Tigers and leopards are entrenched on land, whale sharks swim in the ocean, so who is the master of the sky?
When it comes to overlords on land and in the sea, everyone can more or less say one or two, but when it comes to who is the real "king of the sky", it is difficult for everyone to say why. This is not surprising, after all, the sky is more vast than land and sea, and it is difficult for us to contact all kinds of birds of prey on weekdays. So today let us introduce you to the world's fiercest ten birds, and let everyone see who is the "blue sky overlord" in your heart.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" > tenth peregrine falcon</h1>
When it comes to the fiercest birds in nature, many people first think of the peregrine falcon, and if nothing else, is its nickname of "fighter among birds of prey".
Indeed, although the body length of the peregrine falcon is usually only 38 to 50 cm, the wingspan is only about 95 to 115 cm, and the weight is concentrated in 1 to 2 pounds, strictly speaking, it is not even a large bird of prey, but anyone who has seen the peregrine falcon hunting will not question its attack power, when it rushes to you at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, you will deeply experience what is called "the fastest bird in the world".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" > the ninth bearded vulture</h1>
Compared with the peregrine falcon, the bearded vulture can be called a giant, the body length is at least 1 meter or more, the wingspan can reach a terrifying 3 meters, just by virtue of its huge size is enough to make countless birds who want to compete with it retreat.
This vulture, which grows widely in the mountainous regions of Central Asia and East Africa and Spain, looks very similar to eagles, not only has this feather on both legs, but also has a large hook-like beak, strong feet and sharp claws, but although it has such a unique advantage, it still does not like to catch live animals, basically relying on carrion for food, especially like to eat bones.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56" > the eighth jade belt sea eagle</h1>
The size is also not small, there are distributed in the Caspian Sea and the Yellow Sea area of the jade belt sea eagle, this large bird of prey body length is about 76 ~ 84 cm, the wingspan can reach about 250 cm, the general body feathers are divided into dark brown and brown yellow two, mixed with each other, quite beautiful, coupled with their unique wide white horizontal belt, pleasing to the eye, the recognition is also very strong.
The jade belt sea carving looks very beautiful, but if you underestimate its strength because of this, it is a big mistake, be aware that the diet of this fierce bird is not only a variety of fish, but also a large goose, a swan chick and other birds that are also waterfowl.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > seventh snow owl</h1>
Although the jade belt sea eagle looks good, there are still better-looking and more ferocious beings in the ten birds of prey, that is, the snow owl. The body length of this large owl is about 60 to 70 centimeters, and the whole body shows a snow white, and only a few people will show a dark horizontal spot, but no matter which one is matched with the golden yellow iris and black claws, it will look extremely moving.
Unlike the average owl, the snow owl not only hunts during the day, but also builds its nest on the rock, although this bird looks quite soft and cute, but their lethality is quite insufficient, not only can prey on lemmings, but occasionally not hares and large prey such as European and duck.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > the sixth African crowned eagle</h1>
If the previously introduced few are still deceptive in appearance, then the African crown eagle we will introduce next is a complete "very role", as a carving that dominates the whole of Africa. The body length of the African crowned eagle is usually about 90 cm, the wingspan is between 1.8 meters and 2.5 meters, and the weight can be as high as 4 to 5 kg.
The huge size gives it a strong strength, this bird of prey that lives in the deciduous forest of the woodland has included many mammals such as monkeys into his diet, and its strength is self-evident, because the African crown eagle has a certain aggressiveness, so it is best for people to stay away after seeing it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > fifth place war eagle</h1>
Although many of the ten birds of prey are extremely large, not every one of them relies on their size to "get away with it", for example, the war eagle we will introduce next is a typical "obviously you can eat by physical fitness, but you have to rely on superb technology to hunt".
As one of the world's longest surviving eagles, the wingspan of the war eagle can reach a maximum of about 260 cm, as the world's largest and most robust boot-footed eagle, its own diet can cover the vast majority of birds, reptiles and mammals, but it also has a unique set of hunting techniques, so that it was once a strong competitor to the world's longest bird, but unfortunately the number of this bird has declined sharply in the past few centuries, and he is already one of the most threatened birds in the world. The protection of humanity is urgently needed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > the fourth tiger-headed sea eagle</h1>
In terms of size alone, in front of the tiger-headed sea eagle we will introduce next, the several birds of prey mentioned earlier can be said to be "younger brothers". A body length of 1 meter and a wingspan of 2.5 meters may not seem like much, but the tiger head sea eagle weighs as much as 5 to 10 kilograms, which makes it the largest bird of prey over the bay.
In addition to its ferocious predatory ability and large size, this bird is also known for its hoarse voice like a tiger's roar, which is why it is called the tiger head sea eagle, and it does not live up to the name, just hearing its roar is enough to make most birds feel frightened.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" > the third ape-eating eagle</h1>
In the bird world, the tiger head sea eagle, ape eating eagle and horned eagle are called "three mangy men", which is not unreasonable, and the ape-eating eagle with a body length of 90 cm with a wingspan of 200 to 250 cm is more ferocious than the tiger head sea eagle. This fierce bird not only eats apes, but also domestic animals such as dogs and pigs, and its pecking posture is daunting, worthy of being the national bird of the Philippines.
Although the philippines is extremely high, the protection of this bird is not good, and the remaining ape-eating eagles in the world do not add up to more than 500 pairs, most of which are concentrated in the rainforest of Mindanao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="50" > second place horn carving</h1>
After talking about the tiger head sea eagle and the ape eating eagle, let's talk about the big brother horn eagle in the three mangfu. Just from the appearance, this kind of mother does not live up to the name of the big brother, nearly 1 meter body length, 2 meters of wingspan is not to say, just the two crowns on their heads are enough to show their domineering.
In fact, the strength of the horned eagle is indisputable, this bird will not only prey on lorises, spider monkeys and raccoons, sloths and other animals, along with the macaws for birds, can not "walk" their recipes, if you have the opportunity to encounter this fierce bird, or to avoid far away, because this bird is extremely dangerous, especially during the brooding period, aggression can not be underestimated.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > the first gold eagle</h1>
In the end, what I did not say is the golden eagle with a body length of nearly 1 meter and a wingspan of about 2.3 meters, and this bird of prey has a very wide range of life, which can inhabit forests, grasslands and hills, plains, and even in the desert. As the most powerful bird in the world in the hearts of many people, the golden eagle is known for its agility and good fighting, and there are only a few birds of prey in nature that can compete with the golden eagle.
What's even more frightening is that most birds of prey live alone or with their spouses, but the golden eagles will occasionally move in groups, and when the largest scale, they can even reach more than 20, can you imagine 20 golden eagles hovering above your head?
The ranking of the top ten birds of prey ends here, and this can only represent the words of one family, and everyone is welcome to express their views.
