Total Length: 66 to 77 cm; Wingspan: 91 to 101 cm (Ref. 8812). Wingspan: 152 cm. The smallest booby (Ref. 91362). Causes of decrease in population is human exploitation, habitat destruction especially in the Western Indian Ocean, predation by rats, and tourism disturbance (84934). Found <200 m offshore, over deep waters (Ref. 356). Colonial breeder in trees on marine islands. Gregarious; freely approaches ships, undertaking long foraging trips (Ref. 91362). Exhibits plunge diving (Ref. 356). Maturity at past 2 to 3 years (Ref. 91362).
