On Earth, although the biological population is very large, all living things cannot get rid of the road of "death", as long as there is birth, there will be death. Even if it is what we call the "millennium turtle", it cannot escape death. So the process of life and death is something that life on Earth will definitely go through. However, with the change of the ecosystem, the life span of organisms as a whole is relatively large by external factors, but some biological populations are also undergoing "reversal" and living longer, although this situation is small, it does exist.
In science, there is a bird called "the oldest wild bird in the world", that is, the "wisdom" albatross, which can be said to have performed miracles, not only in terms of longevity, but also in being a mother.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the world's oldest bird, a 70-year-old albatross or another mother</h1>
In fact, the news about it is not the first time, because it is the world's oldest wild bird creature, so it has attracted a lot of attention, this world's highest birthing age albatross is called "wisdom", is a Kind of Laysan albatross, in fact, in the scientific definition is a black-backed albatross. The life span of the black-backed albatross is quite long, the average can survive 30 years, much longer than the average albatross, in addition to it, that is, the life of the black-footed albatross is slightly longer, generally in 40-60 years.
But this Laysan albatross did wonders, having bred at least 40 generations of baby albatrosses since it was first discovered in 1956, and in 2006, scientists estimated that she might have bred 30 to 35 offspring in her lifetime, but by 2021, scientists could have determined that it had at least 35 offspring. When it turns 70 in 2021, it may become a mother again in late November and breed a new albatross, so it is very strong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > What's different about Laysan albatross? </h1>
Indeed, this albatross called "Wisdom" is really a little different, according to scientists, at the age of 68, it became the oldest known breeding bird in the world, and now its survival can only mean that it is even older. At the same time, according to scientific estimates, this albatross called "wisdom" may have been sexually matured by the age of 5, so it belongs to the "precocious" albatross type. Scientists think it may be in 2021, that is, this year may be a mother again, depending on the situation in late November this year.
Because last month, 1,300 miles northwest of Hawaii in the central North Pacific, its offspring were found hatching at Midway Atoll, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) said that these offspring have been with the "wisdom" albatross since 2010, so it is estimated that the oldest albatross will return to the wildlife sanctuary in late November and may become a mother again and raise a new offspring. This was very surprising to the scientists.
When Laysan albatrosses roam the wild waters of the North Pacific, about 90% of their lifetime is spent in the air or at sea. But because the living environment has been in crisis, so today's survival is still more difficult, which is why scientists want to establish a protected area, usually albatross does not lay eggs every year, so many people see the above, 5 years old to mature, which is not only determined 35 generations, this is the reason, not every year will raise offspring, and many times can not track the movement trajectory of Laysan albatross.

In fact, this is not known, we also said above, it is already the oldest albatross, how long it will live is not known, and now it is also facing storms, tsunamis and sharks' natural predation, climate crisis, plastic pollution and other waste deterioration exacerbated by the impact. It may bring great disasters to its living environment, so this is why it will be 70 years old in 2021 and may produce a new offspring, mainly because it cannot be determined.
The Layersan albatross itself has already crossed the life limits of the species, and scientists continue to observe the movement of intelligence, but there is no way to grasp it one hundred percent, the albatross flies in the ocean most of the time, and they even stay in flight for three to five years, never touching land. So scientists think they're sleeping even when they're flying over the ocean, so it's a very amazing species.
But we still hope that the "oldest known wild bird in the world", the Laysan albatross, will continue to maintain and raise more offspring. After all, nature may not be perfect without it, and why this albatross is so powerful is now a mystery for scientists. Albatrosses usually stay with their partners for life from beginning to end, but if one dies, they will find a new partner, and wisdom will live longer than many of her partners, so this is where it is strongest.
