A duck’s webbed feet are specifically designed for swimming. They act as paddles, helping ducks swim fast and far, and because ducks don’t have any nerves or blood vessels in their feet, they can easily tolerate cold water. Ducks also have waterproof feathers that help keep them dry and insulate them from cold water. Can […]

Skimming permits the birds to take advantage of an aerodynamic phenomenon known as “ground effect.” The patterns of airflow around a wing that is operating close to a surface are modified by that surface in a manner that reduces drag, the resistance of the air to the progress of the wing. What does it mean […]
