Pali mitundu pafupifupi 10,000 ya mbalame pa Dziko Lapansi. Mbalamezi zimaonetsa mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya nthenga ndi nthenga, ndipo zimabwera mosiyanasiyana ndi makulidwe ake, kuyambira mbalame zazing'ono kwambiri mpaka nthiwatiwa zowuma.
Mbalame zazing'ono zimalimbana ndi mphamvu yokoka mosavuta. Mbalame zazikulu zimagwiritsa ntchito maubwino ena azachilengedwe, zimagulitsa kuthekera kouluka kwamitundu yayikulu yamthupi.
Mitundu yambirimbiri ya mbalame, yayikulu ndi yaying'ono, yawonekera ndikusowa kwazaka zambiri. Megafauna imadziyang'ana yokha, mbalame zina zazikulu modabwitsa zimasunga mapiko awo, koma ndizovuta ndipo zimangoyenda bwino zikamathamanga.

Mbalame nthawi zambiri zimakhala zowala chifukwa mawonekedwe ake amachepetsa kulemera kwake kuti akwere mlengalenga kukhala kotheka komanso koyenera. Pali malire pamiyeso ya momwe mbalame youluka imalemera. Mitundu yolemera siziuluka.
Wingspan ndi njira ina yoyezera kukula. Kapangidwe kake ndi mapiko ake ndi amene amaonetsa momwe mbalameyo imaulukira. Mapiko ena amapereka liwiro komanso kusunthika, ena amaterera. Mbalame zazikuluzikulu zokhala ndi mapiko aatali atayandama mlengalenga.
