From the Arctic Tern’s 90,000 km yearly chase of endless summer to the bar-tailed godwit’s 11,000 km nonstop Pacific crossing, and the northern weeder’s 18,000-mile transcontinental hop, plus the shearwaters’ vast 40,000-mile circuits, this episode dives into how these birds push the limits of endurance and master navigation. We explore the physiology that trims energy needs, the methods they use to find their way—stars, magnetism, and wind—and what human travel could learn from these remarkable oceanic and continental journeys. Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
