A bar-tailed Godwit bird broke world record for the longest non-stop migration after it flew 13,560 kilometres (8,435 miles) from Alaska to Tasmania. On October 24, the bird landed in the Australian state of Tasmania, 11 days after it set off from Alaska. The journey of the bird was tracked with the help of a 5G satellite tag attached to its lower back, according to Guinness World Records.
“The distance covered is equivalent to two and a half trips between London and New York, or approximately one-third of the planet’s full circumference. According to the 5G satellite tag attached to its lower back, the epic journey started on October 13, 2022, and continued for 11 days and one hour without the bird landing once,” the organisation said.
