Strange But True
With Dr. Riley M Rice

The Ultimate In "Cruise Control"

The wandering Albatross can fly up to 10,000 miles in a single trip and can circle the entire globe in just 46 days!
Even crazier? They do this almost entirely by gliding. They have a special "shoulder-lock" tendon that lets them lock their wings in place, allowing them to soar for hours without flapping or wasting a single bit of muscle energy.

Turkey Vulture - Buzzard ~ © 2026
Mark Bohland, M.Photog., M.Ed.

Neither Riley nor Mr. Bohland live near the ocean, so they asked their AI Friend to create a photorealistic image of an Albatross

By the way, the wing span of the turkey vulture above is about 5.5-6 feet.
An Albatross’s wing span can be up to 11.5 feet!
