Shimmering in the sunlight, hummingbirds dart from flower to flower among the tall rainforest treetops, drinking nectar.
These tiny birds survive by using tremendous amounts of energy. They burn energy swo fast that they have to feed every 10 to 15 minutes when they are active. And when they wake up after a night's sleep, they are often near starvation.
A man who burned as much energy as a hummingbird does would have to eat 370 pounds of potatoes a day, just to keep going.
