Cape Gannet - Similar Species

Similar Species

The Cape Gannet is identified from the Australasian Gannet by the all-black tail, a longer black stripe down the throat (from underneath the beak) and more extensive black on the face, but all of these features are difficult to identify unless at close proximity. The Cape Gannet is also very similar to the Northern Gannet, but the latter differs from its entirely white tail and its wings, which are only black at the tip.

Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or species:

    Take us generally as a people, we are neither lazy nor idle; and considering how little we have to excite or stimulate us, I am almost astonished that there are so many industrious and ambitious ones to be found; although I acknowledge, with extreme sorrow, that there are some who never were and never will be serviceable to society. And have you not a similar class among yourselves?
    Maria Stewart (1803–1879)

    An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
    Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
