KAO što smo jučer pisali albatrose se smatra najromantičnijim pticama na svijetu, čiji ritual udvaranja ponekad traje 8 tjedana.
Rezultat jednog takvog udvaranja je i preslatka beba albatrosa koja je nedavno došla na svijet, a izlegla ga je ženka albatrosa za koju stručnjaci misle kako ima najmanje 65 godina i najstarija je divlja ptica na svijetu.
Wisdom and Kukini - February 2016Wisdom has returned to her chick, Kūkini! When Wisdom's chick hatched, she was out at sea foraging for food while her mate cared for their egg. When Wisdom returned, her mate headed out to sea and one of the first things Wisdom did was make sure little Kūkini got something to eat. Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Wildlife Refuge is home to millions of seabirds who raise their families and find respite from their time traveling the ocean, searching for food. The tiny atoll and islands protected as a Refuge help ensure a future for these beautiful birds.
