Notes

Description
World records book of animal flight. Meet ten flyers through a series of superlatives - and guess who's who while learning about airborne animals. From the fastest (white-throated needletail) to the most acrobatic (flying fox bat), and from the best glider (colugo) to the best backward flyer (hummingbird), each master of flight is depicted in a blueprint-inspired diagram, accompanied by text.
