The golden plover is another birds that is famous for its migration. Every year it migrates 4,000 km from Alaska to Hawaii.it flies continuously for 88 hours across the open sea without stopping. there are no island and the bird connot swim. a stop for a rest is impossible.
when scientists studied this bird, they calculated that the Golden Plover requires 88g of fat to complete this journey.
however, when the Golden Plover starts its journey it only has approximately 70g of fat as fuel.
the answer is BREATHTAKING.
Golden Plover birds arrange themselves by flying in a V shape as a flock. this way of flying lessons the resistance of air and saves the birds 23% of energy. 6-7 grams of additional fats remains when the birds land in Hawaii. The remaining are fats is reserved as backup fuel in case winds blow in a contrary direction.
