In the newest update to the saga of David Attenborough-narrated documentaries about nature, an episode of Frozen Planet II featured a courtship of two male albatrosses.

Albatrosses—large ocean going birds with a wingspan that can reach 12 feet—are colonial, nesting mostly on remote oceanic islands with several species all nesting together. Pair bonds form over several years with the use of "ritualised dances" and last for the life of the bonded pair.

President Donald Trump has said he accepts the results and even acknowledged that his widely unpopular war in Iran played a significant role in pushing Americans to vote for Democrats. Affordability concerns, chief among them the price of gas, also contributed to the backlash Republicans experienced at the voting booth.
