I Have a Safari Park

The wide wings are half open and twisted very vigorously!

The scarf-like feathers under the neck seemed to be flung away.

Pair it with a hi-pi electronic dance music, and there is no sense of disobedience.

Directly showed the tourists stunned: "Why is this shaking?"

"Pineapple Bean Lightning Whip!"

"As expected of the second bird in the bird!"

Ask the breeder: "What is it doing?"

In fact, the breeder is not very clear, the time of contact with breeding is not long, and he has not fully understood its temperament.

However, relying on the experience of taking care of other waterfowl, I guessed: "Maybe it is a demonstration against us? It means that this is its territory and does not want us to get close? Let's look a little further away!"

The tourists are also very reasonable, and they retreated a little after hearing the words.

A tourist asked curiously: "I remember that the whale-headed stork seems to be endangered because it is stupid to catch fish. Is this true?"

The breeder smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

The tourist thought for a while: "Hey, I don't know either."

The breeder raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course not! Look at the big mouth of the stork, which has a strong mouth and can hunt African lungfish, catfish, and even the cubs of Nile crocodiles and monitor lizards over 50 centimeters in size. The young lizard is actually a very fierce bird."

"Wow!"

"Even crocodiles! Even small crocodiles are very powerful!"

The crowd exclaimed.

"Everyone may have the impression that it is a very dumb bird. For example, it stands still for a long time, like a statue.

This is actually the hunting strategy of the whale-headed stork, which is more similar to the habits of the heron. Once the prey is found, it will quickly attack, rush into the water and grab the prey with its big mouth.

Also, it often rolls its eyes, which may also be the point that everyone thinks the whale-headed stork is relatively dumb.

In fact, this is the nictitating membrane that many animals have, which has the function of cleaning and protecting the eyes.

For example, crocodiles, the nictitating membrane will open underwater to protect the eyes, like diving glasses, but the nictitating membrane of crocodiles is transparent.

The moment the whalebone catches fish, this layer of nictitating membrane will close to prevent the eyes from being hit by the water splash, and also prevent the eyeballs from being injured by the fish.

It's just that we humans look at it and think it's dumb, not that the whale stork is really dumb. "

"Oh~"

The breeder said: "There is nothing that is endangered because it can't fish. This is the same as saying that pandas are endangered because of their indifference. Every creature can appear in front of us, and their survival ability is very strong.

In some videos, whale-headed storks cannot catch fish for a long time. What they catch in the wild are big fish of tens of centimeters. Of course, it is more difficult to eat small fish. Just like we use chopsticks to pick up small beans, it's easy to replace it with something bigger.

Then the marketing account told nonsense, what kind of bird is too stupid to catch a fish, and it went extinct by its own strength. In fact, it is now endangered because of the destruction of its wild habitat.

Look at the tip of the stork's beak, which is curved like a hook, and it is clipped very accurately. "

Just as he was talking, a mallard swam over the driftwood that the whale-headed stork was stepping on.

He flapped his wings and stepped on the driftwood, as if planning to bask in the sun here.

The whale-headed stork was immediately attracted and looked towards it.

Suddenly, with a slight jump, he jumped to the mallard's side, his wings spread back, a charge gesture.

He lowered his head and opened his mouth, and picked up the mallard.

Mallard was in the air, kicking his legs in fright, shouting "quack!"

"Oh!"

Tourists are also a burst of exclamation!

The stork's intelligent eyes blinked, and then let it go into a free fall, with two feathers fluttering down.

The mallard's heart is estimated to be extremely collapsed, big brother, what are you doing, playing?

He fell into the water and scurried away in a hurry. He probably won't dare to approach this big brother easily in the future.

Yu Gongxin patted his chest and let out a breath: "I thought the duck was going to be eaten!"

The breeder explained: "The whale-headed stork and the pelican are a bit similar, not only in temperament, but also a bit silly, and they like to take anything in their mouths.

Although birds are occasionally eaten, the main food is fish!

We usually have fish to feed. They don't eat birds. They are just curious to pick them up. Otherwise, they can't be kept here with mandarin ducks and ducks. "

"Haha, I've even seen a pelican swallow a swan's head, and then spit it out again. The swan is so angry that the swan chases the pelican and pecks."

"What's the matter with a swan's head, I have seen a child with a child's head."

"But one thing to say, I just picked up the duck and duck, and the movement is really fast! And the eyes are very imposing."

Just listening to the breeders, tourists can hardly imagine how such a stupid bird hunts.

But just now I saw a whale stork catching a duck. Although the movement was not as fast as an eagle hunting, it was like a flash of lightning, and it rushed down from the air with a "sudden". The jump is very far, and the mouth is also very precise.

There is a feeling of playing Tai Chi, the last one comes first.

This will look at the stork again, with bright eyes, like a ruthless killer!

Impression is very different.

Another tourist asked curiously: "I watched a video and the whale-headed stork would bow to people. It's very polite. Is this true?"

The breeder smiled and said, "You try it, and practice the truth!"

So the tourist took two steps forward and bowed to the whale-headed stork.

Look up and wait expectantly for it to return the gift!

The whale-headed stork tilted its head and stared at the tourists with intelligent eyes.

It seems to be saying: Do you seem stupid?

"Huh?" The tourist looked disappointed.

The breeder explained: "Bowing to people may have been raised artificially since childhood, and I have never seen other whale-headed storks. They regard people as their own kind. This is their way of communicating with their own kind.

Like our oriental white storks in Hexuan, they also have similar behaviors when courting or guarding. They bow and buckle their beaks at the same time. They are very noisy. Like woodpeckers, they are also very playful. "

The stork stayed on the driftwood on the shore for a while, and took two slow steps.

Suddenly, it seemed to have found something, and it spread its wings again and rushed forward.

This time he picked up a piece of black wood in the water.

He flicked it to the back of his mouth, "quack quack" chewed twice, and the clump of dull hair on the back of his head also swayed.

Blinking his eyes, he rolled his eyes.

Look at its expression, the taste is not very good, let go.

With a click, the wood fell into the water.

The wood fell into the water and was picked up again.

In fact, just play with the wood in your mouth!

However, because of his naive appearance, it gives people a feeling of not being very smart.

The tourists couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

It is indeed a very cute and cute bird, no wonder the whale-headed stork is so popular on the Internet now.

Amamiya Xin couldn't stop laughing and took many pictures of the whale-headed stork.
