Survival! The oldest bird in the world had survived plastic pollution, longline fishing, and lead poisoning. But in 2011, she faced one of her hardest challenges: the Japanese tsunami.
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake struck off the shore of Japan sending a tsunami wave west to overrun Tōhoku, Japan. It killed thousands and destroyed a nuclear plant. But it also sent a tsunami wave east toward Midway Island.
Scientists knew the tsunami was coming, so they sheltered on the third story of an old army barracks building. The tsunami hit the island about midnight. The scientists said the scariest thing was that they could hear the water crashing ashore, but they couldn’t see anything.
Would the wildlife survive this natural disaster?
Biographies of individual animals, including a bird, mammal, spider, amphibian, reptile, marine mammal, and mollusk.
