OLDEST KNOWN BIRD, 62, Shocks Scientists, Hatches Healthy Chick!

Meet the oldest-known wild bird in the world, Wisdom, a 62-year-old Laysan albatross. Wisdom had already been stunning scientists for decades by living at least TWICE-AS-LONG as others in her species, but she just pulled-off a jaw-dropping feat that blew their collective minds wide open… Wisdom gave birth to a chick on February 3, on the Midway Islands between North America and Asia, somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean…

Wisdom, who has exhibited no signs of slowing down, flys an estimated 50,000 miles a year while raising about 35 baby birds during her life, most of this while at an age when most humans would be calling AARP or getting 10% off at Dennys..
