Description

In this week’s episode, Steve, Sarah and Lizzie spread their wings to explore how animals took to the skies! 🪽✨


🦴 From hollow-boned birds to bugs that only sprout wings as adults, nature has engineered flight in some wild ways.


🦎 And in the forests of Southeast Asia, Draco lizards have mastered the art of gliding — proving you don’t need feathers to soar.


🌍 From feathers to flight, gliding to flapping — how did evolution lift life off the ground?
