Laysan Albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis)
DinApril Day 23: A dinosaur that looks like an animal that is not a dinosaur (that your father saw).
Welcome to DinApril 2026, where instead of recycling my list from last year, I made my father come up with the dinosaurs! Our twenty-third day features a dinosaur that looks like an animal that is not a dinosaur: Phoebastria albatrus! A female short-tailed albatross has caught a Japanese flying squid and is bringing it home to her baby, only to be caught by surprise by the sight of a male Pteranodon longiceps carrying an Enchoteuthis that probably weighs a lot more than he does (and that isn't even the type species). How the pterosaur managed to pick up the stem-octopod, much less fly off with it, will be a riddle for the ages.
My father is one of those people who keeps thinking that Pteranodon is a dinosaur, so comparing it to a bird with a similar ecology made sense for me.
Coloration inspired by the actual animal.

Photos really could never do the true, striking beauty of these birds justice!
(I wish I had more time/capacity to go through, edit, & make posts of the seemingly endless collection of photos & videos I've amassed over the last nearly 2 decades of fieldwork & other adventures...alas, having to, you know...be a functioning adult, is a constant obstacle interfering with that.)

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known breeding bird, sits with her chick in a nest at the Midway Atoll animal refuge centre. The Laysan albatross, who is at least 68 years old and has raised at least 31 chicks, hatched her latest one this month at the remote atoll north-west of Hawaii, US
