NEW YORK, July 31 (UPI) -- A South American sea bird fitted with a small camera stunned watchers as it became "superbird," diving underwater for almost 3 minutes to feed, researchers say.
Researchers from the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society and the National Research Council of Argentina recently fitted an imperial cormorant with the camera then watched as it dove 150 feet underwater in 40 seconds, cruised on the ocean floor for 80 seconds until it caught a fish, then returned to the surface 40 seconds later.
