Did You Watch ‘Big Birds Can’t Fly’? Tell Us What You Think!

SHARE

Big Birds Can’t Fly” features stunning photography of some of the world’s strangest birds–ratites. Not only have they lost the ability to fly, but based on new scientific evidence, it appears that flightlessness evolved independently amongst the various species.

  • What did you find most surprising about the ‘ratites‘, the group of birds comprised of ostriches, emus, rheas, kiwis and the like?
  • Which was your favorite scene? (Ours was the intense chase scene of the ostriches trying to evade the cheetahs, featured above.)
  • Was there something in the program that peaked your curiosity and you’d like to learn more about?

Let us know in the comments and thanks for watching!
