Muskovit

Eurotrochilus inexpectatus is the name of the oldest fossilised evidence of a hummingbird to date. While scientists once believed that hummingbirds developed in South America and spread to North America, clay finds from Germany indicate that hummingbirds were once widespread in the Old World. It is speculated that the species was already capable of hovering flight and fed on nectar from plants with funnel-shaped flowers because of its long beak.
