The SKUA is a large, fierce, and powerful I'inl. tyninni/.ini; in a sh.iinefnl mann.T over its 

 weaker relations, and rol>l>iiii; them \\ith>ut merry. It feeds mostly on lish, Imt prefers taking 

 advantage of the labors of others to working honestly for its own living. AS the leaser (Julls 

 are busily fishing, the Skuas hover alx.ut the s]tot. and as soon as a poor Gall has caught u 

 fish, and is going off to his family, down comes the Skua upon him with threatening beak and 

 nx-kiiii: wind's, and when the victim drops his burden, to escape with great, r facility, the Skua 

 darts after the falling fish, and snaps it up In-fore it readies the water. It also eate eggs und 

 the smaller birds, a proi-n-ity which u shared by other Gulls than the Skua.
