The
southern giant petrel (
Macronectes giganteus), also known as the
Antarctic giant petrel,
giant fulmar,
stinker, and
stinkpot, is a large
seabird of the southern oceans. Its distribution overlaps broadly with the similar
northern giant petrel, though it overall is centered slightly further south. Adults of the two species can be separated by the colour of their bill-tip: greenish in the southern and reddish in the northern.
