Do albatrosses have predators?
Adult Laysan albatrosses have no natural predators, but invasive cats and dogs kill both juveniles and adults in nesting colonies. Historically, hunting reduced population size in some places, and accidental capture in fisheries targeting pelagic squids and fishes continues to threaten these birds.
