A bird strike was recorded at this height in 1973. Common crane: Grus grus: Gruidae: 10,000 metres (33,000 feet) This height was recorded above the Himalayas. [2] This great height allows them to avoid eagles in mountain passes. [2] Bar-headed goose: Anser indicus: Anatidae: 8,800 metres (29,000 feet) [2] [4] [5]
Below are two tables which report the average adult human height by country or geographical region. With regard to the first table , original studies and sources should be consulted for details on methodology and the exact populations measured, surveyed, or considered.
The average height of 19-year-old Dutch orphans in 1865 was 160 cm (5 ft 3 in). [77] From 1830 to 1857, the average height of a Dutch person decreased, even while Dutch real GNP per capita was growing at an average rate of more than 0.5% per year. The worst decline was in urban areas that in 1847, the urban height penalty was 2.5 cm (1.0 in).
Measuring the culmen. The upper margin of the beak or bill is referred to as the culmen.The measurement is taken using calipers with one jaw at the tip of the upper mandible and the other at the base of the bill (at the junction with the skull, a measurement called "total culmen") or where the feathers begin (a measurement called "exposed culmen").
The Andean condor is the largest living land bird capable of flight if measured in terms of average weight and wingspan, although male bustards of the largest species (far more sexually dimorphic in size) can weigh more. [14] [19] [20] The mean wingspan is around 283 cm (9 ft 3 in) and the wings have the largest surface area of any extant bird ...
In anthropology, pygmy peoples are ethnic groups whose average height is unusually short. The term pygmyism is used to describe the phenotype of endemic short stature (as opposed to disproportionate dwarfism occurring in isolated cases in a population) for populations in which adult men are on average less than 150 cm (4 ft 11 in) tall.
The average height of the species is 115–151 cm (45–59 in). [21] Males typically weigh 170 to 410 kg (370 to 900 lb) and females weigh 140 to 260 kg (310 to 570 lb). [ 22 ] A characteristic feature is the long, black tail, which is around 60–100 cm (24–39 in) in length. [ 21 ]
The mule deer is the larger of the three Odocoileus species on average, with a height of 80–106 cm (31–42 in) at the shoulders and a nose-to-tail length ranging from 1.2 to 2.1 m (3.9 to 6.9 ft). Of this, the tail may comprise 11.6 to 23 cm (4.6 to 9.1 in).
