Posted by admin Filed Under hummingbird with No Comments
The University of California, Berkeley has just realeased slow motion video footage showing how hummingbirds deal with water when they are flying.
It was unknown how out small friends manage to hover when it is raining, but slow-motion footage reveals the hummingbirds shake their heads to remove the water.
Now, it may not seem a big deal for them to “shake their heads”, but the video study shows that the hummiongbirds do this with incredible speed. So much speed, in fact, that they generate upto 34g in acceleration forces when they do this.
Absolutely amazing!
The BBC has posted the full details and video footage of the hummingbird at theit site. You can follow the link below to take a look.
