Adaptations of the waved albatross include large beaks to be able to get food out of the water. They also have large wings so they are able to fly very well.

Why are albatrosses limited to the southern hemisphere?

Albatrosses are _not_ limited to the Southern Hemisphere, but it
is an interesting question nonetheless. Maybe it depends on what
you mean by "albatross." In the albatross family, there are many
species, some of which do live in the northern hemisphere. Three
live in the North Pacific, and one lives in the Galapagos Islands
which, being right on the equator, are technically partly in the
Northern Hemisphere. There are no albatrosses in the North
Atlantic. Except for the waved albatross in the Galapagos Islands,
albatrosses do not live in the tropics. This is because they need
wind in order to fly long distances, and there are often long
periods of calm in the tropics. Therefore, those albatrosses that
live in the Southern Hemisphere can not cross to the Northern
Hemisphere, and vice versa. The waved albatross is able to live in
the Galapagos because the local conditions there create enough wind
for them. For more details, see
