This is a Laysan Albatross. It's the only captive albatross in any zoo or aquarium in the United States. Her name is Makana and she joined the aquarium after she was found with an injured wing in Hawaii. They bring her out once a day and have her do her calls, spread her wings, and dance. She's about five pounds with a 5-ft wing span. So, she's one of the smaller albatrosses (albatri???).
