Andean condors can fly more than 100 miles without flapping their wings once, researchers reveal – Armenian Reporter
The research, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, notes the birds, which can weigh more than 30 pounds, are extremely efficient at using their pre-flight and initial flapping when they first start flying. Once they reach the height they wish to, it’s relatively stress-free.
