Chapter 77 Golden Eagle Cub
"Damn, what a handsome eagle."

"This eagle looks good, what kind of breed is this host?"

"Look at that beak, it scares me to death."

"Is this the eagle that just attacked the drone?"

"The anchor is this eagle?"

"Looking at this, it can't be a sand sculpture, right?"

"Hahaha, this is a golden eagle. Whoever stepped on the horse and said it was a sand sculpture, I laughed to death."

"Oh my god, this is the golden eagle, so handsome!"

"Those little eyes are worthy of being the king of birds."

The audience in the live broadcast room shouted.

Through the lens of the drone, Xu Guoqing and others in the camp also saw clearly the appearance of the golden eagle.

They were speechless, the golden eagle's handsome appearance.

"I didn't expect that there are birds of prey like golden eagles in Shennongjia?"

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen a live golden eagle. In the past, there were only specimens in the laboratory."

"Look at the eyes of this golden eagle, it's really handsome." The range on the side shouted.

"This should be an adult golden eagle."

"Just now our drone was accidentally scratched by its claws."

"The golden eagle is very territorial and likes to attack flying birds."

"I guess the golden eagle just now regarded our drone as an edible bird." Lin Bei laughed while watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.

At this time, the drone flying in mid-air kept a certain distance from the golden eagle.

In order to avoid the drone being attacked by the golden eagle again, Lin Bei did not dare to get too close to shoot.

Not long after, the golden eagle on the dwarf pine let out a hoarse and sharp call, flapped its wings and flew high, and disappeared into the distance
It wasn't until the golden eagle left that Lin Bei felt relieved and controlled the drone to slowly approach the cliff.

Because many sharp-eyed netizens have already seen the huge bird's nest on the cliff.

"Fuck, look, is there a bird's nest on the cliff?"

"Damn, such a big bird's nest can't be the nest of the golden eagle just now."

"It's possible, the anchor, please come closer and have a look."

"Yeah, anyway, the golden eagle has already left, you can take a closer look to see if there is a small golden eagle inside."

Amidst the heated discussions among the audience, the drone slowly flew towards the lair on the edge of the cliff.

This bird's nest was built with some dry branches.

The bird's nest is very large, about one meter in diameter and oval in shape.

Inside the bird's nest, there is a lot of soft dry grass and feathers.

With the continuous adjustment of the drone lens, two hairless chicks in the nest appeared in everyone's sight.

These two chicks are red and plump all over.

Because the whole body has no hair yet, it looks a little funny.

"Hahahaha, is this a little golden eagle? It looks so ugly."

"Hahahaha, I just said that the golden eagle is very handsome, but I didn't expect this little chick to be so ugly."

"Looking at it, it shouldn't be long since I was born, and my eyes haven't been opened yet."

"Tsk tsk tsk, there are two little golden eagles in this litter."

"It's so cute, look, they are still moving."

"I don't know if they are hungry, why are they opening their mouths?"

"Good guy, so this golden eagle cub looks like this, hahaha, is it his own?"

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed.

Seeing through the footage of the drone, Xu Guoqing and Zuo Gan were very excited.

These two newborn chicks are indeed the cubs of the golden eagle.

However, it is estimated that it has only been born for a few days, so the wings are not yet full, and only a few thick and thin feathers have grown.

"This is indeed a national first-class protected animal, the golden eagle."

"I didn't expect to find their two cubs this time."

"Looking at it like this, it should be about a week old." Xu Guoqing looked at Lin Beidao.

"That's good, Xu Yan, you can take photos and make records." Lin Bei smiled.

"This kind of golden eagle with dark golden wings is not common. In the past few years, we only found this kind of golden eagle in Q Sea and Yunnan and Guizhou."

"Shennongjia is so vast and rich in resources. Even the golden eagles like to live here." Jia Haoren sighed.

Not long after, a black shadow flitted across the sky in the distance.

A smaller golden eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the cliff quickly.

When passing over the camp, the golden eagle swooped down at a low altitude, which made everyone in the scientific expedition team nervous.

"Don't underestimate this golden eagle, their claws and beaks are very sharp.

"If you're not careful, the golden eagle can pick out the eyeballs of people."

Zuo Gan on the side reminded.

But fortunately, the golden eagle didn't attack everyone, it just swayed around and flew towards the cliff.

The sun gradually went down.

In the camp, a bonfire was lit.

Everyone in the scientific expedition team sat around the fire and began to eat dinner.

A box of self-heating rice, served with a small bag of pickled mustard, everyone ate deliciously.

After dinner, Lin Bei lit a pot of hot tea by the fire.

The audience in the live broadcast room still couldn't forget the golden eagle before, and clamored for Lin Bei to give them some knowledge about the golden eagle.

Reluctantly, taking advantage of the time, Lin Bei pointed the drone camera at himself, and began to popularize the habits of golden eagles with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The golden eagle is a bird of prey belonging to the eagle family and the genus Eagle. The general body length is 76-102 centimeters, the wingspan is 2.3 meters, and the weight is about 2-6.5 kilograms."

"They mainly inhabit various environments such as forests, grasslands, and deserts. They generally move around in plateaus, mountains, and hills, with a maximum altitude of more than 4000 meters. In winter, they often go to low-altitude mountain hills and plains at the foot of mountains. .Nests in the depressions of valley cliffs during the breeding season, and occasionally on tall trees."

"The golden eagle is famous for its agile flying ability and feeds on medium and large birds and beasts."

"The golden eagle's legs are all covered with feathers, and the feet have three toes forward and one toe backward, with thick and long horny claws as sharp as a liger. The claws on the inner toe and the back toe are Sharper."

"When catching prey, its claws can pierce the vital parts of the prey at the same time like a sharp blade, tear the flesh, tear the blood vessels, and even twist the neck of the prey. Its huge wings are also one of its powerful weapons, and sometimes it flaps its wings Move over, and you can knock your prey to the ground."

"They also prey on dozens of prey, such as geese, ducks, pheasants, roe deer, deer, goats, foxes, marmots, hares, etc., and sometimes eat small animals such as mice. When hunting prey, dismember it on the ground, eat the good meat and internal organs such as heart, liver, lung, etc., and then divide the rest into two halves, and bring them back to the habitat in batches.”

"As for their nests, the nests of golden eagles are piled up in a disk shape with dead branches. The structure is very large, with an outer diameter of nearly 2 meters and a height of 1 meters. The nests are lined with twigs, pine needles, grass stems, furs, etc. Build some spare nests, just in case, there are as many as 12 at most."

"Of course it also has the habit of using old nests, but it has to be repaired every year before use. Some nests can be used for many years, so the nests are getting bigger and bigger. The largest "giant nest" is built like a house. at the top of the tree."

"Under normal circumstances, golden eagles will be seen in pairs hovering in the air in early February for courtship, and they will start laying eggs in mid-February."

"But if it's in a colder place, the golden eagle's breeding season will be later."

"They lay about two eggs per clutch, occasionally as few as one and as many as three. The eggs are dirty white or bluish-white, with reddish-brown spots and stripes."
