It's Incredible

[Roscoe]

Godwits fly 11000km across the Pacific from Alaska to Farewell Spit in 9 days. It is the longest non stop migratory journey of any bird in the world. 

An a380 jet is impressive but try to make a machine that weighs 300 grams - after fuelling for the trip 600 grams - that can fly to Alaska.
The miracle of nature

[Oh_hunnihunni]

One of the natural miracles I particularly like is the way some of our world's beetles look like jewels. I came across a book in the library that was just page after page of photographs of these wonders and had to get an Amazon copy for myself. Every now and then I pull it out just to page through it for the wow factor...

And Godwits probably wont lose their luggage or cancel their flight.

And Godwits probably wont lose their luggage or cancel their flight. 

Or throw a tantrum if they can't get a drink...
