In this episode, we’re soaring into the incredible world of birds, from their dinosaur ancestors to the incredible evolution of feathers and flight. Learn about how their skeleton and muscles are adapted for flying, how they cope with its energetic demands, how they've colonised pretty much every habitat on Earth, and so much more! As always, we’ll finish with some amazing bird highlights: vultures cleaning up the mess, hummingbirds defying physics, scary cassowaries, and the fastest animal on the planet - the peregrine falcon. Tune in to be amazed by the biology and brilliance of our feathered friends!
