Albatrosses, of the biological family Diomedeidae, are large seabirds allied to the procellariids, storm-petrels and diving-petrels in the order Procellariiformes. They range widely in the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific. They are absent from the North Atlantic.
Food: They feed on fish, squid, and krill by scavenging, surface seizing or diving.
Nesting: Albatrosses are colonial, nesting for the most part on remote oceanic islands, often with several species nesting together.
Breeding: A breeding season can take over a year from laying to fledgling, with only a single egg laid in each breeding attempt.
Taking off is one of the main times albatrosses use flapping in order to fly, and is the most energetically demanding part of a journey.
