The Snow Petrel is the only member of the genus Pagodroma, and a member of the sub-family Fulmarine petrels. They in turn are all members of the Procellariidae family, and the Procellariiformes order.They all share certain identifying features. First, they have nasal passages that attach to the upper bill called naricorns. Although the nostrils on the Albatross are on the sides of the bill. The bills of Procellariiformes are also unique in that they are split into between 7 and 9 horny plates. They produce a stomach oil made up of wax esters and triglycerides that is stored in the proventriculus. This is used against predators as well as an energy rich food source for chicks and for the adults during their long flights.
