Which bird lays only one egg in two years?

Vulture
-
Albatross
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Albatrosses are known for laying only one egg every two years, which is part of their extremely slow reproductive strategy. Both parents invest heavily in raising the single chick for nearly a year before it fledges. This low reproduction rate makes albatrosses very vulnerable to population declines when adult mortality increases from threats like longline fishing, pollution, and climate change.
