Everything about The Tasman Booby totally explained
The
Tasman Booby (
Sula (dactylatra) tasmani) was a large
seabird of the
gannet family,
Sulidae, described from bones found on
Norfolk and
Lord Howe Islands in the
Tasman Sea (
van Tets et al 1988). It was believed to have become extinct in the late
18th Century or early
19th Century on Lord Howe Island because of predation by visiting sailors, with the last sight record dating from
1788, when it was already extinct on Norfolk Island.
However, this taxon has more recently (Priddel
et al 2005) been considered to be a
subspecies of the
Masked Booby,
Sula dactylatra tasmani, still extant as a breeding species on Lord Howe Island. Holdaway & Anderson (2001) attribute subfossil material from Norfolk Island simply to
Sula dactylatra.
