Chapter 130: The Golden Eagle and the Harpe
Seeing that the golden bird of prey above that was successfully attacked by sneak attack, its wings spread, and it turned around and was about to dive downward, chasing the guy who dared to sneak attack it.
Qin Xu didn't have time to think about it, so he aimed slightly and pulled the trigger decisively. Grandma, you still don't give up, right, such a powerful and handsome bird of prey, you can't be killed like this.
"Bang !!"
A dull and heavy gunshot resounded in the sky in the empty mountain forest.
In the blue sky, the golden bird of prey, which had just turned around and was about to dive downward, suddenly slammed its body.
Two or three seconds later, just as Qin Xu was about to put down his gun to celebrate his victory. Its wide wings fluttered a few times at once, and this time it didn't go any further, and it turned around again and leaned quickly towards its two companions.
Qin Xu looked at the three birds of prey in the sky and was a little embarrassed, just now he saw that the guy paused, and thought he had hit.
Just as he was about to continue to test his hand with another shot, he saw the three golden birds of prey in the sky, after circling the sky quickly a few times, slowly flying towards the depths of the mountain range.
Smashing his mouth, Qin Xu put away the gun with some pity. Xiaobai, who was on the side, unaffected by the gunshot, rode up. Quickly rushed towards the place where the two black and white birds of prey had landed.
On the way, Qin Xu held the reins with one hand, and took out the mobile phone in his pocket with the other, he was going to check what these guys were about.
The first thing to check was the three golden birds of prey, and after entering all the body characteristics, Qin Xu looked at the results of the investigation, and his forehead was a little sweaty.
I really don't know if I don't check it, and I'm shocked when I check it. The three birds of prey with golden wings are the golden eagles that often appear in novels.
The golden eagle is a jet-brown eagle of the eagle family. It has golden spear-pointed neck feathers, dark eyes, yellow iris, gray beak, feathered legs, thick, yellow feet, and huge claws. The wingspan reaches 2.3 meters (nearly 8 feet). It is the national bird of Mexico.
In North America, golden eagles are found in central Mexico along the Pacific coast and through the Rocky Mountains north to Alaska and Newfoundland.
Most importantly, the golden eagle is in the United States, which is protected by federal decree. It is a bird protected by the HSD Convention.
If he was really shot down by Qin Xu just now, his own trouble would definitely not be small.
"It's okay, it's okay, thanks to my bad marksmanship. ”
Qin Xu sighed and continued to check the information of a bird of prey. It was the first time he was so glad that his marksmanship was not accurate.
After entering the information of the black and white raptor, Qin Xu looked at the information that appeared on the screen of his mobile phone and was stunned again.
"Damn, how could this guy be here?" Qin Xu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It turns out that this is the legendary horned eagle, also known as the Harpe eagle, which is one of the largest birds of prey in the world, almost half the height of a human.
Female horned eagles are on average 108 cm long, have a wingspan of 200 cm wide, and weigh 6.5-9 kg. Only the ape-eating eagle and the Steller's sea eagle have a similar body size. But the horned eagle has a shorter wingspan. The male eagle weighs only about 3.8-5.4 kilograms.
The horned eagle is so named because of the two towering black feathers on its head, and the special shape and body color give it a sense of mystery.
Eh, Qin Xu looked at the introduction on Google, and then looked at the photo of the front of the horned carving, and almost stopped laughing, this is a sense of mystery?
Looking at the flat face, no matter how Qin Xu looks at this horn carving, he has a strong middle two style!
And in the late 20th century, due to the destruction of the habitat of the horned eagle due to human deforestation, coupled with the killing of poachers, the horned eagle is now very rare, and has been closely watched by ecological organizations such as the International Union for Bird Conservation.
The IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, based in Switzerland) listed it as a red endangered species in 2006.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists horned eagles as near threatened, while the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora states that they are on the verge of extinction. According to the Peregrine Fund, they are conservation-dependent species that require conservation work such as rearing, releasing and protecting habitats.
After Qin Xu finished reading the introduction, his heart was like 10,000 *** rushing by. Brother still wants to take this guy home as a pet, how can it be a protected animal, and it's also endangered.
Looking up at the golden eagles who were already three small dots left, Qin Xu shouted strongly in his heart, why didn't you guys get beaten down, although it was very troublesome to kill you, but there was no problem in raising you.
While Qin Xu was checking the information, Xiao Bai carried him through several woods, turned over several small mounds, and soon came to the place where the two Harpe eagles landed.
It was a large open space, surrounded by the kind of maples, metasequoias, and pines that needed to be hugged by two people. And the two huge Harpe eagles were in the open space on the side at the moment.
One of them was visibly injured in the wings and could not stand on the ground, and was lying on his side and fell to the ground. The other Harpe eagle, which was chasing down, could only be in a hurry on the sidelines.
"Hmmm..."
Watching a man and a horse slowly approaching, the uninjured Hape Eagle suddenly let out a loud eagle cry, staring at Qin Xu with two sharp eyes, and his wings were also waving unconsciously, and he felt like he was taking off and pounced on at any time.
Pulling the reins, Xiaobai slowly stopped, snorted, and looked at the big bird in front of him with some curiosity. I don't know what the owner is looking for it, and I can't fly with the owner!
Qin Xu carefully looked at the huge and vigilant Harpe Eagle in front of him, the feathers on the upper body were gray-black, and the lower body was white. There is a black space on the chest and from the neck. The head is pale gray with two crowns.
With a sharp hook-like beak and strong claws almost as large as a human hand, it is estimated to be the only bird of prey in the world.
And the sharp nails are up to 12 centimeters long, and they look extremely sharp. According to online information, the small claws of the Hape carving have a grip of 50 kilograms. It can easily crush the skull of its prey and pierce through a thick iron plate.
Looking at the Hape carving that could pounce at any time, Qin Xu couldn't care about it so much, whether it could be raised or not, catch it first and then talk about the rest.
Thinking of this, Qin Xu was no longer lazy, turned on the system, and threw the capture techniques one after another. I don't even look at the failed tips.,Just keep throwing the catch.。
Looking at the eyes of the Ha Pei Eagle in front of him, from the beginning of the sharp, to now slowly become softer. Qin Xu was overjoyed in his heart, he was about to succeed!
