CREDIT : Knud Falk Before they have the wing span to actually permitthem to fly, young guillemots (also known asmurres) leap hundreds of metres off toweringcliffs and flutter down towards the sea, guided bytheir fathers. Scientists have long wondered whythese tiny chicks make this remarkable leap,hoping to avoid the rocks below them, in whatseems an unlikely survival strategy for a species.Research team included Kyle Elliott (NRS) aswell as researchers from Memorial University andAarhus and Lund Universities.
