About White-chinned Petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis)
- Kingdom: Animals
- Phylum: Chordates
- Class: Birds
- Order: Tubenoses
- Family: Shearwaters and Petrels
A pelagic bird, the white-chinned petrel prefers offshore waters over the continental shelf, and is frequently found in convergence zones, where strong ocean currents meet, and in areas of upwelling, where cold, nutrient rich waters from the ocean depths rise to the surface. Their breeding habitat is characterised by vegetated slopes, or flat, waterlogged, peaty ground (2).
