Albatrosses are among the largest flying birds, known for their long wingspans and ability to fly long distances over the oceans.

The genus exhibits some sexually size dimorphic species, with females being significantly smaller than males in some instances. They primarily feed on squid, fish and krill by either scavenging, surface seizing or diving.
