About Wandering Albatross
With the largest wingspan of any living bird (up to 3.5 meters), Wandering Albatrosses are masters of soaring flight. They can travel thousands of kilometers without flapping their wings, using dynamic soaring techniques. They breed on sub-Antarctic islands and can live for over 50 years.
