Cormorants [noun]

Most of the Cormorant's time is spent in fishing, for he lives entirely on fish, and catches immense numbers of them.

This habit seems to show that the Cormorant uses his wings, as well as his feet, in his frequent journeys under water.

Sometimes the Cormorant swims slowly along with his head under water, on the watch for small fish.

The Cormorant could not perform this feat, but his throat will stretch so as to allow the passage of large fish.

In some countries there is a price on his head--that is, so much money is given for every Cormorant killed.

The Cormorant is famous for his large appetite; he chases even big fish, of a size to choke him, you would think.

"A nobly-born cormorant without doubt," exclaimed the youth approvingly.

Better go without your dinner, I thought, than be thus everlastingly fishing for it like a cormorant.

The result was that Peggoty used immediately to walk off and leave his cormorant kinsman to the undivided booty.

Mr. Parton describes with humour one of these "bosses," an improvement on the pugilists and cormorant thieves of a remote period.
