In animal world, there are some kinds of migration, related to the movement from a place to another place. This movement can be related to the change of climate and the needs of reproduction.
Meanwhile, talking about this migration, do you have any idea about what kinds of animals that do migration? Geese are among them. They travel South for winter, and then return to North, to their home at the summer.
Take a look on their flying pattern, the V-formation. You know, with this formation, each of the goose will make a certain force to another goose behind. This makes it easier for the goose behind to perforate on the air force, and saving more energy.
As the front goose get tired, it just have to turn behind the formation, and the geese from its behind will replace its previous position.
What a genius formation, don’t you think so?
