Kelp Gulls are also known as Dominican Gulls, or Black-backed Gulls.
They owe much of their succes to their flexible feeding habits, as they can thrive on almost anything organic. They can be seen scavenging at garbage dumps, or scavenging on dead pups at fur seal colonies, or following fishing vessels for offal and dumped bycatch, and even dropping molluscs from a height on to rocks below.
