"Wandering Albatross at sea"
Original Acrylic 21" x 36"


Albatross have evolved a mechanism that allows them to lock their wings in extension and glide without using wing muscles. They can travel long distances without expending much energy. They are able to excrete salt through a tube above their bill so that they can drink sea water and stay far from land for years.
