my golden fishing village

Chapter 95 Robber Bird

"what?"

"What is the reason, Chen Fan, tell me quickly!"

"Because of physical defects, frigatebirds cannot catch big fish under the water surface, but their flying skills are really superb, so, with this stunt, they start to attack other seabirds with fish in their mouths."

"what?"

Tang Yuan exclaimed, "This, isn't this a robber?"

Xia Zichen also frowned slightly.

"good."

Chen Fan was not as excited as the two of them. Natural selection and survival of the fittest are the laws of nature.

"Those seabirds that catch fish will be frightened by the frigate birds that suddenly swoop down, drop the fish in their mouths and run away in a hurry, while the frigate birds will rush down, catch the falling fish, and then swallow them. go down."

"Because of the predatory habits of this seabird, early naturalists named it a kind of sailing ship used by pirates in the Middle Ages. This kind of sailing ship was often equipped with artillery. In modern English, it was called a frigate. Later, people Simply call it a frigate bird.”

"Of course, it's also called a robber bird."

"Sure enough, it's a robber bird! Hmph!"

Tang Yuan was very angry.

"I see."

Suddenly, Xia Zichen looked at the frigate birds that were drifting away in the sky.

I can't tell whether I like it or hate it.

After all, nature is not like human society. In human society, filling the stomach is only the minimum requirement, but in nature, it is already very difficult to fill the stomach every day.

"Look, that's a seagull."

Suddenly, Chen Fan pointed not far away.

"Wow, really!"

Tang Yuan quickly pointed the camera at the seagulls in the sky, click click click.

A little ashamed in her heart, she mistook the frigate bird for a seagull...

To be honest, there is a big difference between the two.

From the outside, the seagull is almost entirely white, with its back and shoulders slate gray.

Moreover, its size is much smaller than the warship bird, which is usually more than one meter long, only about forty or fifty centimeters.

"Lots of seagulls."

Xia Zichen looked back, and in his field of vision, another group of seagulls flew by together.

"Yes, seagulls are the most common seabirds on the ocean," Chen Fan said with a smile, "Just like the frigate birds I just mentioned, seagulls also like to appear in groups, and there are many ways to roll , such as flying in the air, floating in groups, swimming and looking for food on the seashore, in ports."

"Experienced fishermen can also judge the weather conditions through the flight trajectories of seagulls."

"Huh? I have an impression of this!"

Tang Yuan turned his head, widened his eyes and said: "When I was young, I seemed to have seen it in the text, it seems to say, say..."

"say what?"

Xia Zichen asked with a smile.

"I, I forgot..."

Tang Yuan was helpless.

"... "

"Hehehe, let me say it."

Chen Fan laughed and said, "If the seagulls fly close to the sea like now, then it indicates that the weather will be sunny in the future. If they wander along the seashore, the weather will gradually get worse."

"The seagulls leave the water mask and fly high, and fly in groups from the sea to the sea in groups, or groups of seagulls gather on the beach or in the crevices of rocks, which means that a storm is coming."

"Yes, yes, Chen Fan, you really know a lot." Tang Yuan pouted, "Then why?"

"I have some impression of this." Xia Zichen thought for a while, and said, "Is it related to its bones? It seems hollow?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan gave a thumbs up, "The bones of seagulls are hollow tubes, without bone marrow, filled with air, just like our human rheumatoid patients can predict sunny and rainy days, this small feature of seagulls is very similar to a barometer, and can predict the weather in time Changes, unlike humans' rheumatoid mobility impairment, this feature of the ancient seagulls is conducive to their flight."

"You probably don't know that the seagull's flying speed is also very fast. Its speed can reach 170 kilometers per hour."

"Wow formidable!"

Tang Yuan smiled and said: "The flying ability is not bad, and they are cute. It would be nice if I could catch two of them as pets."

"Yuanyuan..."

Xia Zichen rolled his eyes and said, "How could I make you a pet."

"Um…"

Chen Fan hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, seagulls are not as harmless as they look."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Chen Fan looked at the seagulls passing by the sea not far away, and said, "It's best not to eat in front of them, or they will use lightning speed to cover their ears. Steady, ruthless snatch it from your hand."

"Also, what else is there?"

Even Xia Zichen showed a look of surprise.

"Hehehe." Chen Fan smiled, secretly thinking that you are still too young.

"If the seagull is the second most annoying bird in the world, then no bird dares to say that it is the first. Do you want to say that the seagull does not look so vicious, but rather cute. In fact, it is a true bird. A robber without buckle."

"The bread in your hand, the sausage in your mouth, milk tea, etc., are all very delicious things in the eyes of seagulls. They will rush straight down and snatch your things without any psychological burden."

"Not only that, but the seagulls are also very selfish. Seals, dolphins, and even ducks on the beach have all been attacked by them. The worst thing is the little seals, because those seagulls will attack the buttocks of the little dolphins crazily, leaving them bruised."

"What?"

Tang Yuan was dumbfounded.

Xia Zichen also blushed, looking at Chen Fan with some resentment.

"Ahem, cough, I have no other meaning, just to say one more fact."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Some seagulls have very strong tastes, and they especially like seal feces, because these seal feces contain a special parasitic hookworm, which is the favorite of seagulls."

"The impatient seagulls can't wait to find food from the seals before the seals are excreted, so many seals have been poisoned. The gastrointestinal system of young seals is not fully developed, and most of the parasites are adults. It is also more in line with the appetite of seagulls , coupled with the weak resistance of young seals, so it is even more unlucky."

"This…"

Tang Yuan instantly felt that the seagulls in front of him were not cute anymore.

Even, a little nauseous.

Seeing this, Chen Fan didn't say much.

In fact, the seagulls did not attack seals just for parasites. Sometimes they would attack a young seal in groups, pecking blind eyes first, then pecking the soft abdomen, and waiting until the baby seal lost its life. After fighting back, they can enjoy the delicious food to their heart's content.

"So, seagulls seem to be pretty smart?"

Xia Zichen couldn't help asking.

"This is true."

Chen Fan nodded, "The reason why the seagull can be so arrogant is not only because it flies fast, but it is also very smart."
