Yes, that means that they would cross anything that stands in their way: highways, house backyards and pretty much whatever they may encounter!

Bee Hummingbird

Everybody must be familiar with humminbirds: the smallest birds on Earth.
These creatures, that are now threatened by people destroying woods, actually come from Cuba!

What’s interesting about it? Well, his venom is also found in his saliva!
