What you would never expect is that a ferocious eagle that even a poisonous snake can easily grasp has planted a heel after encountering a magpie.
On November 4, 2020, many people saw an amazing scene over Qingdao Happy Marina City. I saw more than a dozen magpies in the sky, besieging an eagle.
According to some witnesses, at first, it was a magpie that suddenly flew towards an eagle circling in the air, and while circling with the eagle, took the opportunity to fly behind the eagle and stomped its back with its feet. After a while, a dozen magpies came from nowhere, and together they surrounded the eagle and attacked.
It is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and in this case, the fierce eagle is also defeated and retreated, taking advantage of the chaos to immediately slip out of the encirclement circle and fly towards one side.
But what I didn't expect was that the magpies were still indomitable, and it seemed that they had to have a "you die and I live" with this eagle before they were willing to give up. In the end, the eagle also immediately chose to climb to a high place, which escaped from the magpies.
Afterwards, for this matter, some experts speculated that the reason why the magpie would take the initiative to besiege the eagle was most likely that the eagle invaded their airspace, and these magpies would attack the eagles in order to protect the territory.
Coincidentally, as early as January 7, 2008, still in Qingdao, Mr. Zhai, a truck driver, saw a group of magpies chasing an eagle in the sky during the delivery.
However, the eagle seems to have been beaten to the ground, flying high and swooping low, but in any case it cannot get rid of these magpies. During this period, the eagle's feathers were also pecked off a lot by these magpies.
In the end, the eagle could not stand the attack of these magpies, and even planted itself in Mr. Zhai's van to take refuge. Unexpectedly, these magpies actually swooped down and continued to attack the eagle.
Seeing such a situation, Mr. Zhai immediately grabbed the eagle's tail and carried it to the car. According to Mr. Zhai, the last 8 magpies circled on the roof of the car for nearly 10 minutes to make sure the eagle did not appear again before leaving.
I really didn't expect that the magpie could bully the eagle into such a way, but in our impression, the eagle is not a kind of "arrogant" hunter? It should be the "king" of ordinary birds, how can it be so unbearable?
It turned out that this was no wonder to the eagle, but because the magpie was too powerful.
What you may not expect is that the magpie that is common in our lives is actually a recognized and intelligent animal.
Magpies and crows belong to the same crow family, and the IQ of the crow family is generally relatively high, and the magpie is the best of them.
Scientists have done a lot of tests on the IQ of animals, one of the more famous is a kind of "mirror test". Scientists first looked some animals in the mirror and asked them to observe their bodies.
Then, they will apply some paint to their bodies, and then observe whether the animals will look for the paint on their own body or directly scratch the paint on the "self" in the mirror.
As a result, among these animals, neither cats nor dogs passed the test, and dolphins and chimpanzees with higher IQs passed smoothly, while in crows, crows did not pass, but magpies did pass successfully. It can be seen that the IQ of magpies is very high.
In addition, at the end of 2020, there was a netizen in Zhengzhou, Henan, who even filmed a video of "magpies drinking water". Only to see that in order to drink the water in the bottle, this magpie actually knew to throw some small stones from nearby into it, and finally the magpie also successfully drank water.
You know, the reason why human beings can dominate the earth is not by brute force, but by intelligence. Therefore, magpies are the same when facing eagles, although they are relatively small, they will use their agility to circumvent the eagles. Moreover, they will also specially pick the eagle's weaker defenses to attack, and defeat the opponent psychologically step by step.
In addition, the magpie itself is a social animal and is more united. Therefore, when one magpie encounters danger, other magpies will immediately rush to help when they see it. This is the same as the tiger will not rush to attack the wolves, which is a reason. Moreover, because of their social behavior, they may also share a lot of tricks to defeat each other.
Finally, although magpies feel weak in our minds, their temperament is actually very fierce, and their sense of revenge is extremely strong, and if they are provoked by anyone, they will not give up. It is also because of these characteristics that some people refer to magpies as "flat-headed brothers in the air", which can be seen how powerful they are.
Therefore, in the laws of nature, in the end, one thing drops one thing, which really has to make people sigh, the magic of nature.
