It was a swallow....\n\n\nArthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land? \nSoldier #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? \nArthur: Not at all. They could be carried. \nSoldier #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut? \nArthur: It could grip it by the husk! \nSoldier #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. \nArthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here? \nSoldier #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? \nArthur: Please! \nSoldier #1: Am I right? \nArthur: I'm not interested! \nSoldier #2: It could be carried by an African swallow! \nSoldier #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point. \nSoldier #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that. \nArthur: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?! \nSoldier #1: But then of course a-- African swallows are non-migratory. \nSoldier #2: Oh, yeah... \nSoldier #1: So, they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway... \n[clop clop clop]\nSoldier #2: Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together? \nSoldier #1: No, they'd have to have it on a line. \nSoldier #2: Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper! \nSoldier #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers? \nSoldier #2: Well, why not?

Ostriches can't fly because they have tiny (vestigial) wings. Ostriches are large birds, and weigh quite a bit - and therefore would need HUGE wings in order to fly. We're talking a wingspan of over 30 feet! There is a point where the weight of the body and the need for longer/bigger wings is not advantageous for a species. The ostrich is way beyond that metaphorical cut-off point. \n\nI hope this helps!

ticks, but they are bugs. I do not know of any animals. But yes what was said above, and bed bugs. Lice, scabies, parasites, etc...

A roly-poly or pillbug!\n\nThey get their name from the fact that they roll up into a ball when predators are near or they feel threatened.\n\n:)

Flamingoes do indeed fly.  \n\nThere is a great classification system in biology that goes Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.  \nBoth Birds and Mammals belong to the Domain Eukarya, Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata (the vertebrate animals); but they do not belong to the same classes...\n\nFlamingoes belong to the Class Aves, the birds, which is characterized by toothless animals that are covered in modified scales known as feathers.  Aves also have special features such as hollow bones, fused vertebrae, a keeled sternum, and a modified collar bone known as a furcula.  Birds are warm blooded, just like mammals are believe it or not!  It is believed that birds may have descended from dinosaurs!  Dinosaurs are also thought to have been warm blooded.\n\nMammals belong to the class Mammalia, which is charactarized by animals that have hair, or fur, and mammary glands with which to feed their young with. Mammals develope their young internally in a placenta (mostly, except for marsupials). Birds lay an egg which contains a yolk used to feed their young during development.  After hatching, some species of birds continue to feed their chicks, and some species do not. There are two known mammals that lay eggs, they are called monotremes and include the duck billed playpus and the echidna.\n\nI hope this helps.

This isn't a bug but rather an arachnid.  If you notice it will have two body segments.  Insects have three body segments and only have 6 legs.  The bug you are talking about is  a mite.  They may be chiggers.  They bury themselves under your skin.  The best way to stop the itching is to kill it.  To do that place nail polish (I prefer clear because no one can see it.) over the "bite."  \n\nEverything that I saw suggest treating the area like you have lice.  Mites are parasites.  You need to treat the skin and use disinfectant on the area.  I would tell you boss you have to move!

I believe a mosquito eater is a fish.\n\nCORRECTION\n\nThere is a fish for controlling mosquitoes but:\n\nThe Crane Fly is often referred to as a "mosquito eater" or "mosquito-hawk". It looks like an overgrown mosquito some growing as large as 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Unfortunately they do not prey on mosquitoes.\n\nA picture can be seen at:\nhttp://www.sutter-yubamvcd.org/Mosq-like%20insects.htm

Guinea hens are often toted as tick eaters. Oxpeckers (those little birds you see perched on the back of rinos in the nature pics) are there partly to get ticks not that they won't eat flies too. I'd bet any insect eating bird and many other insect eating animals will happly add them to the menu without inquiring if they are insects or aracnids.

What are flys called when they lose their wings?\n\n\n\n"Walks"

Insects have 6 legs. Arachnids, which are sometime mistaken for insects, have 8 legs.\n\nAnts are insects. Some arachnids you might come across in your daily life are spiders and ticks.

The flying that they do in those movies is an exaggeration of the truth.  There is a type of training that used to be done called "light-body" training, that starts when you're very young, like 3-4 years old.  There are many things they do, but one of the main things they focused on was keeping the spinal column soft.\n\nMost land mammals can't jump out of the water, like fish do, mostly because the spine has become hard/rigid.  At the same time some snakes can strike more than half they body length, because of their flexible body and a firm base.\n\nWhen people with this training would jump, they would "spring" with their legs and their spine giving them 2-3 times the height and 3-4 times the distance of the people without the training, that could only jump with their legs.\n\nEven doing this, couldn't make you "fly".  But, not unlike some monkeys and flying squirrels, if you simply bound, glide, and jump from point to point, through the woods/forest/jungle, going from object to object, it does give the appearance of "flying".  \n\nAnd YES, of course this could be done, very easily, through the city, running across roof tops, jumping an occasional alley way, and scaling larger buildings to "fly" from. \n\nBut, what goes up, most come down too.  Long story short, like Buzz Lightyear said "It's not flying, it's falling with style"

They're not that heavy. And if it breaks, they fly away.
