What is the wingspan of an albratross?

The wingspan of an albatross can vary significantly depending on the species, but the wandering albatross has the largest wingspan of any living bird, measuring up to 12 feet (about 3.6 meters) across. Other species of albatross typically have wingspans ranging from about 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters). These impressive wingspans enable albatrosses to glide long distances over the ocean with minimal effort.
