The world’s oldest known wild bird has laid an egg at the approximate age of 74, US biologists say.
Wisdom, a Laysan albatross, was filmed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at the Midway Atoll national wildlife refuge in the Pacific Ocean with her latest partner looking after the egg.
Members of the species usually only live for 12-40 years, but Wisdom was tagged in 1956 when she was about five.

Wow.
That is beautiful.
pervert
Have to wonder how that lay was at 74
Cloaca hang like sleeve of wizard.
LOL
That bird doesn’t look a day older than 10 years old.
Even the young’n she found is 15 years younger and they don’t look a year apart. Good for her!
Thirty years younger than her at least, you get it girl.
I guess it means oldest wild bird? Captive parrots can sometimes live beyond 100!
