1. Black-browed Albatross

- Black-browed Albatross.
- Of the 13 kinds of albatross, the black-browed albatross is one of the smallest. ... The black-browed albatross lives a roaming life over the sea, flying thousands of kilometers before setting foot on land, so being an excellent and efficient flyer is a must. Sometimes these birds will eat what they find floating about, or small squid and fish, but the black-browed albatross's primary food is krill, the tiny shrimp that baleen whales also call their favorite! The black-browed albatross will cover an area that spans 900km in diameter regularly looking for delicious krill! .
- When an albatross comes in for a landing, it will lower its webbed feet and use them like brakes to slow down its flight! .
- The black-browed albatross will make its nest of dirt and moss on small, rocky islands with millions of other Antarctic seabirds, like penguins! This makes for some crowded quarters. Although the albatross won't mind a rock hopper penguin right next to its nest, the other albatrosses better watch out. ...
- The zigzag takes them in one direction, but they seem to be taking their time -- actually, an albatross is just letting the wind do all the work! .
