VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
The albatross is one of the largest flying birds in the world, and, it is extremely adept at staying in the air. Their gliding abilities allow them to stay airborne without flapping for hours. The bird looks like a gull, with similar plumage. And, in fact, even the temperament of the albatross on land can be compared to the gull. One nickname for the bird, mollymawk, is Dutch for “foolish gull.” The Northern Royal Albatross Colony at Taiaroa Head in New Zealand has more than forty thousand sightseers annually. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com learns more about this majestic bird, and its habitat in New Zealand.
