说起飞行,信天翁可算是令人惊异的“滑翔机”。在有风的天气里,这些海鸟不需要煽动巨大的翅膀就能在空中呆上数小时,而且他们也知道尾随船只数日来摄食垃圾。如今,已知大约有17种的信天翁,但只在南极洲附近和太平洋的北部能够发现它们。科学家知道信天翁曾经在大西洋上生活过,但迄今为止,他们却弄不明白这些鸟可能已经灭亡的原因。 When talking about flying, the albatross is an amazing “glider”. In windy weather, these seabirds can stay in the air for hours without needing to shake their huge wings. They also know that the tailwaters have taken food for several days. Today, there are about 17 species of albatross known, but they can only be found near Antarctica and in the north of the Pacific. Scientists know that albatrosses once lived on the Atlantic Ocean, but so far they have failed to understand why these birds may have died.
