57、 surface features.After losing seven recorders for every one they took back,the team shifted their focus to younger condors, who tend to fly over gently rolling hills rather than the mountain tops frequented by adults. The 250 hours of collected flight data revealed that the birds flew for an average of three hours but flapped(拍打）their wings for less than two minutes of the time.One efficient pilot managed to cover 172 kilometers over five hours without a single flap! The researchers say the large fliers consume the most energy during takeoff. However, once
