Chapter 739: Antarctic Skua

Later, it is said that someone went to Antarctica to study the mirage, but did not find the prototype of the glacier in the mirage.

"Captain, it's not a question of believe it or not, be careful to make the Wannian ship." Chen Qingsheng whispered.

Xiang Yang nodded. In fact, in Xiang Yang's view, it is normal to find the prototype of the glacier in the mirage in Antarctica.

The glaciers in Antarctica often flow in metropolitan areas, and after light refraction, the size of the resulting image is different from the original. It is also normal.

However, Xiang Yang didn't bother to explain this to Chen Qingsheng and others, and it was not a bad thing for Xiang Yang to have a certain awe of nature.

Moreover, Xiang Yang felt that this mirage had existed for long enough. When he explained to the crew first, and then went to discuss with Gao Chuang, the mirage might be over.

"Huh?" At this moment, Xiang Yang suddenly looked up at the sky in surprise.

"What's the matter? Captain." Chen Qingsheng raised his head questioningly, only to see a small gray-black dot in mid-air, which seemed to be a seabird of a large size.

"That seems to be an Antarctic skua." Xiang Yang said.

"Antarctic skua? Is it a kind of seagull? Why, this kind of bird is very rare?" Chen Qingsheng asked.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "No, I suspect that there may be islands nearby. The Antarctic Skua has a very strong flying ability. Flying over the island is rarely seen flying to the surface of the sea, even if it is hunting prey, it will only fly to the sky not far from the shore to deal with the prey."

Xu Fang shook his head and said: "This sea area has a chart. There are no islands near the chart. The island closest to us will take more than an hour to sail, but there are a lot of floating islands around us. The ice is real."

"Then this Antarctic skua may have survived on floating ice," Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Antarctic skuas generally like to set up their homes next to penguin colonies and make their homes on large ice floes, which is quite reasonable.

"Brother Yang, does this seagull steal something?" Fang Youqun asked suddenly.

"Huh? Why do you ask?" Xiang Yang asked in confusion.

Fang Youqun took it for granted: "If it doesn't steal, then why is it called the Antarctic Skua?"

When Xiang Yang heard this, he suddenly laughed, "In Antarctica, there are only predation and predation, and the symbiosis relationship. There is no saying that the Antarctic skua is called the skua. It is only because of its relationship with the skua It looks very similar."

The skua is a seagull with a body length of about 60 cm. It looks a bit like a seagull, but is thicker and heavier than a normal seagull. Its feathers are light brown and have large white wings and spots.

This kind of seagull never builds nests on its own, but takes overbearing means to seize the nests of other birds, so it is named jaegers and is widely distributed in the northeast, Xie County, East China Sea, southeast coastal areas of China.

Antarctic skua is a kind of seagull that looks very similar to the skua. It usually likes to build nests near penguin gathering places. The cubs are sometimes accidentally trampled to death by penguins. It is a kind of fierce and tenacious that only lives in Antarctica. Rare and fierce bird.

It is said that in addition to George Island, the Antarctic skua in other parts of Antarctica has been almost extinct, and it is currently a rare bird carefully protected by the International Biological Conservation Organization.

Xiang Yang thought for a while, and suddenly said, "This is actually a very contradictory bird."

"Why do you say that?" Fang Youqun wondered.

Xiang Yang raised his head and stared at the Antarctic Jaeger in mid-air, and smiled: "On the one hand, Antarctic Jaegers hope to have their own territory. Once they find that there is a "foreign" intermediary in their own territory, they will start a desperate battle with it. It is absolutely not tolerant. On the other hand, it needs to rely on the shelter of the penguin group to survive, otherwise the cubs will only be a dessert for the seals."

"The most important thing is that penguins don’t like the Antarctic skua neighbor. The Antarctic skua is the penguin’s greatest enemy. During the penguin breeding season, the Antarctic skua will guard the penguin colony every day and will often attack the penguin’s habitat by surprise. Eating penguin’s eggs and young penguins makes the birds fly and eggs, and the neighbors are uneasy."

When the people around heard it, the eyes of the bird that was looking into the air suddenly changed.

Isn't this a typical kind of gratitude and revenge?

There are such birds in the world.

Xiang Yang saw that many crew members looked at the Antarctic Skua with contempt in their eyes, and quickly added: "Don’t underestimate it. It is a seabird that can reach the southernmost point in the world. Someone has found them on the South Pole. Except for penguins, it may be the only bird that has been to the South Pole."

The survivability of the Antarctic Jaeger is really strong. It can survive indiscriminately throughout the Antarctic Circle, and it can survive tenaciously at more than one hundred degrees below zero.

Fang Youqun smacked his lips and said very contemptuously: "No wonder it is called a Jaeger, it is really correct."

Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.

Nature has always competed with natural selection for the survival of the fittest. For the continuation of the race, Xiang Yang does not think that the Jaeger has done anything wrong.

The Antarctic Skua is a blatant robber, and with this established its position in the Antarctic continent, it is dubbed the nickname "Aerial Bandit" by mankind.

They also often attack baby seals. Whenever they see a mother seal about to give birth to baby seals, groups of Antarctic skuas will always hover over the mother seal, always preparing to eliminate the danger in the cradle.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yang hurriedly said: "No, take a stick quickly and don't let it fall on our boat."

"What's wrong? Brother Yang, is it possible that this thief bird would dare to come on our boat to grab food?" Fang Youqun asked.

Xiang Yang was taken aback, "Snatching food?"

Xiang Yang suddenly remembered just now, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is on the top of the cabin of his own fishing boat, and two stigmata sea eagles are hatching bird eggs. Why are they suddenly pulled into the boat to eat?

But immediately Xiang Yang laughed, "Don't say it, this Jaegard really dared to be a human being."

Xiang Yang remembered a paper report on Antarctic Skuas he had seen before. The report said that whenever Antarctic scientific research stations or scientific research ships were carrying food in Antarctica, Antarctic Skuas would suddenly appear and hover over people's heads. .

Once food is scattered on the ground due to a damaged packing box, the Antarctic Skua will swoop down unceremoniously to grab food.

Even the picnic food carried by the scientific research personnel will be taken away by the Antarctic skua if they are not paying attention.

Because the Antarctic skua is a very precious bird, if this happens, most of the time humans can only sigh.

"But I told you to prevent it from falling on our boat. I am not afraid that it will **** our food. What we eat on board is what it likes to eat. We don’t lack a bit of bird food. I’m worried that it will be staring at those two tiger heads. The sea eagle has an egg." Xiang Yang said.
