Why it matters
The Andean gull is unique among its relatives for being the only member of its genus that breeds exclusively in high-altitude mountain lakes rather than along coastlines. Its distinctive combination of pointed wings and a rounded tail allows for agile flight across the thin air of the South American Andes.
