For fledging albatross, that' s not as simple as you' d think. The problem is the island' s runway is a bit short, especially for a bird with one of the world' s longest wingspans. The maiden flight often ends in a wet landing. And that' s why the sharks are here. With their highly acute senses, they' re onto the chicks within a few moments of touchdown. During two weeks of fledging, over 100 albatross chicks make the same fatal error and the sharks take full advantage. In an ocean where food can be surprisingly scarce, this annual feast is something these sharks depend on. The size of many South Pacific islands means that food is often limited. |
