Unflappable

Wings that don’t have to flap for hundreds of miles?

No wonder the albatross can fly thousands of miles

without stopping. It can even nap while flying! It

dozes off while gliding at 25 miles (40 kilometers)

per hour. Hopefully it watches out for mountains!

More About Albatrosses

Albatrosses are among the largest of flying birds with

wingspans reaching up to 12 feet (3.7 meters). The

special way they angle their wings to take advantage of

wind patterns means they can fly more than 600 miles

(1,000 kilometers) without flapping their wings.
