Sula nebouxii

The answer to Alex pd. 5's question about what the scientific name for the Blue-Footed Booby is Sula nebouxii. The blue-footed booby is in the family of Sulidae which includes gannets and boobies. Both these kinds of birds swim in the water to catch fish. The genus is Sula which include any kind of booby: blue-footed, red-footed, or masked boobies. I hoped that answered Alex's question and more.
