The Dhaka Times Desk Really surprising. Because we know that birds flap their wings when they fly. But this bird called the Andean condor is able to fly about 100 miles without flapping its wings!
A study shows that the bird can float in the air for hours without flapping its wings. Andean condor or Andean condor is a bird of the vulture family. The scientific name of this bird is Vulture Gryphus. They are members of the family Carthatidae and also the only members of the Vulture family.
These birds are found along the Andes Mountains and the adjacent Pacific coast of South America. They are considered the largest flying birds in the world in terms of weight and wingspan.
The weight of this pathi is 15 kg and the maximum length of their wings is 10 feet 10 inches. Recently, a group of scientists from Swansea University in Britain started researching 8 birds in Patagonia, South America.
For the study, recording devices were strapped to the birds' backs. They spent only 1 percent of their flight time flapping their wings.
Professor Emily Shepherd, a biologist at Swansea University, told the media, "We knew that condors are like skilled pilots when it comes to flight. But after strapping the recording device on their back, we were even more surprised. How can a bird fly without flapping its wings for a long time!
