My Deep-sea Fishery

In addition, the origin of the name of the frigate bird should start from their living habits.

The frigate bird has a pair of long and pointed wings and is very good at flying. When its two wings are deployed, the distance between the two wing tips can reach 2.3 meters.

During the day, the frigate bird almost always soars in the air.

They can flip and hover at high altitudes, and they can also dive straight and fast. Their superb flying ability is really amazing.

Since the frigate bird cannot dive and fish by itself, it likes to attack other seabirds with fish in its mouth when flying in the air.

Usually, after seeing the prey, the frigate bird will rush towards the target very fiercely, making the attacker frightened and panicking, leaving the fish barn in its mouth and fleeing in panic.

At this time, the frigate bird immediately rushed down, grabbed the falling fish in the air, and immediately swallowed it.

Because of this predatory habit of the frigate bird, early biologists named it frigatebird.

In the Middle Ages, frigate means a sailboat with a cannon used by pirates.

In modern English, frigate means frigate.

Later, when this meaning was translated into China, the Chinese simply called it a warship.

That's how the name of the frigate bird was called.

In addition, the frigate bird is also called the pirate bird.

It will obtain food by harassing other seabirds returning with their prey.

In addition to interfering with other flying birds, food falling from the beaks of other seabirds, if the frigate bird sees red-footed boobies and seagulls returning from fishing, the frigate bird will suddenly attack them. Air strikes force red-footed boobies or seagulls to give up the fish and shrimp in their mouths, and then dive quickly, grabbing the fallen fish and shrimp as their own.

Xiang Yang glanced at the top of the cabin and muttered secretly, isn't that big guy staring at the two tiger-headed sea eagles on the top of his cabin?

It's not that Xiang Yang looked down on the frigate bird.

Steller's sea eagles really don't counsel frigate birds, especially above the sea.

Both are kings over the sea.

But the frigate bird feathers have no oil and cannot be touched by water, otherwise they will drown. Therefore, they catch food by themselves. They can only catch a few fish near the water surface. Most of them rely on superb flying skills to intercept others from the air Fish caught by birds.

And what about the Steller's sea eagle?

That is the real king of the sky.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the two may be in between.

But if they are entangled together and fall into the sea from the sky, the frigate bird must die.

"Cuckoo..." The female eagle yelled to the male eagle several times, as if to warn the male eagle of invaders to break into the territory.

Only when the eagles are the most docile, warmest, and most relaxed and vigilant, will they make a cooing sound. Obviously, the female eagle hasn't paid attention to the frigate bird at all.

"Tweet—"

The male tiger-headed sea eagle uttered a loud eagle cry, slowly stood up from the eagle's nest, and then stretched out a pair of huge wings.

The Steller’s sea eagle family is a family of male and female birds that hatch their eggs in turns. The female eagle does not hatch all the time. The predation is also by the male and female eagles. However, when resisting foreign enemies, the body is generally relatively small, but more flexible and stronger Xiongdiao came forward to solve it.

A loud sing resounded through the sky, echoing in the empty world of the sea and the sky, it seemed that the male eagle was declaring his sovereignty to the frigate bird.

Xiang Yang looked at the sky with some worry.

Regardless of the fact that this frigate bird is flying over the sea, it seems to be crossing the ocean. In fact, Xiang Yang knows that the frigate bird must return to the land or the island to inhabit every night.

When a frigate bird is resting, it will generally fall on a towering rock or on the top of a tree, always keeping a certain distance from the ground, otherwise it will not even be able to take off smoothly.

Someone once posted a video of a frigate bird swimming on the Internet, and many people used that video to deny the conclusion that a frigate bird could not touch the water discovered by biologists.

In fact, even if the frigate bird swims, it only gathers on the surface of the sea not far from the shore. It is absolutely impossible to be in the deep sea area.

Therefore, Xiang Yang is not worried that the stalactite sea eagle will lose out in the fight with the warship bird.

What Xiang Yang really worries about is that frigate birds are social creatures.

When roosting, a large group of frigate birds will crowd together and appear very crowded.

Speaking of this, one thing is worth mentioning, because it is very magical.

At night, many other seabirds, such as boobies, seagulls, and even goshawks, often gather around frigate birds to roost.

Most of these birds are bullied and plundered by frigate birds during the day, but they live with frigate birds at night, which is incredible.

At this time, the crew also looked up and saw the frigate bird flying in the sky.

Fang Youqun looked at the steller's sea eagle on the top of the cabin, and then looked up at the frigate bird in the sky, and turned to look at Xiang Yang, "Brother Yang, isn't that frigate bird staring at the steller's sea eagle? ?"

"Impossible." Xiang Yang shook his head. "The tiger-headed sea eagle is not a sparrow seagull. The frigate bird dare not fight the tiger-headed sea eagle's idea~www.readwn.com~ Xiang Yang always believes that the animal world is the strongest. Yes, the weak should naturally surrender to the strong.

But in fact, in nature, the weak are desperately resisting the strong from beginning to end. This spirit of resistance, even integrated into the bones, is passed on from generation to generation.

Such as the sea **** of war killer whale and humpback whale.

Killer whales can't beat humpback whales.

Whenever a humpback whale encounters a killer whale, it will definitely go up with a fat beating.

But the growth cycle of humpback whales is slow.

Once a group of killer whales encounter a juvenile humpback whale, even if they are fighting the risk of being killed by the humpback whale, they must go up and kill the juvenile humpback whale.

It's like a flat-headed brother and a jackal in Africa.

Both of these creatures can't beat the lions.

But when the lions are alone, they definitely go up and go desperately.

The male tiger-head sea eagle gazed at the sky, stretching its wings, showing its kingly posture to its fullest.

But the frigate bird was not afraid at all. It hovered over the fishing boat, flying lower and lower, and gradually approached the eagle's nest.

Wouldn't the frigate bird know that he couldn't beat the Steller's sea eagle?

Especially at the moment there are two Steller's sea eagles here, but there is only one frigate bird.

The frigate bird must know that it can't beat the two stigmata sea eagles, but it thinks that the two stigmata sea eagles can't kill it. It has confidence in its combat effectiveness and thinks that it can hold the two stigmata sea eagles. Attacked, and then escaped safely.

The most important thing is that through observation, the frigate bird has determined that there is a nest of the steller's sea eagle on the fishing boat. It obviously wants to attack first, and it will be one of the few natural enemies, the nestling of the steller's sea eagle. Or the bird eggs are killed, and the natural enemies are strangled in the bud.

The frigate bird looked down at the Steller's sea eagle nest thirty to forty meters below, and began to find the most suitable foothold for the attack.
