Cormorants - Kormorane

            Cormorants (Phalacrocoracidae) are a family from the order Suliformes. They are medium-sized to large water birds that breed in colonies and are distributed worldwide with over 40 species. If the birds have a mop of feathers, they are known as "shags", otherwise as "cormorants", but this categorisation does not correspond to the actual relationship. In common parlance, these birds are also called "sea ravens", "sea ravens" or "water ravens"; the name cormorant is derived from the Latin "corvus marinus" ("sea raven").

Die Kormorane (Phalacrocoracidae) sind eine Familie aus der Ordnung Suliformes. Es handelt sich um mittelgroße bis große Wasservögel, die in Kolonien brüten und mit über 40 Arten weltweit verbreitet sind. Tragen die Vögel einen Federschopf, werden sie als „Scharben“, sonst als „Kormorane“ bezeichnet, doch entspricht diese Einteilung nicht den tatsächlichen Verwandtschaftsverhältnissen. Im Volksmund heißen diese Vögel auch „Seeraben“, „Meerraben“ oder „Wasserraben“; der Name Kormoran ist entsprechend aus dem lateinischen „corvus marinus“ („Meerrabe“) abgeleitet.
