22. The Lonely King (7) (Final)
Early the next morning, Yang Wu, who had eaten and drunk enough, continued to move forward.
As for the remaining bones and food scraps, Yang Wu looked at the vultures that had been hovering in the sky for a long time, and left it to these scavengers with a nose larger than that of a dog Turin.
The vulture is a large bird of prey with a body length of between 108-120cm. Young vulture birds are lighter in color than adults, with bare-bare heads, which are easy to identify.
Vultures inhabit rocky meadows, valley streams and forest edges in low hills and alpine heaths and forests, and are often solitary and occasionally in small groups, especially in places where food is abundant.
Vultures feed on the carcasses of large animals and often soar over open, bare mountains and plains to peep at the carcasses. They also occasionally fly low in the mountains, actively attacking small and medium-sized mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds, and sometimes domestic animals.
Vultures are mainly found in northwest Africa, southern Europe, Spain, southern France, Romania, the Balkan Peninsula, east through Asia Minor, northern Arabia, Central Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, western Himalayas, India, Mongolia, the former Soviet Turkestan, Tajikistan, Altai, and southern Siberia.
The vulture is the largest bird of prey on the plateau, with a wingspan of more than 2 meters and a width of 0.6 meters (the largest can reach more than 3 meters).
Adult vultures have dark brown down feathers from forehead to posterior occipital cover, the hind head is long and dense, and the feathers are also lighter, with sparse black-brown hairy short feathers on the side of the head, cheeks, and ears, and the eyes are first covered with black-brown slender feathers, and the upper part of the back neck is bare and featherless, lead-blue, and the base of the neck has long light brown to dark brown feathers formed by wrinkled feathers, some of which are embellished with white
The vulture's bare head can easily reach into the abdomen of a carcass, and the base of the vulture's neck has a long ring of feathers, which acts like a human napkin to prevent the feathers from being soiled when eating corpses. The upper body is dark brown from the back to the tail, the tail is slightly wedge-shaped, dark brown, the feather shaft is black, the primary flight feathers are black-brown with metallic luster, and the upper wing feathers and the rest of the flight feathers are dark brown. The lower body is dark brown, the forechest is densely covered with black-brown hairy feathers, each side has a bunch of fluffy spear-like long feathers, the abdomen is decorated with pale longitudinal stripes, the anal and tail feathers are pale grayish-brown or brownish-white, and the leg feathers are dark brown to black-brown.
The vulture's beak is powerful, and its hooked beak has become so powerful that it can easily peck and tear through tough hides and drag heavy entrails out due to the need to eat corpses.
Among birds of prey, the vulture's ability to fly is relatively weak, and it will have an energy-saving way of flying - gliding.
These big-winged birds roam leisurely over the barren mountains and mountains, using their unique sensations to catch the upward warm air currents that are invisible to the naked eye.
They rely on the updrafts of warm air and continue to rise comfortably in order to fly farther away. When flying, the wings are stretched out in a straight line, and the wings rarely agitate, but can use the air currents to soar in the air for a long time, and when a corpse is found on the ground, fly nearby to feed.
Vultures are often solo, occasionally in small groups of 3-5 individuals, with the largest flocks reaching more than 10 individuals, especially in areas where food is abundant.
They are active during the day, often soaring and gliding leisurely at high altitudes, and sometimes flying at low altitudes.
Vultures soar and glide with their wings stretched out, their primary flight feathers spread out into fingers, and their wingends droop slightly downward. When resting, stand on protruding rocks, telephone poles, or dead branches at the top of trees.
Vultures mostly eat the carcasses of mammals. Because mammals usually congregate together when they rest on plains or meadows. When the vulture learns this rule, it pays special attention to animals lying alone on the ground. Once it has spotted a target, it carefully observes their movements. If the opponent doesn't move, it continues to hover in the air to watch. This observation takes a long time, at least about two days. During this time, if the animal is still motionless, it flies a little lower to see from close range whether the other's belly is undulating and whether the eyes are moving. If there was still no movement, the vultures began to land near the corpse and silently walked towards each other. at
At this time, it hesitated, not only eager to do it, but also afraid of being deceived and plotted. It opens its mouth, stretches its neck, and spreads its wings ready to take off.
The vulture came closer, and when it made a "grunt" sound, and when it saw that the other party did not respond, it pecked at the corpse with its beak, and immediately jumped away again. At this point, it examined the body again. If the other party still did not move, the vulture relented, and at once pounced on the corpse and devoured it.
Just as Yang Wu was moving forward, the B B C radio station posted an edited short video on its official website.
This short film is not long, only about a minute and a half long.
At the beginning of the short film, Yang Wu appeared in the distance, and with super-burning music, the rhythm and drum beat just corresponded to Yang Wu's pace, and the already energetic pace seemed more and more shocking!
Followed by the encounter and confrontation between Yang Wu and the Lion Group of Malihada, the music here is tense and exciting, and the shots here are changeable, and the scenes are edited from multiple angles together, and the atmosphere is set off to the extreme!
Then Yang Wu slapped Pegasus, here is a slow motion, you can clearly see the thrilling moment, Yang Wu raised his right leg and slapped the position and the heavily injured Mali body twisted out, this moment the drum beat was shocking, the soundtrack was passionate, and there was a kind of invincible momentum!
Immediately after that, Yang Wu flew into Hada by an iron mountain! The music suddenly stopped here, so that people could clearly hear the sound of broken bones, shocking and terrifying!
In the end, Yang Wu stood proudly beside Mali who was prostrate on the ground, and after glancing at it with disdain, Shi Shiran walked into the distance, leaving only a back of this lens that was fading away.
The music here seems to be the feelings of the film crew, and it is accompanied by the chorus of the theme song "Can you feel the love tonight" from the cartoon "The Lion King".
As this back faded away, the chorus sounded
“And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best”
The short film is about to end here in the back, but at the end there is a scene of the filming crew of the B B C radio station.
"As we watched this young king go away, we couldn't help but think of the Lion King Simba, maybe it was just missing a "Nana" now, and I hope that the next time we see it again, it will no longer be a lonely king!"
