The giant albatross is one of the largest living birds, often reaching wingspans of over 10 feet! They live most of their lives on the water, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and squids. They latch onto their squirming prey using their bladed beaks, which are designed for a secure and steady grip.

History
Albatrosses have a special place in maritime folklore and superstition, with The Rime of the Ancient Mariner being their most famous depiction. It’s a common myth amongst sailors that hurting or killing an albatross ensures dangers or disaster on a voyage. Despite their symbolic image and popularity in nautical culture, giant albatrosses have been negatively affected by human activities, such as overfishing. If you decide to take home this awesome avian animal, keep in mind that it has a huge appetite!
