  • With remarkable grace and precision, a Wandering Albatross capitalizes on its enormous wingspan (up to 11 feet 6 inches) to effortlessly soar over the ocean surface.

  • After returning from sea at dusk, a pair of yellow-eyed penguins ascend the coastal cliff for shelter from the battering waves. Their quiet ritual of mutual preening helps reinforce pair bonds, as well as conditioning their feathers with preen oil from a gland found at the tip of their tails.<br />
<br />
Despite rigorous conservation efforts, the endangered yellow-eyed penguin has dwindled to a mere 166 breeding pairs on the mainland of New Zealand.<br />
<br />
Ongoing threats persist from both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, consisting of overfishing, bycatch in fishing nets, destruction of the sea floor via bottom-trawling, disease, loss of habitat on land, and climate change.

  • Gannets hunt fish by diving from a height into the sea and pursuing their prey underwater. Gannets have a number of adaptations which enable them to do this: 1) they have no external nostrils, they are located inside the mouth instead; 2) they have air sacs in their face and chest under their skin which act like bubble wrapping, cushioning the impact with the water; and 3) their eyes are positioned far enough forward on their face to give them binocular vision, allowing them to judge distances accurately.
