The bar-tailed godwit is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Alaska to New Zealand nd back. The birds make each 11,500 kilometer trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days. Would you expect the flight(breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer
