Molecular Structure Forclf2

great!


To those who say science has seen it all, here's proof that there is an underworld to discover to our senses . There, in the jungles of Central America, a small bird called the red-crested manakin (Pipra mentalis ). Recently, the animal has earned the nickname of Bird Moonwalking because an amazing video, filmed cameras capable of capturing and slow motion to high speed, discovered that their mating ritual is a dance that makes Michael embarrass himself Jackson.

A 1.000 frames per second, the chambers of the Nature program, led by biologist Kim Bostwick, saw what they are unable to capture the human eye: the bird's mating rituals of the world more sympathetic.

Watch the 3 minute video in its entirety. Bostwick explains that the bird produces noise does not make the beak or throat, but with the tips of the wings, which collide with each other 80 times per second (faster than a hummingbird). And then, the bird is delivered to your Moonwalking dance with all the abandon of a rock star.

What else great finish to discover in the rainforest?
