Makana the Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis)

How fascinating! I have never seen an albatross used as an ambassador animal. What is the story behind this animal and how long has it been at the aquarium?

@UngulateNerd92 She came to the aquarium as an unreleasable bird in 2006 after being permanently injured in the wing when she was four months old.

@Ding Lingwei ah very interesting. Where was she found?

@UngulateNerd92 In Kauai.

@Ding Lingwei ah very interesting. Why did they decide to send him to the Monterey Bay Aquarium as opposed to a Hawaiian facility?
