Diomedeidae

Diomedeidae is the scientific family that includes albatrosses, large seabirds known for their impressive wingspan and ability to glide long distances over the ocean with minimal effort. They are primarily found in the Southern Ocean and around sub-Antarctic islands. Albatrosses are excellent flyers, using air currents to travel great distances in search of food such as fish and squid. They play a crucial role in marine ecosystems and are known for their strong, hooked beaks suited to catching prey. Many species are threatened by habitat loss, fishing practices, and climate changes.
