A red footed booby sula sula sits on a branch in a tree on Genovesa Island in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador Whalers gave the booby its name because it would not run away from the sailors when they came on shore and thus in the slang of Britain at the time was judged to be as dumb as a booby There are no natural predators on the Galapagos Islands which makes the animal life fearless of humans
