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.
They are some of the largest flying birds in the world. The great albatrosses have wingspans which can reach 3.7 m (12 feet). Albatrosses mostly nest on remote ocean islands and it is not uncommon for a number of species to nest together. Of the 21 species of albatrosses, 19 are listed as threatened with extinction.
