ALBATROSS CHICK.tif
These chicks are losing the last of their down—They are just a few weeks away from taking off to spend the next few years of its life at sea.
Young albatrosses don’t start a family until they’re at least eight years old, and even then, pairs raise only one chick every two years. That means the population can’t rebound quickly from any shocks.
