Description

TWO TYPES OF ANIMAL FLIGHT Aerial animals are animals that are able to fly by their own means. They are mostly birds or insects and are characterized by the presence of wings or feathers, although not all of them have this characteristic. They are all oviparous animals, that is, they lay eggs. Their habitat is not necessarily the air; they can live in the sea or on land. There are two distinct groups: birds and insects.

what are the types of aerial animals?

Birds They are small, vertebrate, warm-blooded, bipedal animals with the ability to fly, hop and sometimes walk. Their hind legs are very variable, although all species have claw-shaped feet and can have 2 to 4 distinct parts. Instead of front legs they have wings, which is their main characteristic, and although all of them use them to fly, not all birds can do it and therefore we will not consider them as aerial animals, like the penguin or the ostrich. Their body is like that of other kinds of animals, with the characteristic of being covered with feathers instead of hair. Feathers provide birds with protection against wind, humidity, and sun. They control body temperature. They are light, which allows them to fly.

Insects Los insectos son animales invertebrados, es decir, que carecen de columna vertebral. Por el contrario, tienen un exoesqueleto que recubre su cuerpo. Su fisionomía está compuesta, en el mayor de los casos por dos antenas, alas y 3 pares de patas. Existen más de un millón de especies registradas y se dice que 30 millones de especies sin registrar. Como pasa con las aves, no son animales estrictamente aéreos, estos animales tienen una capacidad súper desarrollada para adaptarse a cualquier clase de hábitat. Son capaces de detectar peligro y esconderse rápidamente gracias a sus antenas, que son su órgano más importante ya que con ellas huelen, tocan y oyen, en cualquier situación (Ya sea de riesgo, apareamiento o para ubicarse).

Conclusion: Aerial animals are divided according to the type of locomotion they perform and there are two types, motorized and non-motorized. The motorized ones are those in which the animal executes its strength and muscles to create the aerodynamics necessary to fly. On the contrary, the locomotion without motor lacks strength and the way of flying is based on the capacity of some animals to help themselves with the wind creating the aerodynamic force, the wind drags them and they use their wings to go in the direction they want to move but it does not allow them to control the speed or the altitude, Therefore, their flight is always descending and they limit their feeding, so many of them are not hunters and eat fruits or seeds that fall from the trees, while the motorized ones eat the fruits of the highest plants and can hunt, providing them with a more varied diet....
