In Response To: They're more efficient (scarab)

: The one way airflow through the parabronchi let's them extract more oxygen
: from the air. They can perform intense exercise in low air pressure where
: most mammals (except bats) would fall unconscious.

: The bar-headed goose can fly from sea level to thousands of feet above
: Everest and over to the other side in a single day.
