RE: [Albatross]: Marriage for life or several years without land
And we complain when the next supermarket is not within 500m...
Just out of curiosity: how do they do it with brood care? In the air???
Und wir jammern, wenn der nächste Supermarkt nicht innerhalb 500m erreichbar ist...
Nur so aus Neugierde: wie machen die das mit der Brutpflege? In der Luft???
This is a good question:). Imagine, they are sometimes looking for a couple for 15 years! They nest on the shores of the Southern Ocean on the rocks. They have long mating dances with shouts and bows. They choose rocks not by chance, it is easier to take off there. But they never land on ships, it is difficult for them to take off.
Apparently, albatrosses need land only to prolong their kind in heavenly wanderings:)
