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.

Holy shit.

That is devastating.

Un-fucking-believable.

Just moments after voting to cut $2 TRILLION of services including from Medicare and Medicaid - and coverage for Alzheimer’s medication - House Republicans closed by praying in a moment of silence. Never forget.

كان المصور سكوت يقوم بتصوير شاطى سيبرايت في كاليفورنيا عندما لاحظ رأس شخص يظهر ويختفي وسط الامواج العنيفة فسارع الى ابلاغ احد المنقذين

اتضح انه صبي بعمر 10 سنوات كان يركب الامواج على اللوح، قام المنقذ بالامساك به على الرغم من قوة وشدة الامواج الا انه تشبث به بقوه حاول البعض مساعدته لكن الامواج اسقطتهم فتراجعوا من الخوف لكن المنقذ استمر حتى انقذ الصبي

الاكثر اثارة في الموضوع ان المنقذ كان في موسمه الاول فقط من العمل

#BREAKING: Sen Tammy Duckworth: “If you have a different name on your birth certificate than is on your drivers license, you CANNOT vote, and so for the 69 MILLION American WOMEN who took their husband’s names, you cannot vote. That birth certificate is not valid. By the way, military IDs will not be valid for you to be able to vote, neither will your REAL ID…So you have to go in with a passport that matches your current ID, and you know how hard it is to get a passport? Number one, it’s expensive and number two, theres such a backlog in the State Department, some people are waiting 3-6 months to get a passport. And so, think about the 69 million American women who married and took their husband’s name, you can no longer vote under the #SAVEAct…and in order to have housing for young people who…don’t see home ownership as being something that they can achieve, he’s going to hold women who are married and took their husband’s name hostage.” 🤦‍���️

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

توفير الماء والغذاء في الحديقة
- يجذب أنواع أكثر من الطيور
- يدعم الطويرقي الحر الشديد أو قلة الغذاء الطبيعي.
- تعزيز بقاء الطيور بشكل دائم،وليس زيارات مؤقتة.
- زيادة فعالية المكافحة الحيوية: الطيور تتغذى على الحشرات
- زيادة التكاثر الطبيعي للطيور

The Trump administration has announced it plans to dismantle the US Forest Service.

All 10 regional offices are set to close in addition to over 50 research labs.

💪 This is Jeff Dabe — a 62-year-old farmer who’s better known in the arm-wrestling community as the man with the world’s largest arms.

His hands are legitimately enormous — he wears a size 30 ring (the largest ever recorded in that context) and his forearms measure around 19–20 inches.

Watch this absolute beast go head-to-head with progressively tougher “unbendable” spring resistance bars — starting at 45 lbs of force all the way up to 220 lbs.

You can see every bit of that raw power as he bends the easier ones like they’re nothing. When he hits the hardest bar, he’s straining, but he gets the job done… and the guy watching is just as shocked as we are 😂

It’s one of those “how is this even human?” moments that makes you stop scrolling.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.

If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.

Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.
