This article is about the bird family. For other uses, see Albatross (disambiguation). Albatrosses, of the biological family Diomedeidae, are large seabirds allied to the procellariids, storm petrels and diving petrels in the order Procellariiformes (the tubenoses). They range widely in the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific.
There are 22 albatross species recognised by IUCN. These are divided in 4 Genera : Albatrosses use their morphologically adapted wings and large wingspans to travel long distances without using muscles. Instead of flapping the wings, they use specialised gliding techniques to minimise the use of muscles and energy.he wingspans of Wandering albatrosses can reach up to 3.5 metres (11 ft). This is the largest wingspan of any bird. An albatross can live up to 60 years and in that life time it would have travelled millions of kilometres. They attain sexual maturity at around 5 years but usually breed when they are 7 - 10 years old.
