Liu Wei: "The falcon is not only a symbol of swiftness and strength, but also a status symbol for falconers.
The Kazakhs of the steppes are not only experts in animal husbandry, but also experts in hunting. Their traditional hunting weapons, in addition to hunting dogs, were mainly falcons, and the falcon species they domesticated was the golden eagle we see today.
The golden eagle's killer feature is its claws. The golden eagle has four sharp claws on each foot.
Each one is up to 20 cm long. They are as sharp as daggers.
When the golden eagle grabs its prey, it has a special locking mechanism on its legs that prevents the claws from slipping.
I don't know if the brothers still remember the moment when the golden eagle swooped down and grabbed the Tibetan fox? Its claws pierced the fox's body, and then contracted its claws to clasp the fox's body.
The claws act like a pair of chain locks, and when the claws grasp the object, the tendons lock the claws so that the golden eagle can catch prey that is more than 10 times its own weight.
The golden eagle's claws terrify all animals, and its combat effectiveness is absolutely second to none.
Wild golden eagles may not attack wolves. But the Kazakhs have always trained eagles to chase wild wolves long distances in the steppe, creating a tradition. The trained golden eagle can chase the wolf for long distances in the grassland, and when the wolf is tired, it grabs its neck with one paw and its eyes with the other, so that the wolf loses the ability to resist.
There was news on the Internet that a golden eagle had caught more than a dozen wolves in a row.
In addition to helping their tribe hunt, the domesticated golden eagle was able to watch over the home and protect the sheep from wolves. ”
“???”
"Ah Wei, what did you say?"
"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba chants!"
"I didn't understand it, but I feel awesome!"
"Falconry is really not something that ordinary people can do!"
"Something, my eagle brother!"
Most people in the live broadcast room did not have Cheng Cheng and Liu Wei's science popularization, or they gave up understanding after listening to a few words, which felt too complicated.
They don't train falcons, why do they know so much?
The main reason is that it has too little to do with their lives, and they all come with the intention of watching the excitement.
Only a few people listened carefully to Liu Wei's popular science.
But all viewers know one thing: falconry must start with the young eagle, and the golden eagle that has matured in the wild cannot be domesticated under any circumstances.
It retains its natural unruliness.
Although it is said that it cannot be domesticated, Liu Wei wants to control it extremely strongly.
Liu Wei looked at the tired golden eagle again, its eating speed was getting slower and slower, and its stomach was slowly filled, but it was reluctant to give up the remaining fox meat, it could eat it again, because today's meal was not easy.
Liu Wei thought that he could seize this opportunity, and he removed the knee pad from his knee.
The weather on the plateau is too cold at night, and in order to ensure that his knees do not get cold, Liu Wei will wear knee pads to sleep every night.
The knee pad was put on his hand, and he felt it, it was too thin, and it was no match for the holster on the falconer's hand, and the golden eagle's claws could easily pierce his arm.
Liu Wei had an idea, picked up some dry firewood on the side and put it into the knee pads, and put a layer of cotton clothes on the outside of the knee pads.
I moved it a bit, and it felt okay.
"Ah Wei, what do you want to do?"
"Guo'er, is that you? I'm my aunt, what's wrong with your hand?"
"Upstairs drama spirit, the identification is complete!"
"Ah Wei, don't you want to domesticate it?"
"Didn't you just say that you can't domesticate it? Awei, don't go looking for death!"
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Brothers, I didn't want to domesticate it, but I want to walk it!"
After speaking, Liu Wei rushed forward directly.
The comer was not good, Liu Wei's decisive momentum of rushing forward slightly frightened the golden eagle that was eating quietly, it flew back more than ten meters, and then maintained a fighting posture and looked at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was not verbose, and quickly put the torn fox skin and flesh on the ground on the arm that was good for protection.
"Didn't eat enough, did you?" Liu Wei turned around and smiled at the golden eagle, and then ran up.
The golden eagle felt the provocation from Liu Wei, it liked to chase the prey that was running, and it happened that it had the idea of trying to take off and soar, because it was scratched by the opponent, and it did not dare to guarantee that the injured body could fly freely.
It spread its wings and took off, flying higher and higher, and after making sure that its body could withstand the vigorous movement of the dive, it adjusted its body and dived towards Liu Wei.
In its eyes, Liu Wei was as small as a hare running on the ground.
It rushed towards Liu Wei's body, Liu Wei's reaction speed was extremely fast, and it was relatively easy to dodge its claws, and after the golden eagle slid close to the ground for a distance, it soared into the air again, the same height, the same speed swooped towards Liu Wei.
Several times in a row, it was unsuccessful, and it found that it had no way to catch Liu Wei, and it had used the best state that its body could withstand at this time.
But this man is much more cunning than the fox it catches.
And the fox skin and flesh left on Liu Wei's arm were what he desperately wanted to get.
So it changed its way, instead of taking a dive attack, it lowered its flight altitude and circled above Liu Wei's head, waiting for an opportunity to peck at the flesh on Liu Wei's hands, instead of attacking Liu Wei, because it had failed many times.
Liu Wei found that the golden eagle had changed its flight mode, and he boldly stopped running, raised his arms high, and waited for the golden eagle to land on its arms.
In fact, he didn't dare to guarantee his safety, because he chose to snatch the golden eagle's food, the golden eagle's mood must be unstable, then the animal intimacy of the body could not play a role, he was just trying.
It can also be said that it is dying.
The golden eagle continued to circle, it looked down on this Liu Wei, stared at it for a long time, and found that this person would not run away because of avoiding it, but made a posture of actively feeding it.
The golden eagle did not slack off and completely gave up its combat readiness, and it quickly fell to Liu Wei's arm.
Liu Wei felt a powerful force that shook his arm, and his arm shook up and down a few times.
"Brother Diao, I don't mean anything else, you can eat with confidence, I just want you to accompany me to do the effect of the show!" Liu Wei smiled, standing in place and not moving.
The golden eagle twisted its neck at a high frequency, and a pair of sharp eyes changed between Liu Wei's face and the surrounding environment.
After making sure that Liu Wei was not moving, it pecked a few pieces of flesh, and then quickly ate the fox meat on Liu Wei's arm, and after eating, it flew away.
It remains highly alert to humans.
Liu Wei shook his arm: "My mom, it's souring me!"
“6666666”
"I've seen others walk eagles, but I've never seen Ah Wei fly a kite like this!"
"Don't say it, Ah Wei's movements just now really look like flying a kite!"
"Ah Wei is awesome!"
"My brother is still too arrogant, he doesn't like to be close to people, I haven't seen enough of it!
Liu Wei took off the simple protective gear in his hand, took out the dry firewood that was put in the knee pad, and pointed to the obvious claw marks, "Brothers, you see, these parts are pierced by the claws of the golden eagle, if I didn't do protective measures, it directly hooked my arm with its claws, and my hand should have been spent." ”
"Ah Wei, awesome, hard work!"
"Live with your life!"
"There's nothing wrong with it, the beast camp will always follow Ah Wei forward and conquer all kinds of beasts!"
