And the oscar for best visual effects goes to ...

They live on the wing for nine months of the year, sleeping on the wing, swooping down to grab fish to feed themselves, before returning to where they were born to mate, spending the other three months of the year rearing their young from their one egg. They mate for life. if one of the partnership does not return in a breeding season then the other will never mate again.

The Great Wandering Albatross, greatest bird on this planet.

I just wanted to see wandering albatross in action and was gifted the best cinematographic experience of my life.
What did I just witness???

[Pupsleep]

To me this will always be one of the best videos on youtube

[JamieMckaye]

That was literally the best video hands down I’ve ever seen.

I just got some really good photos of 4 different species of seabirds that were hunting together next to my cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic. I was blown away by the beauty and size of them

*Randy Savage has some great knowledge*

[FoXMaSteR]

I don't understand the ending, if the guy was able to levitate and freeze time why does he suddently falls ? And if he falls why can't he swim or exit the water ? I make no sense to me, please explain in details :(

The noble albatross has long been a beacon of hope for many a lost fisherman.

[Variecs]

Twelve feet? Wow!..

[wahaajul-haq]
