“arctic tern”
Arctic Tern
Every year, The Arctic Tern flies from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back again , a distance of 40000 kms.
The Arctic Tern is a tiny, slender bird with black capped head and a forked tail. Its bill turns bright red in the Arctic spring and summer. They have short legs and webbed feet.
Bird size from tip of its beak to tip of tail is measured 13 to 15 inches, weight between 86 and 127gm.
It has a circumpolar distribution, which means that the bird inhabits one of the earth’s pole. This bird spends six months, from April to September, breeding in the Arctic.
In October, when winter blankets the Arctic, it head to Antarctic.
This small bird travels thousand of kilometers from the south pole to the Arctic and back every year. It takes 90 days each way for the bird to complete its epic journey. In its life time, the distance that Tern flies is equal to traveling to the moon and back.
U.S.A swimmer Micheal Phelps says he will give one more push in the pool at the Summer London Olympic, but after that he is going to retire.

An interview with Anderson Cooper in “60 Minutes”, Michael Phelps says “After Beijing, there have been countless times where I just wanted to be like, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore, I don’t want to go to the pool anymore’ … I didn’t know if the passion or fire was still inside of me,”.
But he found that fire and now he says he’s “actually enjoying” swimming again and that he’s swimming well. He also says he has learned a lot from the incident where he was photographed with a bong and suspended from competitions for three months.
“That was the lowest point in my career,” says Phelps. “Being able to see how it affected the close people around me, that was the thing that hurt the most. Telling my mom that … It was stupid. I put myself in a bad position. I probably went through a depression phase.”
As for his career after the 2012 London Olympics, Micheal’s mom Deborah says she’s all for him competing in the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. “I’ve never been there before!” she cracks.
But Phelps says no way.
“I’m retiring. I’m done. I’ve been able to go to all these amazing cities in my travels and I haven’t been able to see them at all. I see the hotel and I see the pool, that’s it. I just want to go and do whatever I want to do. I’m excited,” says Michael
