Shy Albatrosses

starting at €90.00

Water splashes as their wings, measuring over a meter in length, engage in fierce dispute in the fiord. The stern-looking shy albatrosses disagree on who owns the fish catch. These rascals, nesting on three islands off the coast of Tasmania, stop to feed in the foothills of New Zealand's steep mountains on their long journey across the southern oceans. The population of the shy albatross, which was once considered endangered, has grown from about 300 individuals to over 10,000 in just over a hundred years. This is quite an achievement, considering that each pair lays only one egg per year and that adults are killed due to industrial fishing and disease, while chicks fall prey to boobies.

THEIR LAND – A set of organisms in their habitats

Kuvasarja erilaisista yksin tai yhdyskunnissa elävistä eliöistä reviireillään. Oma maa on sen tai niiden ratkaisevan tärkeä elinpiiri, joka ei tunne ihmisen luomia valtion-, tontti- tai muita rajoja. Omassa maassaan eläimellä on niin oman kuin muiden lajien kesken paitsi rauhaisaa rinnakkaiseloa myös keskinäisiä kahinoita sekä luonnonvalintaan ja tasapainoon perustuvaa kovaakin kilpailua – olemassaolon taistelua.

The images in this set can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
