Good afternoon lovelies! Sorry for the hiatus but I'm back and better than ever! Today's bird is considered to be the largest flying bird in the world! The Pelagornis Sandersi is an extinct bird that lived around 30 million years ago!
🐤 Red Knots migrate an incredible 15,000 kilometres each way along the East Atlantic coast of Africa from their Arctic breeding site to their wintering habitat in South Africa!
😋 They eat molluscs, swallowing the shells whole and crushing them up in their stomach.
