So You Think You Can Dance—Like an Albatross?

So You Think You Can Dance—Like an Albatross? This delightful video features four subadult Laysan Albatrosses practicing their courtship moves. The birds' antics are funny, but the video explains how it all comes together for a serious purpose. All those bill snaps, head tucks, and "sky moos" help establish and strengthen pair bonds. All the footage and albatross sounds were recorded on our albatross cam streaming live from Kauai, Hawaii. Watch the video—thencheck out the live cam.
