It's an albatross.
Albatross is a giant seabird that can reach more than a meter in length and has wings of more than four meters, making it the largest of all birds. They can glide in the air for a long time, like the aconitum babatross, and can fly more than 10 kilometers without flapping their wings. Albatross like windy and rough weather, because at this time they can fly better with the wind, and experienced sailors know that when albatross appears, the weather will change.
Albatross built its nest on a windward hillside with mud and grass for ease of take-off. Albatross usually does not change mates for life, but courtship ceremonies are performed every year. Female albatross lays eggs in December, and baby albatross is born about two and a half months later.
Chicks stay in the nest for about 300 days, and feeding the chicks often exhausts the parents. Therefore, before it was too late for the little albatross to be fully fledged, the parents had to leave it. The baby albatross continues to grow on its own fat, and after a year it is ready to fly to the sea.

The largest flying bird in the world is the Koli bird, which lives in southeastern Africa. The largest bird is the African ostrich that lives in Africa and the Arab region, with a height of 2 to 3 meters and a weight of about 56 kilograms. Also the bird with the widest wingspan is the wandering albatross up to the meter.
Well, I know so much, as for the smallest bird in the world, I don't know, hehe.

In the legends of most countries, there is a legend of the giant eagle, and it is clear that from the perspective of many peoples, the eagle is the largest bird they know. Now I would like to introduce you to the world's largest flying bird, which is the Mulberry pseudodont, which is a prehistoric giant that lived 25 million years ago, and according to the bird fossils recovered by scientists, it is estimated that the wingspan of the Mulberry pseudotooth bird can reach a meter length, far exceeding the length of the largest flying bird in existence, the wandering albatross twice the length.
Although among the giant eagles, there are indeed large ones such as the Haast giant eagle that can hunt moa, but the eagle is not the largest flying bird, and this laurel belongs to a huge seabird that lived in the Oligocene era. It is the legendary Mulberry pseudodont. Appearing between 25 million and 28 million years ago, the Sang pseudodont mainly glides on its huge Chundong wings, and can glide for several kilometers at the farthest without waving its wings in the process.
In 1983, the skull, leg bones and part of the wing bones of the largest Sanceri pseudodont bird were discovered near South Carolina in the United States, and it was estimated that the longest length of wings after spreading its wings was 7 meters, breaking the record of 7 meters of wingspan of the Argentine giant eagle in one fell swoop, becoming the largest bird in the history of the world.
The wings of the Mulberry Pseudodont are not wide, but they are very long, and they are able to glide for long periods of time, take advantage of the updrafts at sea, and even complete long journeys without moving their wings. During this period, if the bird is hungry, it will swoop down to catch some octopus or eel and other aquatic animals with a relatively soft physique.
The Sancer pseudodont appeared after the extinction of the dinosaurs, but there are not many fossils unearthed at present, so its specific living habits are not very perfect, but according to the area where it appeared was once covered by the sea, and judging from its appearance and predatory habits, it is likely to be similar to today's seagulls.

The largest desert in the world is the Sahara Desert.
Formed about 2.5 million years ago, the Sahara Desert is the world's largest sandy desert, covering an area of about 9.06 million square kilometers, located in northern Africa. The climatic conditions of the region are very harsh, and it is one of the most inhospitable places on earth for living things. >>>More
In 2006, American astronomers discovered the largest and least dense planet discovered by 06. Its diameter is one-third larger than that of Jupiter, the largest in the solar system. It's so dense that some astronomers jokingly call it "like a big, loose cork" that can float on the surface of the water if it's big enough to hold it. >>>More
