Among the greats. ✨

Bruno Fernandes goes level with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne for the most assists in a Premier League season.

A single bird has just accomplished one of the most extraordinary feats in the animal kingdom — flying nearly one-third of the way around the Earth without stopping to eat, drink, or rest.

The record-breaker is a five-month-old Bar-tailed Godwit that flew nonstop from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia. Covering 8,425 miles in just over 11 days, it set a new record for the longest nonstop flight ever documented in any bird.

What makes this journey even more astonishing is that it was the young godwit’s very first migration. The entire route took place over the open Pacific Ocean, with no chance to land. Despite that, the bird navigated thousands of miles of featureless water with pinpoint accuracy.

This incredible endurance is made possible by remarkable physiological adaptations. Before takeoff, the godwit packs on enormous fat reserves — nearly half its body weight — to fuel the flight. At the same time, many of its internal organs, including parts of the digestive system, temporarily shrink to lighten the load and maximize energy efficiency.

Unlike many seabirds that depend heavily on gliding, this godwit flapped continuously for the entire journey, battling shifting winds and weather systems the whole way.

Researchers at the Pūkōroro Auckland Shorebird Centre say discoveries like this are transforming our understanding of migratory birds. Their astonishing endurance, navigation skills, and energy management demonstrate biological capabilities that can match — and in some ways surpass — even the most advanced human engineering.

Still making a mess beyond the limits of oxygen 😑

[Everest Today @EverestToday]

Disheartening to see the accumulation of garbage at Camp IV on Mt #Everest (8848.86 m), where human life mostly depends on supplementary oxygen, the mountain itself is being left to suffocate beneath our waste.

The garbage accumulating at the highest camps reflects a deeper failure of responsibility. In our race for higher summits, we are neglecting our duty to the very mountain that carries our ambitions.

This cannot continue.

Protecting Sagarmatha is not optional—it is an obligation. To nature. To future generations. To the values we claim to uphold.

It’s time to demand stricter regulations, enforce clean climbing practices, and commit to real waste management on Everest.

Because the world’s highest mountain deserves more than our silence.
