There is an old saying in human beings: born of sorrow, died of comfort.
No matter what kind of environment people are in, if they only know how to enjoy themselves in peace, they will inevitably embark on a path of destruction in the end. This applies not only to humans, but also to animals.
In the animal world, there are all kinds of beasts of prey, there are great white sharks and king squid in the ocean, lions and tigers on land, and vultures and eagles in the air.
As the king of the eagles, the Argentine giant eagle, which can hunt lions, has an extremely powerful body and a terrifying fighting power.
6 million years ago, the Argentine giant eagle was invincible among the beasts of prey, it was 1.5 meters tall, spread its wings up to seven meters long, and could weigh seventy kilograms.
It is no exaggeration to say that when the Argentine eagle soared in the air, the battle was no different from a light aircraft.
As you can imagine, when several Argentine eagles spread their wings and fly above Argentina, at first glance it looks almost the same as a column of light aircraft flying by.
The Creator is so magical that mankind has spent countless years to this day, perhaps stepping on its footprints, imitating it again and again, trying to touch the mysteries it has left on the earth.
The world's largest eagle, with wings of more than 7 meters and a weight of 70 kilograms, can hunt lions and find natural enemies
Its large size and the characteristic swiftness of birds give it a powerful advantage in hunting, or rather, the ability to dominate.
However, it was this Argentine giant eagle that eventually became extinct on the earth.
There are three main reasons for the extinction of the Argentine giant eagle.
One is that it is difficult to reproduce offspring.
In general, the Argentine giant eagle lays two eggs during the breeding period, and after incubation, the cubs will not be able to act independently until after a two-year growth period, but this does not mean that the cubs can live alone.
In fact, it will take another ten years to mature into an adult Argentine giant eagle.
Such a long growth and development cycle is destined to be rare in the breeding number of Argentine giant eagles, and coupled with the mortality rate of cubs, the cubs that can grow into the king of the beasts are even rarer.
The second is to be too content with pleasure.
Probably because "invincible is the loneliest", the Attitude of the Argentine Giant Eagle in hunting is shocking laziness.
Obviously, they can hunt lions directly, but they are too lazy to waste that effort.
However, because of its huge size and the energy consumed by ordinary animals, the Argentine giant eagle must maintain a large amount of food to ensure its survival.
Too lazy to hunt, but to eat, so what to do?
Such two preconditions have caused the Argentine giant eagle to prefer to directly find some dead animals, and after landing, it can directly cook, without more energy consumption, and can eat a full stomach.
Therefore, although the Argentine giant eagle is very fierce, its casualties to the animal kingdom are really not too large.
Third, the global climate has cooled.
When the climate gets colder, it means fewer animals survive and fewer foods to hunt.
Because of the Argentine giant eagle's long-term sluggishness in hunting, this bird of prey that can dominate the animal kingdom has gradually forgotten its ability to hunt.
When the global climate gets colder, there is less prey, the hunting ability is poor, and its survivability plummets.
You can't survive without food, and that's the simplest truth.
After indulging in pleasure, the Argentine eagle finally paid the price for the comfortable life he used to enjoy.
Poor reproductive ability, poor survivability, coupled with a sudden change in the natural climate, finally gave the Argentine giant eagle a fatal blow.
This creature, which once reigned supreme on earth, responded to the saying: born in sorrow, died in comfort, was beautiful for a while six million years ago, and finally completely extinct on the earth.
In the animal world today, the beasts of prey, birds of prey and ocean overlords that are still breeding are all experts in active hunting.
It's also interesting to think about it, such animals survived the cataclysm, and lazy animals went extinct in the cataclysm.
Just like in the human world, industrious people can always find a way to survive, but lazy people will always live a mess and finally end their confused life.
