I would've never even imagined they are that light. I guess they gotta be light to flap their wings so slowly and achieve flight, incredible.
I told it to my niece and nephew and asked them to guess the weight. They didn't think it would weigh less than 30kgs. It sure intrigued my nephew.
Nice to hear that they flap their wings slowly. Makes sense then.
I was also surprised to see it jumping several meters from tree to tree instead of flying.
