Wisdom the Laysan Albatross

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, a Laysan Albatross went dancing with a new boyfriend after her long-time mate went missing. She’s now a mother at the ripe young age of seventy four, laying her nth egg in Hawaaii’s Midway Atoll!

Wisdom earlier featured in a series of cartoons I created on bird moms, for Birdlife International here.

Laysan albatrosses are near-threatened on IUCN. Here’s an illustrated poster on the albatrosses of the world.
