When it is cold out, the hummingbird will enter a state similar to hibernation.
Torpor is a deep sleep in which their metabolic rate drops as much as 95%.
A torpid hummingbird maintains a hypothermic threshold that is close to death.
It can take a hummingbird anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to wake up when they are in this state.
These little wonders also fly in a unique manner.
Not only can flap their wings up to 50 times per second, they also don’t even land to eat, but rather, hover over their food source.
They are much tangguher than they look, with 25 to 30% of a hummingbird’s weight being due to their pectoral muscles.
As impressive as their wing speed is, their heart rate is even faster!
That tiny bird’s heart can beat up to 1260 beats per minute!
Consequently, relative to body size, this is the most beats per minute found in nature.
Their survival depends on them remaining in a constant state of motion.
So, be like the hummingbird and tap into your innate strengths.
Keep going and stay in motion. Take a nice long nap when you need recharging, and bring joy wherever you go!
