Renowned for its incredible endurance, the albatross is among the largest flying birds that can stay airborne for years, skillfully navigating the vast expanses of the ocean without the need to land.
Usually, when mating, they land on ground and touch the water’s surface for feeding purposes. They begin their oceanic journeys early in life, returning to land to breed around the age of 3 to 5 years.
What sets the albatross apart is its remarkable long-distance flights. With a wingspan of up to 11 feet, they can cover distances of over 10,000 miles in a single journey. These birds demonstrate unmatched stamina and determination.
Some albatross species have even been observed circumnavigating the globe in a matter of weeks, showcasing their exceptional flying prowess.
