🐦Blue-footed booby
O patola-de-pés-azuis (Sula nebouxii), atobá-de-pés-azuis ou atobá-de-pé-azul é uma ave marinha nativa das regiões subtropicais e tropicais do leste do Oceano Pacífico. É uma das seis espécies do gênero Sula – conhecidas como atobás. É facilmente reconhecível por seus distintivos pés azuis brilhantes, que é uma característica sexualmente selecionada, sendo aves de porte médio, com bico e asas longas e pontiagudas, adaptadas para o voo rápido e a caça ágil. Os machos exibem seus pés em um elaborado ritual de acasalamento, levantando-os para cima e para baixo enquanto se pavoneiam diante da fêmea.
