How Big is the Wandering Albatross?
The wandering albatross is the world’s biggest albatross. It’s also the bird with the biggest wingspan of any living bird. Measured from tip to tip, its wings can reach up to 3.5 metres across (11.5 feet)! Since the Wandering Albatross is also very light for its size (adults weigh about 6-12 kg, or 13-26 lb) these birds are excellent flyers.
