Seabirds

Birds that are adapted to life mainly within the marine environment, including gulls, albatrosses, and penguins, often with webbed feet or wings adapted for swimming.

Buoyancy and Insulation

Refers to the ability of an object to float in fluid due to its density being less than the fluid's, and the capacity to reduce heat transfer, respectively.

A process of applying a layer of oil on surfaces to provide lubrication, protection from corrosion, or aesthetic enhancement.
