What does FULMAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A stocky grey and white seabird of the petrel family that nests on sea cliffs.
The fulmar looks gull-like but flies on stiff, gliding wings and has tube-shaped nostrils on its bill. When disturbed at the nest it spits a foul-smelling oil at intruders, which also gave rise to its name, from Old Norse words meaning foul gull. Fulmars have spread widely around northern coasts during the last two centuries.
