I’m not sure how this one sat in the archives as long as it did. Always a nice surprise to stumble on one like this. These Alaska brown bears were taking note of an approaching male bear. Males are known to be aggressive toward the cubs, which drew their attention away from the photographer.

Gulosus aristotelis - European Shag - Krähenscharbe - Topskarv - Cormoran huppé - Cormorán moñudo - Toppskarv - Topskarv - karimetso - Kormoran czubaty - . . .

Wikipedia (edited): "The European shag was formerly classified within the genus Phalacrocorax, but a 2014 study found it to be significantly more diverged than the clade containing Phalacrocorax and Urile, but basal to the clade containing Nannopterum and Leucocarbo, and thus classified it in its own genus, Gulosus.

It feeds in the sea, and, unlike the great cormorant, is rare inland. It will winter along any coast that is well-supplied with fish. The European shag is one of the deepest divers among the cormorant family. Using depth gauges, European shags were recorded diving up to 61m deep. European shags are preponderantly benthic zone feeders, i.e. they find their prey on the sea bottom. They will eat a wide range of fish but their commonest prey is the sand eel. Shags will travel many kilometres from their roosting sites in order to feed."
