A water bird about the size of a goose. It lives on fish, which it catches with great dexterity; and is so voracious and greedy, that its name has passed into a kind of proverbial use. The Hebrew word translated "cormorant" in Isaiah 34:11 Zephaniah 2:14 , should rather be translated, as it is in other passages, "pelican," Leviticus 11:17 .
