There are approximately 360 to 370 known species of hummingbirds in the world, belonging to the family Trochilidae. These birds are exclusively found in the Western Hemisphere, with the highest diversity located in South America.

Humming birds can fly backward and upside down, thanks to a unique shoulder joint that lets their wings move in a figure-eight pattern.

Heart Rate: Their hearts can beat over 1,200 times per minute when they're active. To save energy at night, they go into "torpor," a deep sleep where their heart rate drops to about 50 beats per minute so they don't starve to death while napping.

Weight: Some species weigh less than a penny. They are incredibly tiny but carry enough "brain power" to remember every single flower they’ve visited and how long it takes for that flower to refill with nectar.

The Tongue: It’s not a straw! It’s actually split at the end and fringed with tiny hairs. When it hits nectar, it zips in and out about 20 times per second, trapping the liquid with capillary action.
