The Nazca Booby (Sula granti) is found in the eastern Pacific Ocean, primarily on the Galápagos Islands. Nazca Boobies are known for practicing obligate siblicide, where the mothers lay two eggs, several days apart. If both eggs hatch, the elder chick pushes its sibling out of the nest area, leaving it to die of thirst or cold.
