Chapter 550: Feeding the Pelican Fish

"Damn, I saw them so close just now, I wanted to have a sweet and romantic relationship, you told me they were both male?"

"It's over, the beautiful image of the swan in my heart has collapsed!"

Fang Ye coughed twice: "Eh, it's normal and normal, homosexual behavior is actually not unique to us.

In birds and mammals, homosexual behavior is common. Among birds, storks and geese are the most homosexual, such as swans, where one-fifth of males will be with the same sex.

First of all, they prefer to breed in groups, and the nests of different swan families are not far from the breeding grounds.

The fluff has not yet faded The little swans, and when they meet the neighbors' children, they will compete for the position of the little overlord, and they will not accept it.

In battle, they will form alliances with each other, and this kind of comradeship that fights side by side may develop into a love that lasts a lifetime when they grow up.

This kind of love does not have real mating behavior, which is what we call 'platonic love'. If one party steps on the other party's back and intends to do something for real, they will be met with fierce resistance, and a relationship may break down.

Maybe the old husband and wife who have been together for a few years will have a higher degree of patience, but it is only limited to stepping on the back. ”

"Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death."

"Other birds still have mates, you don't even have a mate (fog)......"

"Sure enough, the opposite sex is only for reproduction, and the same sex is true love!"

"I used to raise pigeons, and the two male pigeons really built a nest like a husband and wife, except that they didn't lay eggs, and they were no different from other pigeon families."

Fang Ye said: "Two male swans can actually reproduce!" They are more competitive together, occupy a larger territory, and female swans are attracted to them, and male swans mate with females to lay eggs.

After laying eggs, the female swans will be driven away, and the two male swans will raise the offspring, and even sometimes, even the step of luring the female swans is omitted, and the nests of other swan couples are directly picked to drive them away, and the nest and eggs are occupied together. ”

"emmm, scumbag cheating marriage?"

"It's too bad, robbing other people's children."

"Damn, isn't this the same as a cuckoo!"

"After learning about this, I suddenly don't like swans so much......"

Whether it is the beautiful image of the swan at first sight, or the various literary works about the swan, everyone's impression of the swan is very good, beautiful and loyal.

It was a little hard to accept for a while.

Some people also expressed calmness: "I have already seen it!" What is a symbol of love, to put it bluntly, we humans put it on them, the swans are like that, and the mandarin ducks, the scumbags who run away after mating. ”

Fang Ye explained: "There is nothing good or bad, animals act according to their own instincts, only we have morality, and we can't use human moral standards to evaluate animals."

People believe that swans are monogamous and never separated, and even if one party dies, the other party will not live alone, and they are regarded as a symbol of love.

In fact, swans will also get divorced, but only 5%-10%, compared to the average divorce rate of 40% of our human beings, it is indeed very loyal and worthy of our admiration.

Long-term and stable partnership relationship is determined by their own conditions, some small birds, originally not long-lived, if they do not live for the second year, what is the point of loyalty?

Only birds with large size and long lifespan will form this ideal relationship that we humans consider loyal and romantic.

Wild swans can generally live for 20-30 years, long lifespan, which means a long nursery period, it takes 6 months for baby swans to learn to fly, and adult birds also fall in the nursery period when they moult in summer, so male and female moulting is staggered. In order to ensure that there is a fly and a fight when taking care of the baby, it is important for them to have a long-term stable spouse. ”

"Posture up!"

After listening to this, I looked at the pair of swans swimming leisurely in the lake, and I had some different feelings.

When I was a child, I liked to watch swans, but I didn't realize that I didn't know about them at all.

But looking at them now, I still think they're beautiful.

After Fang Ye finished talking to netizens, he called the keeper of the waterfowl lake and asked the keeper to bring some fish.

Netizens were curious: "Do you want to feed the swans?" ”

When the keeper brought the bucket with the small crucian carp, the crucian carp were still alive and swimming in it.

Fang Ye showed the camera and said, "It's not to feed the swans, it's to feed the pelicans." They were fed live small crucian carp, about two taels each.

The swan's diet is mainly aquatic plants, seeds, shoots and small fish, shrimp and shellfish, although they eat fish, but they are too big to eat, usually feed them vegetable leaves, carrots, chopped eggs and beef, as well as waterfowl pellets made of corn and barley fish meal. ”

He came to the lake with a bucket and shouted, "Dinner!" ”

It was useless to shout, and Fang Ye threw the little crucian carp in the direction of the pelican.

The little crucian carp spun in the air for three and a half weeks, and when it landed in the lake, it instantly swung its tail and tried to get into the depths of the water.

Am I free?

Although the pelican's movements on the shore are clumsy, they are very quick in the water.

He quickly turned and swam two steps, towards the place where the fish had fallen into the water, and his mouth was wide open, like a big net thrown towards the fish, and like a sharp sword, it was inserted into the water with a "whoosh".

It's like a peerless master with a big sword, using the water-splitting sword technique, bringing up a string of water droplets!

The fish was lifted up, and the fish and water entered the pelican's big mouth together, and everyone was dazzled!

The crucian carp was in its mouth, and its tail was still wagging unwillingly.

The pelican's head lifted, and with a slight toss upward, the little crucian carp fell into the throat pouch.

After the fish is loaded into the throat sac, the throat sac contracts and the excess water is squeezed out.

Through the throat pouch, you can see that there is a fish inside, struggling and twisting its body.

The pelican then tossed it twice, adjusted the angle of the fish, and swallowed it through the neck.

"Wow, 666666!"

"It's kind of amazing."

"Swallow it directly!"

Fang Ye said with a smile: "Zhuangzi said that fish are not afraid of nets, but pelicans, have you seen it now?" When pelicans fish, they swallow the fish with water, and after swallowing, they close their mouths and squeeze out the water. If you can't eat the fish and shrimp for a while, the big mouth can also be used as a storage cabinet. ”

Two more fish were thrown, and the nearby pelicans swam over, opening their mouths wide and grabbing each other's food.

Some pelicans swam directly out of the water and staggered towards Fang Ye's side.

A meter or two in front of him, just look at him fixedly.

"Okay, I'll get you one too!"

The pelican opens its mouth wide and swallows it unceremoniously!

Tourists also showed surprise when they saw the scene of pelicans eating fish here, and they picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.

Seeing that their mouths are so big, I didn't expect them to be used like this.

After feeding the fish, I took netizens around for a while.

Fang Ye waved his hand and said, "It's almost time, let's broadcast it here today, everyone 88~"

"Goodbye, Principal!"
