The bird with the largest wingspan in the world is the wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans), with a wingspan that can reach up to about 3.7 meters (12 feet 2 inches). This species holds the record for the largest wingspan of any living bird, enabling it to glide long distances over oceans efficiently.
Other large birds with notable wingspans include the great white pelican (up to 3.6 meters) and the Andean condor (up to 3.3 meters), but none surpass the wandering albatross.
