The flutterbirds are a diverse group of tubenoses that come in a number of different species, living in the Antarctic Tropical Rainforest (as well as other habitats of the continent), 100 million AD. One group of Antarctic seabirds that fared particularly well in the new conditions were procellariiforms, such as shearwaters, fulmars, and albatrosses. Dating back to the Middle Paleogene (and possibly the Late Cretaceous), procellariiforms were almost exclusively pelagic (feeding in the open ocean) and bred mostly on islands in the Southern Hemisphere (especially around New Zealand), although some breeding grounds were as far north as the Caribbean and even on the northeastern tip of Greenland. They also wandered widely at sea during the nonbreeding season. Already capable of adapting to dif
