【整理于网上信息】：南极洲的鸟类全部是海鸟，除不会飞的企鹅外，其他均为飞鸟。
南极地区海洋飞鸟的种类稀少，但数量却相当可观，南极地区的海鸟约占世界海鸟总数
的18％。因此，南极洲堪称为飞鸟天地。在此，特别介绍其中两种。
（1）飞鸟之王——信天翁（Albatross）
全球有21种信天翁，其中有5种生活在南极洲，分别是漫游信天翁(the wandering
albatross), 灰头信天翁(the grey-headed albatross),黑眉信天翁(the black-
browed albatross),乌黑信天翁(the sooty albatross),和浅烟灰信天翁（the light-
mantled albatross）。其中，漫游信天翁是南极地区最大的飞鸟，也是世界飞鸟之王
。它身披洁白色羽毛，尾端和翼尖带有黑色斑纹，躯体呈流线型，展翅飞翔时，翅端间
距可达3、4米。号称飞翔冠军的漫游信天翁，对日行千里，习以为常，连飞数日，毫不
倦怠，甚至绕极飞行，也锐气不减。漫游信天翁还是空中滑翔的能手，它可以连续几小
时不扇动翅膀，仅凭借气流的作用，一个劲地滑翔... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 13923 | 9 最近写稿子的时候，找有关海洋生态现状、污染等资料，看到有关太平洋垃圾带的信息。
不看不知道，一看吓一跳。
因为海洋环流的关系，全球的海洋垃圾都聚在一起，成为一个垃圾带。垃圾带有东和西
两个较为密集的垃圾圈，西面的在日本东南面，东面的在美国跟夏威夷之间。两个垃圾
圈统称“great pacific garbage patch”（大太平洋垃圾带）。
其中东面的垃圾圈较大，情况更为严重。很多垃圾已经化成微粒沉在水下，密密麻麻地
跟海洋融为一体。之前不少国家都有将垃圾扔在深海的习惯，他们认为海洋有一套神秘
的系统，能够将垃圾“消化”掉。海洋或者有这个净化功能，可是当污染速度超过净化
速度，海洋是无法消化掉。再加上人工化学合成品不同于生物，是很难很难完全消化掉。
更可怕的是垃圾对生物的威胁和损害。不少乌龟、鱼类、哺乳类动物，被垃圾困住，长
成畸形，肚子里塞满垃圾而死。
摄影师Chris Jordan一开始也不相信污染到了这个程度，到自己亲自去看过，才知道是
那么可怕。一个叫做中途岛（The Midway Island）上面的信天翁BB死后的尸体腐烂了
，露出肚里的垃圾（塑料袋、塑料瓶盖等等）。有... 阅读全帖 |
