Diver Down

This is a Cormorant. They are incredibly adept swimmers and can dive to depths of 200 feet or more. They must have highly evolved cardio-pulmonary systems and organ structures regarding oxygen/Co2 management and hydrostatic pressure. The oldest known Cormorant lived to twenty-three years and eight months (Wow)! When I saw this one he was in a tree with seven other Cormorants. He looks hungry.
