All Hummingbirds Explained In 10 Minutes

There are 366 species of hummingbirds. One weighs less than a dime. One has a beak longer than its entire body. One attacks Golden Eagles and wins. One comes back from the dead every morning. All hummingbirds. Explained. From the Bee Hummingbird — the smallest bird on Earth, lighter than a US dime, confined to a single island in Cuba — to the Sword-billed Hummingbird, the only bird whose beak is longer than its body, locked in an evolutionary arms race with a single passionflower for millions of years. From the Anna's Hummingbird, whose heart drops from 1,200 beats per minute to 50 every night as it enters a state so close to death it cannot be woken by touch — to the Marvelous Spatuletail, a bird found only in one river valley in Peru, with fewer than 1,000 individuals left, whose tail feathers end in iridescent discs it controls independently during courtship. 366 species. 12 covered here.
