1. Birds and their wingspan Name : Shruti Ranjan Class : X – C Subject : English

2. Wandering Albatross The wandering albatross is the largest of all the greater albatrosses and has a wingspan of more than 3 meters with the largest ones around 3.7 meters. That’s more than 12ft in length and makes the wandering albatross the bird with the longest wingspan in the world. This huge wingspan of the wandering albatross makes it an amazing flight sea bird.

3. Great White Pelican The great Wandering pelican is next in our list and we are quite familiar with the bird through movies and funny Y outube videos of them trying to attack people. The great white pelican is known to have a wingspan of 3.5 meters .

4. Andean Condor Widely considered by many to be the largest of all birds, the Andean condor has a wingspan of 3.3m. While it may have smaller wingspan than the albatross or the pelican, the condor still is considered the biggest due to its weight with the males in the species reaching upto 15 kilograms. This makes the Andean condor the largest flight bird in land .

5. Marabou Stork The Marabou stork is the largest member of the stork family with an average wingspan of 3.2 meters. The Marabou stork is found in the lands south of the Saharan desert and is also known as the undertaker bird because of the way it looks when viewed from behind. The Marabou Stork is also a scavenger and that explains the reason behind the bald head as it is easier to clean and feeding of a big carcass.

6. Trumpeter Swan The beautiful and elegant Trumpeter Swan completes the list with an average wingspan of 3.1 meters. The trumpeter swan is a native of America and exists throughout the Northern parts of the continent. The trumpeter swan is quite beautiful but heavy and hence needs a large wingspan to lift its weight and fly.

7. Buzzards The common buzzard is a medium-sized bird with a wingspan of up to 1.36 m (4.5 feet). Buzzards usually catch small mammals like mice and squirrels but will also feed on carrion (dead animals that they find).

8. Hawks Hawks are slightly smaller birds that tend to live in forested areas and dive out of trees quickly to snatch their prey. The goshawk shown here can have a wingspan of up to 1.27 m (4.2 feet), just a bit smaller than the buzzard. Hawks are known for their incredibly sharp eyesight and can see about 5 times more clearly than humans!

9. Falcons Falcons can have wingspans of up to 1.27m (4.2 feet), but most species are smaller than this and have wingspans up to 1.16 m (3.7 feet). Falcons’ wings are very thin and this allows them to fly and turn quickly. The fastest falcons, the peregrine falcons, can fly up to 320 km/h (200 mph), making them the fastest animals on earth!

10. Eagles Eagles are the largest raptors and have powerful wings spanning up to 2.3 m (7.5 feet). They are strong predators who like to catch fish, however they have been known to swoop down and carry off larger animals – even baby deer!

11. Himalayan vulture It is one of the largest vultures of Asia, able to reach a wingspan of about 3 m and weighing more than 10 kg. Feeding exclusively on carcasses of dead animals, especially of domestic yaks, the Himalayan Griffon Vulture is in competition not only with birds but also with wolves, Snow Leopards and other carnivores.
