A falcon is fitted with equipment as it flies from South Africa to Finland, and this image shows its journey from the satellite.
The bird flew this 15,000km route in 42 days, an average of 357km per day almost parallel.
If you look closely at his route on satellite, you will see that when he comes across a large body of water or sea, he changes course from there as if he wants to rest and find land.
Again, the desert of Egypt-Sudan was also bypassed so as to avoid being thirsty for lack of water.
Difficult mapping, routing, and altitude knowledge have been developed by scientists for ages, and it takes years for pilots to learn these things, who taught this little bird so much?
What's more interesting is that they don't spend even 1% of their energy while flying at high altitudes, they can travel hundreds of miles by just floating, sometimes even sleeping. How did this perfect technology come into their bodies?
