Today I'm starting the first, in what should be many, of a series of blogs about "Animal Superpowers".
While doing yard work earlier, I saw a some birds flying overhead and it made me think of superheroes. Weird segue huh? Let me explain.

With each blog in this series, I plan to discuss a different ability or extra sense that some animals possess.
So on to our first example of Animal Superpowers! |
