poolpers

Poolpers are a type of diving birds that inhabit the coastal regions of the western and central Pacific Ocean. They are members of the family Phaethonidae and are closely related to the Tropicbirds and the Petrels. The term "poolper" is a colloquialism and is not a scientifically recognized name for any species of birds.

Poolpers are characterized by their distinctive appearance, which includes a long, pointed beak and a forked tail. They have a predominantly pale plumage, with a greyish-white back and a whitish belly. Adults can reach lengths of up to 90 centimeters, with a wingspan of up to 1 meter.

These birds are known for their spectacular dives, which involve plummeting from a height of up to 40 meters into the water to catch fish and other seafood. The speed at which they dive has been recorded to reach up to 50 kilometers per hour, making them one of the fastest animals on the planet.

Poolpers are generally found in tropical and subtropical regions, where they live on rocky coastlines, coral reefs, and sandy beaches. They are social birds that often live in large colonies and are known to be monogamous, with pairs forming during breeding season.

While the term "poolpers" is not a scientifically recognized name, the species of birds that are commonly referred to by this name are likely members of the genus Pelecanoides, which includes the Peruvian Diving Petrel and the Common Diving Petrel.
