The Peruvian booby (Sula variegata) is an endemic bird of the Peruvian current, and an important predator of the marine community to which it belongs.[3] Its distribution is much less widespread than other closely related booby species. It is the most abundant seabird species that inhabits the Peruvian coast[4] and the second most important guano-producing seabird. During the mid-twentieth century, the Peruvian booby population reached 3 million birds.[5]
