Emperor Penguin Bird Breeding Online

It took about three days to find a place to hide during the day and travel at night, and Song Wen finally found a suitable shelter.

It was also an ice cave, and it was quite a distance from the sea. No matter whether it was a leopard seal or a killer whale, there was no way to get close to the place where they temporarily settled down through the water.

The ice cave is not on the iceberg, but in a thick layer of ice. It's not big, just enough to accommodate two cubs. If the wings were transformed into humans, it would be too narrow.

Even if the ice cave finally collapsed due to the rise in temperature, at most it would just throw them into the sea water, which is much less dangerous than the whole iceberg falling on them before, and there are some ice rocks around that can block the view After observing for a long time, Song Wen decided to temporarily settle here with Yi.

Song Wen saw a gray-brown stone mountain exposed from a distance, and he also saw some birds circling around the stone mountain. Although the stone mountain looked much safer than the ice cave they temporarily settled in, the same They might encounter many dangers, Song Wen didn't want to compete with those birds for territory.

Three days was enough for Song Wen to replace all the fluff on his body. Without the fluffy fluff, Song Wen's figure looked much slender than before.Although they encountered some breathing holes along the way, Song Wen did not venture into the sea to hunt for food because he was worried that there would be leopard seals guarding the bottom of the water.

It was a lot of exhaustion to rush on the road for several days in a row, and even the wings that had been holding on all the time were drooping and lost their usual energy.

Taking advantage of the light left in the evening, Song Wen planned to go out to hunt. He stared at the sea for a long time today, but he didn't see any powerful sea beasts moving around, but a few white seabirds came from them. Flying overhead, those seabirds were holding herrings caught somewhere in their mouths, making Song Wen greedy for a while. It's a pity that he doesn't have the flexible hands of humans now, otherwise he could try to beat those seabirds. down.

Yi has also changed day by day in the past few days. The golden down has turned into beautiful golden feathers, and the lines of the whole body have lost the fluffy feeling of the cub period, and it looks smooth and powerful.

"Do you want to go out with me?" Song Wen asked the sleepy Yi. Yi hadn't learned to fly yet, and he couldn't swim. In fact, even going to the beach with him wouldn't be of much help, but Song Wen was used to being with Yi. As long as the other party is around, he will feel at ease, not to mention that this is the first time he has entered the water after hatching. Even though he knows that emperor penguins are born to move in water, Song Wen still feels a little uneasy.

"Go." Yi, who had a small head, heard Song Wen's question and suddenly woke up.Having no food for a few days made Yi a lot weaker, but he also knew that Song Wen was going to hunt for himself, even if he didn't know how to drink water, he didn't want to just stay in the ice cave and wait for Song Wen to bring food back.

Out of caution, Song Wen still waited in the ice cave for a while, until the sun had completely dropped to the horizon, and even the seabirds in the distance had all returned to their nests, and then left with Yi.

The temperature of the seaside at night is lower than that of the breeding grounds. Although it is the seaside, it is only compared to the surrounding ice that has begun to melt. The depth of the water here is not small. possibility of drowning.Even though Song Wen walked around the area, he didn't find that there was relatively shallow water where he, a novice, could get used to it for a while.

Wing probed to peck the sea water, the salty smell made him shake his head in disgust, not understanding why this seemingly clear and transparent water was more unpalatable than ice cubes.

Song Wen stretched out his paws and put them into the water to test the water temperature. This is an action brought over from the time of humans. The sea water is a bit cold, but this temperature is still acceptable for emperor penguins.

"Wait for me on the shore, I'll go into the water to have a look first." Song Wen said to Yi.

"Song Song." Yi was a little worried, he spread his wings and fluttered a few times.

"Don't worry, I'm an emperor penguin." Song Wen comforted Yi, then took a deep breath, and slowly slid into the water along the solid ice next to it.

Wing turned into a human form, and the long-handed and long-legged human form allows him to fish out Song Wen when he finds something is wrong, but the human form is not covered by fur, which makes Yi tremble in such a cold night, which is because of hunger. The sleepiness that surged up was also washed away a lot.

When I first got into the water, I was a little uncomfortable. Song Wen accidentally choked twice, but the body shape of emperor penguins is naturally suitable for living in water. Those webbed claws slid a few times in the water, and Song Wen resurfaced. On the surface of the water, seeing the worried boy lying on the bank, Song Wen splashed a splash of water on Yi's face with his small wings in a rare and childish manner.

Yi was stunned for a moment, the worry on his face dissipated a little, and he even forgot to wipe off the splash on his face, and smiled at the emperor penguin in the water with the corners of his lips raised.

"You wait, I'll get you something to eat." Song Wenhao promised proudly.

"You have to pay attention to safety." Yi warned, and before Song Wen dived into the water, he added, "Actually, I'm not very hungry, if I can't find it, forget it."

Song Wen, who has been with him all the time, knows exactly how much food Yi eats. If a giant petrel is thrown in front of Yi now, Yi can wipe it out in one go, saying that he is not hungry. , I was just afraid that Song Wen would force himself to catch food.

Song Wen swam around first, got used to the movements in the water, and then plunged into the icy sea water.

The speed of emperor penguins in the sea is much faster than that on land. Song Wen felt his whole body became lighter. With just a slight swing of his flippers, he could jump a long distance, and the sea water did not obstruct Song Wen's sight. , although because of the dim sky, there is no way to see the surrounding things clearly, but Song Wen knew that if it was daytime, even in the water, the vision would be as clear as on land.

For the first time, Song Wen felt that his emperor penguin body was so convenient.It's just that the emperor penguin still needs to breathe. He can't stay in the water all the time, and needs to return to the surface of the water to breathe every once in a while.

On the cold ice sheets, a large number of predators can be attracted back to this water because there are a large number of krills living here. Krills are creatures that like to gather together. They are not big, but they are numerous. Krills can be seen under every piece of water above, and even herring schools are attracted by krills to move deep into the ice sheet.

Song Wen went into the water for the first time, and the target was naturally these small things that were easy to catch.

The krills living together will emit faint fluorescence at night, like an obvious lighthouse, reminding them of their existence, and Song Wen can easily spot them.

This swarm of krill doesn't look very big, and it's not far from Song Wen. They gather under the ice, as if eating the floating algae around them. Song Wen doesn't have anything on his body that can be used for loading or hunting. Only his own long beak, he looked at the target, rushed over, opened the beak, those translucent krills were not fast, and he easily sucked them into his mouth, Song Wen Unlike the wings, there were sharp teeth in the bird's beak, and the krills that entered the mouth could only be swallowed whole by Song Wen.

This way of eating was a bit strange to Song Wen, who felt as if the krills were still swimming in his throat.Shaking his head, he drove this strange feeling out of his mind, turned his body, and rushed into the krill again.

This time Song Wen didn't eat it by himself, but returned to the surface of the water with a big mouthful of moving krills in his mouth, spat the krills onto the ice surface on the bank, and walked over to help the krills that were about to jump back into the water. The prawns were pulled in.

"Try to see if you can eat it." The recipes of each race are different. Song Wen can see that Yi prefers bird meat like giant petrels. I don't know if he can eat this kind of invertebrates. If he doesn't like it, he can try to catch fish when the light is good.

It's just that the speed of swimming fish in the sea is not low. Song Wen, a novice emperor penguin, needs practice to catch it successfully.

Yi didn't dislike the fact that these krills were spit out from Song Wen's beak, and he had eaten small fish fed back by his novice mother before.

The shell of the krill is translucent, and the only pair of eyes is black and big. It looks a bit weird to Yi, who saw it for the first time. After looking at it curiously, Yi picked up one and put it in his mouth. The taste of eating krill is not good, and krill is not as meaty as fish, and it will make a crackling sound when eating, but it tastes like eating some delicious food. The seawater with a salty smell.

This is the food Song Song gave him to hunt.Tsubasa thought happily.

"How is it? Can I eat it?" Song Wen was a little worried. It was getting late now. Apart from these krills, the only way to catch other fishes was to wait for the light to improve during the day. He didn't want to be too hungry. last night.

"Well, what Song Song hunts is delicious." Yi had a bright smile on his pretty face, and happily twirled another krill and put it into his mouth.

Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yi: "Then wait a while, and I'll get you some more."

"Hmm."

Song Wen plunged into the water again as he spoke. One of them was conscientiously catching krills underwater, and the other happily ate on the shore. On the quiet coast, there was only a little movement made by Song Wen when he jumped out of the water from time to time.

It's a pity that Yi's food intake is not small. With his own beak, Song Wenguang can't get many krills at one time, and the krills are too small. For Yi, it seems like eating snacks Same.

Song Wen went back and forth under the water about a dozen times before Yi stopped shouting. At this speed, Song Wen would only be able to feed Yi half full if he catches the dawn.

"Tomorrow, I'll catch fish for you." The group of krills were also driven to a distance by Song Wen. It would be a waste of energy to run too far just to catch a few krills. Song Wen ran too far.

Song Wen climbed to the shore, the emperor penguin's hair didn't touch the water, just flicked it casually, and it was a clean cub again.
