Hummingbird
Tiny birds with wing beats so fast they defy the limits of energy use
12 days ago
0
What evolutionary adaptation allows hummingbirds to hover and feed on nectar efficiently, and what trade-off does this adaptation impose?
Their large size allows them to store more energy, reducing the need for frequent feeding.
They can hover because they have slower wing beats, conserving energy during feeding.
Their figure-eight wing flapping enables hovering but requires extremely high energy consumption.

0
How has the prairie falcon adapted its hunting strategy to survive in arid environments compared to the peregrine falcon?

By developing an opportunistic diet and hunting a wider range of prey sizes, including mammals and reptiles, to cope with low prey density.
By migrating frequently to areas with higher prey density instead of adapting its hunting strategy.
