Nicole Sharp<p>Some seabirds, including gannets and boobies, feed by plunge diving. From high in the air, they fold their wings and dive like darts into the water, impacting at speeds around 24 m/s to help them reach the depths where their prey swim. With their narrow beaks and necks, the critical moments in this feat come when the bird’s head is submerged but its body remains out of the water. At this point, the bird’s head is decelerating quickly and its body is still moving at full speed; if the neck cannot withstand this combination of forces, it will buckle.</p><p>But plunge divers, it turns out, have a secret weapon that helps them handle impact: their head shape. A <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-3190/ab38cc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">study of water entry dynamics</a> using 3D-printed models of birds’ heads found that plunge divers have a shape that increases the amount of time it takes to enter the water. The impact forces stretch out over that longer period of contact, which also stretches out the time it takes for the bird to reach its maximum deceleration. The end result? That extended contact time protects birds from unsafe levels of deceleration, just like a crumple-zone in a crashing car keeps its occupants from experiencing the worst decelerations.
