48、r contribution to photography DWe all know that birds use their feathers(羽毛) to line their nests. But have you ever heard of a bird eating its own feathers?

Both the male and

53、 female grebe hatch(孵化) the eggs and take care of the young ones.

And when did the first book come out?M: A few years later, in 1955. So to answer your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7cm tall.
