The sun passed through the clouds and mist in the sky, and its temperature could hardly be felt, and the sun had set in the sky at this moment, and it would not be long before the ridge would be covered in darkness and the climate would become even colder.

"Let's go, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, we can't stay long, we must find a place to camp at night." Chen Luofeng, as the team leader, was the first to control the appreciation of the beautiful scenery.

However, before everyone could leave, there was a sound of birds chirping in the sky, and when I looked up, many wild birds flew towards this mountain forest from the distant sky, no, it should be this canyon.

"Hey, the flock of birds flying in the sky should be snow pigeons, and there are some birds of prey chasing them behind!" Mu Kang pointed to the flock of birds and said loudly.

The snow pigeon is a bird of the genus Pigeonidae.

The body is about 35 centimeters, and the plumage is similar to that of a red-headed gull; head dark gray; collar, lower back and lower body white; Brown gray on the back, black on the waist; tail black, with a broad white band in the middle; Wing grey with two black horizontal stripes. iris - yellow; mouth - dark gray, waxy magenta; Bright red feet and toes. Claw black. Juveniles are similar to adults, but have narrow pale yellow feathers on their upper bodies and wings.

They inhabit the alpine hanging rock area at an altitude of 2000~4000 meters, and also appear in bare rock valleys and rock walls at high altitudes. They tend to move in groups and feed mainly on plant foods such as grass seeds, wild leguminous seeds, and berries.

And the bird of prey Gu Hongyu who was chasing after them carefully observed for a while, which made him very happy, if he was not mistaken, the raptor should be the jade-banded sea eagle, which is a very rare species in China now, and it is very lucky to see it here.

The jade-banded sea eagle is a large bird of prey, with a length of 76-84 cm, a wingspan of 200-250 cm, and a male weighing 2100-3700 grams. Females weigh 2000-3300 grams. The mouth is slightly thinner, the head is elongated, and the neck is longer. In the air, its wings are 2 meters long, and it has a pair of fierce glowing eyes.

They inhabit the open areas of high-altitude river valleys, mountains, and grasslands, and often hunt for prey near deserts, grasslands, mountain lakes and rivers, and sometimes fly over fishing villages and farmland near waters. The active altitude is between 3,200 and 4,700 meters above sea level.

It feeds mainly on fish and waterfowl, and often catches a variety of waterfowl on the surface of the water, such as geese, swan chicks and other birds. In grasslands and desert areas, rodents such as marmots, yellow rats, pikas and pikas are the main food, and even lambs are sometimes eaten occasionally.

Just when Gu Hongyu was thinking back to the data of the jade belt sea eagle, the sound of 'clicking' had already sounded around him, needless to say that other people were capturing the wonderful moment of the sea eagle hunting.

Usually, these snow pigeons do not have the magic eye of the sea eagle at all, maybe the sea eagle is feeding the offspring during this time or some are hungry, anyway, those snow pigeons are unlucky. After a while, I only saw an accurate piercing of the jade-belted sea eagle, and then a snow pigeon screamed miserably and was tightly grasped by the sharp claws of the sea eagle and could not move.

The remaining snow pigeons can be regarded as picking up a small life for the rest of their lives, and they can't care about the humans standing on the ridge to take pictures, so they rush into the canyon from a low altitude of less than 20 meters from the crowd.

Looking at the direction in which the snow pigeon flew away, Gu Hongyu guessed that the canyon should be their nest!

As the battle in the air ended, in Gu Hongyu's spiritual power induction, the basin below and the woods under the ridge seemed to come to life at once.

In the basin. Many animals that sleep during the day and move at night start their day, coming out of their burrows in search of food at sunset.

Other animals that go out during the day are also starting to return to their nests. Argali, rock sheep, snow pheasant, Tibetan snow pheasant, horned lark, and even Mu Kang pointed to a deer mixed with the argali, and said in surprise: "Damn, I finally saw the white-lipped deer with my own eyes, that guy must be the white-lipped deer!" ”

The white-lipped deer is a precious specialty animal in China and is regarded as a "sacred deer" in the place of origin. It is also an ancient species, and its fossils have been found in strata as early as the late Pleistocene.

The white-lipped deer is a mountain animal that lives in alpine regions. It is distributed at a high altitude and is active in forest shrubs, shrublands and alpine meadows and steppe areas at 3500-5000 meters, especially in the woodline area. They can migrate horizontally up to 100-200 km due to food and water or because they are hunted. In general, though. They wander relatively permanently around a large mountain with abundant aquatic plants and shrubs.

In 2003, the world's largest wild population of white-lipped deer was discovered in Gan~Zi~Tibet~Tibet~Zi~Zhi~Prefecture of Si~Sichuan Province, with a total of more than 5,000 heads. But in these places in the Qilian Mountains, I have not heard of anyone seeing a large herd of white-lipped deer.

However, just when Mu Kang was very excited, Gu Hongyu keenly noticed that there was a herd of deer running from a farther away, and that group of deer was composed of white-lipped deer, and it was estimated that the number was almost thousands!

Patting Mu Kang's shoulder, Gu Hongyu pointed to the deer herd that gradually appeared in front of everyone: "Hello, look over there, there are more excited about you!" ”

Everyone held digital equipment to take pictures of the deer herd, and then Liang Qinghui said frankly: "These guys are all primitive, why don't we go down and play one as the main dish tonight?" ”

"Damn, you big foodie, you want to eat everything you see, but you don't have to count on these, the white-lipped deer is extremely alert, as long as you find a little wind and grass, you will immediately flee this area, if you want to fight them, you have to go after the white-lipped deer rests in the middle of the night!" Mu Kang said angrily.

However, Gu Hongyu knows that now the Chinese white-lipped deer have been raised in captivity, and if there is a chance this time, he must tempt a few white-lipped deer to return to Honghu Village.

Wanting to catch the white-lipped deer is just Liang Qinghui's words, it is so difficult to climb the ridge, watching the sky gradually darken, he can't spend so much energy for food, and finally everyone can only watch the white-lipped deer and other argali, rock sheep flock gradually run to another mountain peak corner back to the habitat.

Some small snowcocks and horned larks also returned to their nests in the basin, and in the darkness of the sky, the land gradually returned to peace.

But this is only the surface, Gu Hongyu's spirit still follows the group of large herbivores, until this group of herbivores no longer moves, just when he is about to withdraw his spiritual power, a guy who makes people feel defensive appears in his spiritual power, this animal is one of the few top creatures in the Qilian Mountains, the snow leopard.
