Southern giant petrel
The southern giant petrel (''Macronectes giganteus''), also known as the Antarctic giant petrel, giant fulmar, stinker, and stinkpot, is a large seabird of the southern oceans. Its distribution overlaps broadly with the similar northern giant petrel, though it overall is centered slightly further south. Adults of the two species can be separated by the colour of their bill-tip: greenish in the southern and reddish in the northern.
==Taxonomy==
The southern giant petrel is one of two members of the genus Macronectes, which in turn, along with 14 other genera, comprise the Procellariidae family. Macronectes, also referred to as the giant petrels, along with the genus ''Fulmarus'', Cape petrel, Antarctic petrel, and the snow petrel form a sub-family within the larger family.
The southern giant petrel was first described as ''Macronectes giganteus'' by Johann Friedrich Gmelin, in 1789, based on a specimen from Staten Island off Tierra del Fuego.〔
