Albatross Flight and Behavior

The video explores the wandering albatross, known for its long wingspan and life at sea. It highlights the bird's feeding habits, parenting, and unique flight mechanics, including dynamic soaring, which allows it to travel vast distances without flapping its wings. The albatross's ability to harness wind energy makes it an efficient flyer, capable of covering over 16,000 kilometers without landing.
