Royal Albatross - Campbell Island
The Royal Albatross
is the second largest behind the Wandering Albatross.
It has a wingspan of around 3m (nearly 10 feet)
and weighs 8.5kg (19lb). There are two types that
are now considered to be separate species, the Southern
Royal Albatross (Diomedea
epomorpha) and
the Northern Royal Albatross (Diomedea
sanfordi).
Campbell Island has almost the entire world's
population of Southern Royal Albatrosses, around
8,500 breeding pairs at present. One chick is raised
every two years.
