The prions () or whalebirds are small petrels in the genera Pachyptila Halobaena Procellariidae along with the gadfly petrels , shearwaters and fulmarine petrels . The name comes from the Greek priōn saw ", a reference of the serrated edges of the birds' saw-like bill .[1] [2]
They are found in the Southern Ocean and breed on a number of subantarctic islands.[3] in ) long, and have blue-grey upper parts and white underparts. Three species of prion have flattened bills with a fringe of lamellae that act as strainers for zooplankton .[4] crustacea such as copepods , ostracods , decapods , and krill , as well as some fish such as myctophids and nototheniids .
List of species
[ edit ]
In addition, fossil remains of some hitherto undescribed prehistoric species have been found. The oldest comes from the Late Miocene (Tortonian , some 7 to 12 million years ago) of the Bahía Inglesa Formation in Chile .
