Typhoons ( lat.Pterodroma ) - a genus of seabirds from the petrel family ( Procellariidae ). They live in the open sea and are common in all oceans. Characteristic differences are the hooked beak at the tip, long wings and a short tail . The maximum wingspan of typhoons is 85 cm.

Typhoons grow in colonies on coastal cliffs, laying one white egg and hatching it in a hole or on open ground. During the mating season, they lead a nocturnal lifestyle . Outside of the breeding season, these birds spend all their time in the open sea and are able to adapt to the most difficult weather conditions. Their food is small fish and invertebrate marine animals that live near the surface of the water.

Bermuda typhoon ( Pterodroma cahow ) is one of the rarest birds in the world. In the XVII century, this species almost disappeared, as it encountered new predators introduced in its range around Bermuda . Thanks to protective measures, its population today has increased slightly.
