Diomedea epomophora

The Royal Albatross, Diomedea epomophora, is a large seabird.

Cuttlefish, fish, shrimp and crabs are the most important food for albatross, and the leftovers abandoned by sea liners (such as dead fish, animal organs, etc.) are also extremely fond of. So, they are always following the ship, sometimes up to the clouds to catch aerial targets, and sometimes close to the towering waves, diving to hunt food.

The chicks get digested fat and semi-digested food from their parents. After five months of careful rearing, the chicks grow solid feathers and can live an independent life in the wind and waves. Young birds start breeding when they are 5 to 8 years old and generally live for 20 to 30 years.

Ornithologists estimate that at least 10 million albatrosses have been killed in just 50 years and have become extinct in many seas. In 1960, at the International Bird Conservation Conference held in Tokyo, Japan, the albatross was listed as an internationally protected bird.
