Albatros

Second largest bird able to fly, the Albatros can spend a few years flying around the antarctic region
without landing. It can sleep and feed during fly, so there is no need to go back to land until he is ready
to find a mate. Albatrosses have been documented to fly as long as "10 years" (ten years) before going
back to land. It is, without a doubt, the flying master. It does that effortlessly and using the wind to
glide above the surface of the water to feed and going back up again before repeating the same fly pattern.
This pattern of fly allows the Albatross to spend very little energy to fly.
There are few species of Albatross and they are all critically endangered due to overfishing (depleting its main source of food)
and the use of thousands of hooks in giant fishing nets which they can get trapped into.
