The Kormoran is a type of bird known for its distinctive long neck and dark plumage. Commonly found near water bodies, these birds are excellent divers, using their webbed feet to propel themselves underwater in search of fish. They often perch on rocks or trees with their wings spread out to dry after diving. In addition to its natural habitat, the Kormoran is also the name of a German naval vessel, specifically a class of auxiliary cruisers used during World War II. These ships were designed for commerce raiding and played a significant role in naval warfare during that period.
