28、 heaviest and largest flying birds. Spending their days circling the Andes mountains and nearby Pacific coasts in search of food，they manage to stay afloat (悬浮）for hours.Though researchers have long suspected that the massive creatures conserved energy by using rising air currents to surf the skies，
29、nobody had ever documented how infrequently the birds used their wings afloat. Now，a new study has found that the incredibly energy-efficient condors use their wings just 1 percent of their time - mostly during takeoff and landing.The extensive research, conducted in Patagonia from 2013 to 2018, inv

Hence, the researchers had to physically take back the devices, which were designed to fall off the birds after a week. While a GPS tracker allowed th

One efficient pilot managed to cover 172 kilometers over five hours without a single flap! The researchers say the large fliers consume the mo
