Wings

Wings are structures that enable animals, especially birds, insects, and some mammals, to achieve flight or glide through the air. They are typically composed of bones, muscles, and a thin, lightweight membrane or feathers that generate lift by moving air. In birds, wings are modified arms with feathers that help generate the necessary force to stay airborne and maneuver. In insects, wings are membranous extensions that provide agility and speed. Wings are essential for various activities like migration, hunting, escaping predators, and dispersing to new habitats. Their design varies widely across species, optimized for different flight needs.
