The Royal Albatross Diomedea epomophora with a wingspan of 9 - 11 feet is the second only to the Wondering Albatross in wingspan. This is illustrated in a photo of Sally and Royal Albatross Wingspan taken at the visitor’s center of the Royal Albatross Colony at the end of the Otago Peninsula outside of Dunedin.
The head is white and the tail is white with a black tip. The Royal Albatross come in two varieties Northern and Southern. The Southern differs from the Northern by the presence of a white top front edge of the wings and the wing coverts dusted with white.
