It is one for the records books. A 62 year old albatross has just hatched out a new chick, one in a long line of chicks. Wisdom the Albatross was first banded in 1956.
I am sure they never thought she would live this long. The Scientist who banded her is 94 years old.

Clearly there is more to birds than we thought. She has been flying from pole to pole and hatching chicks for more than half a century. Her name is Wisdom and I think it is a good choice.
I wish her many more years.
