LONG, PEACEFUL LIVES

The Boobies are large seabirds who generally live up to 17 years due to the lack of predators in their natural habitat.

Males reach sexual maturity when they are about two to six years of age, while females reach sexual maturity when they are about one to six years old.

According to a 2022 article from American Oceans, they mate all year round and are monogamous once they find a mate.
