The fulmar petrel is a seabird that is widely found in the North Atlantic. Known for its elegant flight and long wingspan, this bird is also referred to as the northern fulmar, mallemuck, or Arctic fulmar. Other synonyms for this bird include the fulmar, kagluk, and teurastaja. These birds are often confused with the albatross, which can have a similar appearance and habits. However, the fulmar petrel is smaller and has a distinct bill shape. These birds are important indicators of marine health and are often studied by marine biologists to understand the impacts of climate change on the oceans.
