Albatrosses, английский
There are many varieties of this member of the petrel family including the mollymawk and wandering albatross. the latter is the largest of all flying birds, with a wingspan of up to five meters (15 feet), weighing up to 11 kilograms (24 lbs), and flying at up to 53 km/h (33 mph). completely oceanic, they land only to lay eggs and raise chicks. sailors believe that killing one is an horrendous maritime crime which will bring disaster to the ship committing the murder. this is because seamen have long believed that when a shipmate dies, his body goes to davy jones’ locker, but his soul is transferred to an albatross whose supernatural nature seems to be confirmed when it is seen to remain aloft without flapping its wings for days on end (using the technique of “dynamic soaring” to exploit and glide over cross-currents of air). since world war ii, the albatross has been losing its fight for existence. pirate fishermen troll for toothfish, their principal food, with long lines that trap and drown the birds as well as destroying their food supply. (see alsomother carey’s chickens.)
