Which bird makes the deepest dive in search of food?
Quick Answer
Emperor penguins are the deepest-diving birds, regularly reaching around 500 meters and recorded at more than 500 meters deep.
The Full Story
Among birds, emperor penguins are unmatched for deep diving. They hunt fish, squid, and krill beneath Antarctic sea ice and can dive to around 500 meters, with the deepest recorded dives exceeding that figure. Their bodies are adapted for extreme pressure and cold, including dense bones and efficient oxygen storage. No flying bird dives nearly as deep as an emperor penguin.
