The Great Black-Backed Gull is a large bird found primarily along the coasts of North America and Europe. It is easily recognizable by its striking black back and wings, contrasting with its white body and yellow beak. This species is known for its impressive size, making it the largest gull in the world. These gulls are opportunistic feeders, often scavenging for food in urban areas and near fishing ports. They primarily eat fish, crustaceans, and even the remains of other birds. Their adaptability to various environments has contributed to their widespread presence along coastal regions.
