Altruism, Albatrosses, and Vicious Young Men

10,000 Birds

The oldest Laysan albatross was last seen raising a chick on Midway Atoll in 2016, at age 66. They emerged from their bloody rampage leaving fifteen adults dead, and fifteen destroyed nests with either smashed or missing eggs. Between the adults and their eggs, the three of them killed 32 live albatrosses.
