At first, the idea of a bird maintaining a loving relationship may sound like something that you could only see in a Disney movie, but that's because you haven't met the waved albatross. These incredible creatures have one of the sweetest stories of any animal, as they are monogamous, and once a couple pairs up, they will stay together faithfully for the rest of their lives. Far from just a social gesture, this strategy is actually the secret to their survival, because the albatrosses have a lot of crazy challenges to overcome when it comes to creating the next generation - as they only lay one egg per year and only breed on one remote island in the entire world. This strategy comes with a ton of risks, but the ways that they overcome them are surprisingly human, and far more relatable than you think. Get ready, because this is one real life love story you will not want to miss!
As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to Emilio from @AnimalEncountersEP for helping us realize our lifelong dream of visiting the Galápagos Islands and finding these iconic and absolutely adorable animals. His knowledge and experience were invaluable, and without the incredible albatross footage he has captured, this video would simply not have been possible. Also, a big shoutout to Jack and Gage @JacksWorldofWildlife for joining us on this trip of a lifetime!
