Killer Whales and Albatrosses Are Close Friends

Scientists attached small cameras on the backs of four albatrosses on Bird Island in the Antarctic Ocean to learn more about their feeding habits. After three foraging trips, the cameras found the birds tracking killer whales in the open ocean to feed off their scraps.

Many of you might be wondering, and why do I care about albatrosses? Well, Rime of the Ancient Mariner aside, the birds have an eleven-foot wingspan and can glide for hours without flapping their wings once. Not to mention they are amazingly beautiful with eyes that appear to have been painted on. And now scientists have significant insight into their feeding habits.
