From the elegant gliding of the albatross to the record-breaking speed of the peregrine falcon and the astonishing agility of the hummingbird, these birds have evolved extraordinary adaptations that allow them to navigate the skies with ease. They break down how feathers, wings, and body shape have evolved to create these flying pros. Plus, Katy and Laura tackle fun hypotheticals—like what happens when you drop an elephant from a plane! Whether you're a nature enthusiast or a physics fan, this episode is sure to soar to the top of your playlist.
