Description
The Northern Gannet can dive as deep as 22 meters (72 feet). It thrusts its wings straight out over back, touching in the middle, just before breaking the water surface. It uses its wings and feet to swim deeper in pursuit of fish. If a fish is taken after diving, gannets swallow the fish underwater before surfacing.
Although they are strong and agile fliers, they are clumsy in takeoffs and landings.
Rendered in Poser 2012 with very minor postwork.
Models: Waves at the Beach & Splash Tool (Nerd3d) and Northern Gannet from Songbird ReMix Seabirds2 (Ken Gilliland).
