The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive. The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight. In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated (模拟的 ) flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds’ bodies so that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight. 1.A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh________before making its non-stop migrating flight.
