Southern Royal Albatross
(Diomedea [epomophora] epomophora)
 |
| Southern Royal Albatross is very similar in size to the Wandering Albatross, with the largest individuals having a wingspan of 3.5m and weighing over 10kg). |
 |
| The black border to the cutting edge of the upper mandible and wide, upward-pointing nostrils distinguishes Royal Albatrosses from the members of the Wandering Albatross complex. |
