A Laysan Albatross named Wisdom has been nesting and raising chicks on the island of Midway for nearly 60 years. She was banded back in 1956 and was rediscovered, still alive and healthy, in 2002. Since that time, scientists have watched Wisdom closely. Every year, she has managed to navigate the many perils facing her species and successfully raise a new chick.

Wisdom, the world's oldest albatross, laid an egg at 74 years old. Each year, Wisdom returns to the same nesting site in Hawaii to reunite with her mate and lay one egg, if she's able to. This year, she proved age is just a number and laid an egg that wildlife experts are "optimistic" will hatch. Wisdom has produced 50-60 eggs – and as many as 30 chicks her lifetime, according to supervisory wildlife biologist at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge | The Uplift
