About These Birds
Amsterdam Albatross
Amsterdam Albatross, 100–110 cm, is Critically Endangered with fewer than 100 breeding pairs, restricted to Amsterdam Island in the southern Indian Ocean. Closely related to Antipodean Albatross. Pelagic across Indian Ocean. Threatened by longline fishing, disease, and the tiny, isolated population size.
Tristan Albatross
Tristan Albatross, 100–110 cm, wingspan 250–300 cm, breeds only on Gough Island in the South Atlantic — one of the world's most isolated islands. Critically Endangered; mouse predation on eggs and chicks is causing severe decline. Pelagic across the South Atlantic; piscivore and squid feeder.
