Bird #80 - Arctic tern (LC) Requested by @theviridianbeyond
Arctic terns are famous for the longest migration in animals, flying all the way from the Arctic circle to Antarctica and back. Since they don't fly in a straight path, the distance some of them fly every year is more than 2x the circumference of the globe!
Prints (YES I have an INPRNT store now!!! Feel free to request birds to go on there)

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Unfortunately the lava gull isn't made out of lava, but that doesn't make it any less cool! They are named for their dark coloring, which allows them to blend seamlessly into the lava-rock of their home. The 300-600 members of the species reside exclusively on the Galapagos Islands, making them the rarest gull on Earth.
