The Andean Condor can fly for more than 5 hours and travel 170 km without flapping. It only flaps 1% of the time (Source: Institute for Research on Biodiversity and Environment INIBIOMA, CONICET-UNCOMA, and Swansea University, United Kingdom, Document). It glides in air currents, being able to reach more than 8000 m in height. When gliding, it keeps the wings spread horizontally and the primaries separated like fingers. It can move at speeds of up to 50 km/h. solitary or in groups.
