The belly feathers of the male desert sandgrouse can absorb and carry water. Researchers have, for the first time, closely examined the unique structure of these feathers to see how they do it and whether the process might be adapted for human use.
Microscopic structures of belly feathers in Namaqua sandgrouse enable them to absorb and retain water with high efficiency, an MIT study finds. Males can fly more than 20 km from a watering hole to their nests holding water for chicks to drink.
