About Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Shorebirds and Allies
  • Family: Gulls, Terns, and Skimmers

The yellow-legged gull or western yellow-legged gull is a large gull found in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, which has only recently achieved wide recognition as a distinct species. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of either the Caspian gull L. cachinnans, or more broadly as a subspecies of the herring gull L. argentatus. The genus name is from Latin Larus which appears to have referred to a gull or other large seabird, and the species name honours the German zoologist Karl Michahelles.
