The 64-year-old Laysan albatross returned to the nest in Hawaii, USA, after nearly a year to prepare to give birth to the 37th child.

According to the USFWS, the Wisdom albatross is seen at Midway Atoll, a remote island near Hawaii on November 19. Scientists wore bandages for Wisdom in 1956 when it incubated an egg at 5 years old. The present age of the bird is 64 or greater.

Wisdom was discovered along with mates in the world's largest nesting place of albatross in the Midway Atoll wildlife sanctuary. The sanctuary is home to 70% of the world's Laysan albatrosses, and is the largest shelter with many species of seagulls, according to IB Times.

The authorities hope Wisdom will quickly return to spawn after pairing. Wisdom is the hope for shrinking seagulls. The bird has raised 36 young birds and the latest egg will produce its 37th baby.

"Although Laysan seagulls often pair with a life partner, Wisdom certainly has more than one sexual partner and feeds up to 36 young children. Having only one egg every year, a couple of albatross spend about 6 months Raising and feeding for young birds, ' said USFWS representative.

"In the situation of the number of miniature seagulls around the world - a 70% reduction since the 1950s - Wisdom has become a symbol of hope and inspiration," Dan Clark, protected area manager Midway Atoll, share.

Wisdom of Laysan albatross , Wisdom has white head, neck, and abdomen while its back and upper part are black. The bird has dark irises, pink legs and toes. It eats creatures that live near the surface of the sea, including squid, fish, crustaceans and roe. This feeding habit is quite dangerous for young animals because they are easy to mistake the types of marine trash like plastic.

"When not caring for young children, albatrosses eat hundreds of kilometers offshore and periodically fly back to meals like squid or roe. Wisdom's cruising time corresponds to nearly 9.7 million kilometers. " , USFWS representative said.
