Many ocean-dwelling birds make huge detours to avoid severe storms. But not the streaked shearwaters! A new study led by Professor Ken Yoda of Japan's Nagoya University asserts that the brave seabirds often fly right into the eye of the storm to survive.

                      That's so cool! It's like these birds have superpowers or something! I mean, to be able to just fly into a storm is pretty scary to think about! 11 years of analyzed data using trackers on over 401 shearwaters is a LONG time though. I guess it's just enough time needed to be able to make the final analysis on why these birds fly into storms! I did a little research and found that because of their configuration and the location of their feet on their body, no shearwater is ever truly able to move comfortably around on land! That sort of explains why they don't usually just sit on land during storms! Did you know that a study on Sooty Shearwaters found that they migrate in the range of 64,000 km in a single year, which gives them the longest migration ever recorded electronically of any animal on Earth? That's a really long flight! Anyways, I found this article really interesting! Me personally, I would stay inside my house and wait out the storm! 😅😅😅

                        Wow, that's a lot of neat facts! And I agree with you; I'd probably stay inside too! 😉
