Bee Hummingbird |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Only 5 cm (2 in) long and weighing less than 1 gram (less than 0.04 ounces), this tiny bird is native to Cuba. The bee hummingbird beats its wings 80 times per second, faster than the eye can see. Its ability to pivot its wings allows it to stop, hover in midair, and fly backward. | ||||||
