* 

El charrán real (Thalasseus maximus), también denominado gaviotín o pagaza real,  es una especiede ave de la familia Sternidae que se encuentra principalmente en las costas de África y América.
Inicialmente se incluyó en el género Sterna, como Sterna maxima, pero fue trasladado a su actual género, Thalasseus, después de que estudios de ADN mitocondrial confirmaran la necesidad de separar a los charranes según sus tres tipos de patrones de color en la cabeza (sin capirote negro, con capirote negro, y con capirote negro y frente blanca) por corresponder a distintos clados.
El nombre del género deriva del término griego Thalassa (mar), y el de la especie, el latino maximus, se refiere a su gran tamaño.

The royal tern (Thalasseus maximus) is a seabird in the tern family Sternidae.
The royal tern lives on the coast and is only found near salt water. They tend to feed near the shore, close to the beach or in backwater bays. The royal tern's conservation status is listed as least concern.
The royal tern belongs to the class Aves and the order Charadriiformes. Charadriiformes are mainly seabirds of small to medium-large size. The royal tern is also in the family Sternidae because of its white plumage, black cap on its head, long bill, webbed feet, and bodies that are more streamlined than those of gulls.
