About Crowned Cormorant
The crowned cormorant is a small cormorant that is endemic to the waters of the cold Benguela Current of southern Africa. It is an exclusively coastal species and is not found more than 10 km away from land. This species is related to the reed cormorant, and was formerly considered to the same species.
