    This is a run-up, because the albatross is too heavy to fly in place, so it has to run a long distance.

    This is to increase the initial velocity in order to be able to fly better.

    Albatross weigh more and take off in a similar way to an airplane, with a run-up before they can take off.

    Albatross is found in many parts of the globe because of its very strong ability to fly. In the sea, they feed on fish and marine life such as krill. Their body shape has evolved to be fully adapted, long-flying body shape.

    They have a barbed hook on their beak so that they can hook their prey in their mouths when they catch it. They have a very strong sense of smell and can smell their prey from a very long distance. As a result of their long time in the sky, their feet and hind toes have degenerated.

    The albatross's wings, which reach a length of four meters, make it more suitable for flying on the surface than other birds. When an albatross flies over the sea, it only takes a lot of effort to take off. When it flies, it takes advantage of the sea breeze and the rising water vapor on the ocean to fly upwards against the wind.

    After a smooth flight, the albatross can even glide day and night for six days. Its rest can also be completed in flight, and the brain structure of the albatross is relatively unique, and the left and right parts can be separated to rest independently.

    Biological researchers have made very detailed observations and studies of albatrosses' ability to fly, and it has been found that some albatrosses have circled the Earth for a full circle over the course of 60 days. For such flying abilities as albatrosses, no other bird in nature can surpass them.

    Although albatross are very capable of flying, their numbers are still decreasing. In 2009, albatrosses were listed as endangered species worldwide.

    Because the albatross is one of the most gliding birds. In windy climates, it can stay in the air for hours without flapping its extremely long, narrow wings. They need to take off against the wind and sometimes run or take off from the edge of a cliff.

    When there is no wind, it is difficult to lift its bulky body into the air and float on the water.

    Morphological characteristics: about 70-140 cm in length, large seabirds. The front end of the mouth is hooked.

    The nostrils are tubular and separated from side to side. The wings are longer and the tail is shorter. The legs are short and located at the back of the body.

    The hind toes are missing or degenerate, and the anterior three toes are fully webbed. The mouth is long and strong, covered by many sheets, the apex of the upper mouth is flexed downward, the nose is tubular and the neck is short, the body is thick and strong, the tail is short, the wings are narrow and extra-large, the wings can reach 3 4 meters, and the weight is 8 9 kg.

    1. Physiological structure, it has very long wings, and some of the wing end spacing can reach 3 4 meters. 2. Good physical strength, it can travel thousands of beats a day, take it for granted, fly for several days, and never get tired. 3. Good at using monsoon and updraft, it is an expert in sliding in the air, it can not flap its wings for several hours, only by virtue of the effect of the air current, gliding vigorously, and it seems very comfortable.

    Albatross represents loyalty in love, symbolizing love loyalty.

    The origin of the name of albatross: letter is the calm and casual nature of "easy to come", just like an old man who believes in the sky, overlooking the ups and downs of the earth; Such a skillful and calm at your fingertips should be the temperament that only the "old man" has over the years, and the chic and comfortable banquet it symbolizes - the sky above his head, and the blue under his feet.

They especially like to stick their beaks into the air in order to show off their beautiful curves to their lovers.

We know that flying a kite always involves pulling the kite into the wind for a certain distance, with the aim of increasing the speed of the kite relative to the air, so that it can get more lift and rise faster. Similarly, the airplane should also run a distance before takeoff, so that it can produce enough lift to leave the ground, if it takes off under the headwind, the plane has not yet taxied and has a certain speed relative to the air movement, and gets a part of the lift, at this time the aircraft only needs a relatively small speed to reach the lift required from the ground, so compared with no wind, the distance of the glide is shorter. On the other hand, when an airplane takes off downwind, the plane needs to reach a large speed to reach the lift required to get off the ground, so the glide distance is relatively longer. >>>More
