Hummingbirds!

Apparently, hummingbirds birth mentos.

Inspired by the above picture of a hummingbird nest (seriously, SO TINY!), here are some fascinating hummingbird facts:

• They hover in mid-air by flapping their wings between 12 and 100 times a second.
• They have the ability to go into a state of hibernation (torpor) during times of food shortages and while they sleep, at which point their heart beats slow to just 1/15th of the normal rate.
• That's still fast, considering that their heart rate at rest is 250 beats per minute, and can reach rates of up to 1,260 beats per minute.
• They can fly at speeds of up to 34 mph.
• They are the only birds that can fly backwards.
• Some species of hummingbirds weight less than a penny at full maturity.
