Albatross

Despite their demanding ten year life at sea, albatrosses find time to engage in lifelong relationships and are thought to be one of the few pairs of animals that remain together until dying of old age. During breeding seasons males slap their beaks against other males and both sexes perform wing displays. Impressed females choose their partners according on the best displays. The female then lays a single egg, and spends almost a whole year with the hatched chick before it can fend for itself. Meanwhile the adults form a bond that continues even after the young has flown into a new independent life, binding the parents together forever.
