Some birds can make epic cross-ocean, cross-mountain, cross-open-sky voyages, and their super-sized wings look as if they don't exist! They don't only wing to beautify but they also let them survive by using their wings to glide for hours and hours with hardly any effort. They are large birds, which are sometimes able to harness low-level wind currents and thermal updrafts and can soar on air currents rather than flapping constantly. They can be found on the coastal cliffs as well as in high mountain ranges, some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Insights into the design of efficiency, endurance and strength in nature can be gained through understanding of these amazing species. They are also excellent invertebrate ecosystem indicators due to their large wingspan in particular, marine and mountain environments.
