Atlantic Yellow-Nosed Albatross
Wildlife
These so-called "foolish gulls" aren't so very foolish, capable of gliding for miles without a single flap of their wings
Black-browed Albatross
Wildlife
So efficient in the air that their in-flight heart rate barely rises above resting, these sub-Antarctic birds pack a stomach full of oil they can spit at would-be attackers
Grey-headed Albatross
Wildlife
These "gold-mouthed" mollymawks live at sea but spend most of their lives in the air, protecting their title as world's fastest horizontal flier
Light-mantled Albatross
Wildlife

Wandering Albatross
Wildlife
These remarkably efficient gliders, named after the Greek hero Diomedes, have the largest wingspan of any bird on the planet
