gPhoebetria palpebrata
Phoebetria translates into bright belly, while palpebrata means an eyelid (noting their “popping” white eyelid)..
Family: Diomedeidae (Albatross)
Fun Fact: “Light-mantled albatrosses are the deepest diving of the albatrosses, often diving to 5 m (15 feet) and once being recorded as deep as 12 m (36 feet).” (ADW)
Habitat: They are endemic to pelagic waters and coastal areas of Antarctica and the surrounding southern islands (like South Gerogria, Prince Edward Islands, etc.).
They spend most of their lives at sea, especially juveniles before they are ready to breed. (ADW)
