This is a video from the David Attenborough narrated Planet Earth II, highlighting the sword-billed hummingbird, a hummer that’s evolved a beak longer than its entire body to access nectar no other bird can. Now that is an impressive beak! Semi-related: did you know that in all the animal kingdom, barnacles have the longest penis-to-body-length ratio? Barnacle wangs can reach lengths up to 8X their bodies in order to still be able to reproduce despite being fixed to one place. That’s wild, and I suppose I have even more in common with them than I thought besides the sedentary lifestyle.
