When night falls, hummingbirds face the challenge of survival. By entering torpor, they slow their bodies almost to stillness, conserving precious energy until dawn. Fun fact: In torpor, a hummingbird’s heart rate can drop from 1,200 beats per minute to fewer than 50. #unwind #animalwelfare #happyvibes #EveTechTales #HailuoAI | Evetechtales

The Fiery-Throated hummingbird is endemic to the mountains of Costa Rica and Panama and uses the adaptation of torpor at night to survive in its cool montane habitats. (via Untamed) | National Geographic TV
