This bird grows a tail so long it looks impossible to fly with.
The Long-tailed Widowbird lives in the grasslands of Africa, where males develop spectacular black tails that can be several times longer than their bodies. During breeding season, they float low over the grass, showing off these dramatic streamers to attract females.
A master of aerial display, yet one of the most extraordinary birds of the African savanna.
