The longest documented nonstop flight by any animal belongs to a juvenile bar-tailed godwit. About how far did it fly without landing?

The answer

A four-month-old godwit tagged in Alaska, B6, flew about 13,500 km (8,400 miles) to Tasmania in 11 days without stopping. USGS called it the longest documented nonstop flight by any animal: no rest, no food, just Pacific Ocean the whole way.

Correct answer: About 13,500 km (8,400 miles)
