LONGEST ANIMAL Migration - Arctic Tern

- The Arctic Tern, the longest known migration known in the animal kingdom. It was long believed that arctic terns flew about 22,000 miles (35,200 km) on their journey from the Arctic region to Antarctica and back. Recent studies, however, revealed that the birds actually fly much farther. Tiny instruments called geolocators were attached to a number of birds. About the weight of a paper clip, these amazing devices revealed that some terns flew an average of 56,000 miles (90,000 km) on the round-trip-the longest animal migration known. One bird flew nearly 60,000 miles (96,000 km)! Why the revised estimates? No matter where they began their migration, the arctic terns flew an indirect route. As shown in the illustration, a common Atlantic Ocean route took an S shape. The reason? The birds simply take advantage of prevailing wind systems. During their lifetime of about 30 years, terns may travel well over 1.5 million miles (2.4 million km). That is equal to three or four round-trips to the moon! “This is a mind-boggling achievement for a bird of just over 100 grams [3.5 ounces],” said a researcher. What is more, because arctic terns experience the summers at both poles, they see “more daylight each year than any other creature,” states the book Life on Earth: A Natural History.

@@sathishar1980 Do a CZcams search for "Whose Line Arctic Tern"
after finishing the video background music is too much sound.
What sound does an Arctic Tern make?

@@Qwentar no, col, that’s wrong…
@@Kara_Kay_Eschel Well why don't you tell us what's right?
@@RinJackson I was thinking of an owl. You know they say the "who".
What a wondrous feat of nature! I can't help marvelling at this bird's incredible journeys. Thanks for sharing!
A few years ago up in alaska they had to burn almost a ton of confiscated pot but it was near a tern nesting site but they went through with it. Not a tern was left unstoned.
underrated
Oh that’s good

Wow😍
I once saw a bird with such a device attached, but this video gave me a good idea of what research is being done.
thanks

1) If this bird weighs only 100 GM's, then while flying , why aren't they blown away by the strong winds??
2) This bird weighs only 100 gms, then do they fly at higher heights or lower heights in the sky?
3) Do they fly along the land, to fly down and get down on the land, for some rest?
They'd probably take advantage of winds.
No word's 🙏
wow
While we sit here on our asses watching another streaming movie from NetFlix, this bird flies to the moon and back.
Maybe we can also make an airliner fly that far if we turn one into a flying gas tank

Y'all added the weight of a paper clip to birds that fly thousands of miles.
