A skua is a dark-coloured gull-like seabird,
family Stercorariidae, living in Arctic and
Antarctic waters. Skuas can grow up to 60cm
(2ft) long and are good fliers. They are
aggressive scavengers, and seldom fish for
themselves but force gulls to disgorge their
catch, and also eat chicks of other birds.
