Wisdom the albatross bird feeding her chick
The oldest known bird in the wild, a Laysan albatross named Wisdom – at least 65 years old – is a mother again at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, part of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. The chick was observed still coming out of its shell on February 1, 2016 and days later was named Kūkini, which is a Hawaiian word for messenger. Wisdom's mate was caring for the egg when it hatched and was caught on camera, bonding with the new chick. Credit: Kiah Walker/USFWS Volunteer. Original public domain image from Flickr
