πŸ¦… What is happening inside a Bald Eagle while it flies?

Birds have a highly specialized respiratory system that differs significantly from the mammalian system. Air sacs help ventilate the lungs and support continuous airflow through the respiratory system. (britannica.com)

In this Beyond Wild Media episode, we travel inside a Bald Eagle using cinematic 3D scientific visualization to reveal its trachea, lungs, air sacs and airflow.

Then we connect that hidden respiratory system to the physical demands of flight β€” showing how anatomy and movement work together.

πŸ¦… The next time you see an eagle soaring, remember what's happening beneath the feathers.

πŸ‘‡ Which Bald Eagle system should we reveal next in 3D?

00:01A bald eagle's lungs hide a breathing system built very differently from ours.
00:08Air moves through the lungs in a continuous flow, while air sacs drive the ventilation.
00:16This hidden system keeps the eagle supplied with air while its powerful wings carry it higher.
