Animals that can fly are termed "flying animals," with birds being the most recognizable group. While birds are the primary examples, other flying animals include bats, which are the only mammals capable of sustained flight, and insects like bees, butterflies, and dragonflies. Each of these groups has adapted in unique ways for flight, including specialized wing structures and energy-efficient flight patterns. The ability to fly allows these animals to access food sources, escape predators, and migrate over long distances, showcasing the diverse adaptations in the animal kingdom.
