Albatross

Albatrosses are among the largest flying birds, with some species having wingspans over three meters. They spend most of their lives at sea, feeding on marine life and grooming in flight. Young albatrosses may not touch land for years, but they return to breed. The largest colony is on Steeple Jason Island, where thousands return annually to nest. Albatrosses form lifelong pairs, with one parent guarding the nest while the other forages. Over their lifetime, they can fly millions of kilometers, enough to circle the Earth over 100 times.
