Birds
Birds are a group of animals that have evolved from a family of dinosaurs. They are lightweight, have hollow bones and a body covered with feathers, which enables them to fly most of the time, even though some species are unable to do so. These animals lay eggs and have a keratin beak they use as buccal apparatus. There are more than 10,000 species on the planet and they can be found on every continent.
