A 68-year-old albatross named Wisdom, known as the world's oldest living wild bird, has hatched another chick at her nesting ground in the US Pacific island territory Midway Atoll. Wisdom, along with millions of albatrosses, flies thousands of kilometres each year to return home and lay a single egg. Wisdom is estimated to have raised over 30 offsprings so far.
