Why the ability to have a useful to a hummingbird? |
Answer» Since the wings BEAT more than 20 times per second (sometimes as rapidly as 80 beats per second), inertia holds the BIRD's body essentially stationary. This system makes HUMMINGBIRDS extremely maneuverable and PERMITS them to hover while they extract nectar from flowers that might otherwise be INACCESSIBLE. |
