You're wrong. The wandering albatross has the largest wing span of any living bird. Common knowledge. There's DOCUMENTED cases of 12 feet wing span and unsbustantiated reports of 16-17 feet wing span for the wandering albatross. Condor has the largest wing span of any North American bird, but there's a world outside of North America alright? Consider yourself educated on this matter.

Actually, an 11 ft 11 inch wingspan has been authenticated by Seamen who captured a live specimen of the Wandering Albatross back in the 1960's.

As far as my knowledge is concerned CONDOR belongs to South America and not North America and is better known as Andes Condor as it is found in Andes mountains... I guess we all need to be educated

@kawaii2525 More often than not, it's when humans get close to animals and encroach upon their habitat that their numbers decline, not the other way around.

These birds can glide for days and sleep while doing so. AMAZING!
-
why don't the birds eat each other

From the first view albatros looks like a sea-gull. But when it spreads its wings you can see that its body is less proportional to the wings than the sea-gull's body. Albatros looks "fat" and his wings so thin. LOL

This video was very well put together.

So little is known about the albatross, it's great that they can get so close to people. I just hope that won't be a negative thing like it has been for so many other animals who got close to humans.
