Seagull is the rarest in the world

The Amsterdam albatross has just been proved by biologists of the University of Lethbridge (Canada) to be one of the world's most isolated and rare species. This seabird can weigh up to 8 kg and has a wingspan of 3.5 m.

They were first discovered in 1983 and named after the island of Amsterdam in the Indian Ocean, where they live. Although there is a large wingspan and long distance flight, the seagulls of Amsterdam always return to the only plateau on this island to breed.

Over the past 20 years, Amsterdam has been considered a subspecies of seagulls migrating in the Indian Ocean. However, scientists have recently conducted a DNA test and demonstrated that they are a completely unique and rarest seagull in the world. Due to being geographically isolated, Amsterdam is currently only 170 children with about 18-26 pairs and each pair only produces one egg per year.
