27、rchers have long suspected that the massive creatures conserved energy by using rising air currents to surf the skies, nobody had ever documented how infrequently the birds used their wings afloat. Now, a new study has found that the incredibly energy-efficient condors use their wings just 1 percent

28、 of their time - mostly during takeoff and landing.The extensive research, conducted in Patagonia from 2013 to 2018, involved attaching high-tech flight recorders to the birds wings.
