Turn over waves.
Hewan di sini menunjukkan kualitas yang serupa melalui perilakunya di alam. Setiap spesies tetap punya prinsip, pelajaran, makna, dan halaman field guide sendiri.
10 spesies
Prinsip spesies: Ocean Handling
Turn over waves.
Far travel belongs to the one that can turn lightly over rough water.
Black-browed Albatrosses use long narrow wings and dynamic soaring to travel over Southern Ocean winds and waves while foraging across large distances.
Prinsip spesies: Wind Endurance
Let the ocean carry.
Distance belongs to the one who lets the wind do part of the work.
Black-footed Albatrosses use long narrow wings and dynamic soaring over ocean winds to travel great distances with low energy cost.
Prinsip spesies: In-Between Design
Glide between forms.
Hybrid forms can work beautifully when they fit the edge between worlds.
Bowmouth Guitarfish have bodies combining ray-like and shark-like traits, gliding near sandy seafloors while feeding on bottom-dwelling prey.
Prinsip spesies: Riverbed Power
Stay low and wide.
Power does not always rise. Sometimes it spreads low and becomes part of the riverbed.
Giant Freshwater Stingrays have enormous flattened bodies that help them rest, hide, and glide along muddy river bottoms while using electroreception and stealth to locate food.
Prinsip spesies: Falling Flight
Turn falling into flying.
The right design can turn a fall into a crossing.
Greater Gliders use a membrane of skin between limbs to glide from tree to tree, moving through forest canopy without true powered flight.
Prinsip spesies: Open Grace
Glide wide.
Great width can move gently when it trusts the water.
Manta Rays are large filter-feeding rays that glide through ocean water with wing-like pectoral fins and use cephalic lobes to help guide plankton-rich water into the mouth.
Prinsip spesies: Wind Trust
Trust the wind.
Go farther by giving your weight to the force already moving.
Northern Fulmars use stiff-winged gliding and dynamic soaring over ocean winds, traveling long distances above cold seas with efficient flight.
Prinsip spesies: Shape Shift
Flatten, then fly.
Change shape when the old path costs too much.
Paradise flying snakes flatten their bodies into an airfoil-like shape to glide between trees.
Prinsip spesies: Glide
Stretch into flight.
A path appears when the body learns to stretch between what is separate.
Sunda Flying Lemurs, or colugos, use a large gliding membrane stretching between limbs, body, and tail to glide efficiently between trees.
Prinsip spesies: Parachute
Open the fall.
The fall becomes a path when the body learns to open.
Wallace’s Flying Frogs have large webbed feet and skin flaps that help them glide or parachute between trees in rainforest canopies.
