hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are too small for skeletons to be preserved as fossils, and their evolutionary history remains a mystery. Most hummingbirds live in Central and South America, where fossils of hummingbirds dating back 1 million years have been found, so scientists believe that hummingbirds originated from the Pleistocene. However, scientists in southern Germany have found the world's oldest hummingbird fossils, dating back more than 30 million years, suggesting that hummingbirds' ancestors appeared as far back as the Oligocene epoch.
Hummingbirds live in a vast range, from the Andes mountains up to 4,000 meters high to the Amazon River
Tropical rainforest
Some hummingbirds live in dry shrubs and jungles, while others live in wet marshes.
