The deployment of capillary depth recorders, which record the maximum dive depth undertaken by a bird, has shown that while some species, such as the wandering albatross, do not dive deeper than a metre, some species, such as the light-mantled albatross, have a mean diving depth of almost 5 m (16 ft) and can dive as deep as 12.5 m (41 ft).

Waved albatross are spectacular flyers, perhaps even the most famous. They can fly for hours without stalling and they do this by dynamic soaring. The wind speed near the surface of the sea is much lower than about 50 ft (15 m) in the air. The waved albatross uses this to its advantage by gliding at speed into the wind.
Derived from the World War I-era torpedo boat SMS H145, [Note 1] the Type 23 torpedo boat was slightly larger, but had a similar armament and speed. [1] The Type 23s had an overall length of 87.7 meters (287 ft 9 in) and were 85.7 meters (281 ft 2 in) long at the waterline. [2]

The Galapagos albatross is critically endangered with a declining population. Today, there are estimated to be around 50,000 to 70,000 individuals in the species. The biggest threat to these ...
Mollymawks have the largest range in size of all the albatross genera, as their wingspans are 180 to 256 cm (71–101 in). [9] Mollymawks have what has been described as gull -like plumage , with dark black backs, mantle and tails and lighter heads, underwings and bellies.
How language affects identity and mental health. Though the lack of Spanish fluency is common among second- and third-generation Latinos, it can often result in teasing by family and friends.The ...
The southern royal albatross has a length of 112 to 123 cm (44–48 in) [13] and a mean weight of 8.5 kg (19 lb). At Campbell Island, 11 males were found to have a mean mass of 10.3 kg (23 lb) and 7 females were found to have a mean mass of 7.7 kg (17 lb), thus may be heavier on average than most colonies of wandering albatross.
