The black-footed albatross is a large seabird with dark brown plumage and completely black feet. It spends almost its entire life flying over the waters of the northern Pacific Ocean and returns to land only for breeding.
The black-footed albatross differs from other albatrosses by its almost entirely dark coloration and black legs. It is important to the ocean ecosystem as a consumer and carrier of nutrients between the sea and islands.
