How long do albatrosses live?

Answer 1

Albatrosses live to be 40-60 years old. [This would be the normal lifespan without accidental death]

Actually, An Particular Albatross is the longest Living Bird. Wisdom is 63 years old and has just raised another healthy chick, her 40th...Scientists believe because she is still able to breed if she isn't taken by a predator or illness she could live up to 5-6 more years. As Albatross typically live up to 5 years after they stop laying eggs.

She is a record holder, and the oldest living bird. She has outlived her peers by 10 years... So the Scientists are still counting the years to see how long it takes for her to stop being capable of breeding, if no un-forseeable events happen she will determine the max lifespan of the species.

She has survived the Tsunami in Japan and flown several million miles in her lifetime, the equivalence of flying to the moon and back twice!

She is an awesome animal and you can Google and read her story, The scientist who first tagged her in the 50's, "she was already breeding age." is 80. He is still checking in on his old friend. :) Maybe she will tell us how long birds can really live as so far its undetermined so to speak.

-Shes an exception to the rule and gained her name, "Wisdom" from surviving sharks, whales, predators, nets, tsunami, massive storms, ect...

Though albatross rarely take a new mate after their partner dies she has had 4, She outlived them all and is on her 40th chick :) Most of her chicks survived and she is considered a vital role player in repopulating the once threatened species. I love her story :) You should ready it! [Fun Facts by BentofishStudio] :) I hope this helps!
