The albatross named Wisdom at the age of 70 had a brand new chick in 2021!
Albatross don’t typically lay eggs every year and when they do, they lay only a single egg. Biologists estimate that Wisdom has hatched at least 30–36 chicks in her lifetime. In fact, in 2018, biologists observed the chick that she fledged in 2011 returning to the spot just a few feet away from her current nest.
