Why can't some birds fly? - Gillian Gibb (2018x102)

Data de estreia: Out 18, 2018

Flight can have incredible benefits, especially for escaping predators, hunting and traveling long distances. But it also has high costs: consuming huge amounts of energy and limiting body size and weight. Gillian Gibb explores what makes birds give up the power of flight.
