It is estimated that friends who like to watch animal pictures on the Internet are no strangers to them, they are a very fierce bird, often eat penguins, seals, and other birds, the face is full of blood and make their own and zombies, this is the [giant shearwater Macronectes sp] (also known as the petrel) from the southern polar region of the earth
Here is a brief introduction to this amazing big zombie bird~
(1) First of all, there are two kinds of giant shearwaters, the southern giant shearwater and the northern giant shearwater, but I don't see any special difference, so I don't make a distinction, they are hyenas in the Antarctic region, and they can also be said to be scavenger vultures in Antarctica, which play a good role in maintaining the ecosystem, don't think that there are no pests and diseases when the temperature in Antarctica is low, they ~︎ ✌( ᐛ )︎ ✌
(2) Giant shearwater has a strong scavenging ability, and the animal carcasses on the shore are often swept away by them, of course, they actually prefer to eat live food, from fish, little penguins, small seagulls and even small seals whose mothers are not there are their big love~ In fact, giant shearwaters can play a good role in the survival of the fittest, and the small animals under the vitality of the ground will be taken away by them, keeping the genes of the Antarctic species strong ~ (˵ ̄͒ ̄͒〰˵)
(3) What's even more interesting is that the giant shearbird is a bit like a hamster! They will keep a part of the fat in the body of the animal they eat and keep it in their esophagus, which has three functions, the first can be used as a defensive weapon when encountering an opponent, you can't guess it, it's like an alpaca spitting that catches people off guard... Second, you can use it as milk in a bottle to feed your young birds, which is a bit like pigeon milk, semi-digested food is more suitable for babies to eat, and can also help chicks establish a good intestinal flora ~ The third is even more wonderful, they can actually use the retained food in the esophagus as an additional nutritional reserve during a long journey, which is equivalent to increasing the stomach capacity. (✧∇✧)
Postscript: Although I see the network map, the giant shearwater is usually a blur of flesh and blood, but the giant smain has always been friendly to humans, humans often anthropomorphize animals, and divide animals into good and bad, in fact, any wild animal is an indispensable part of nature, no matter what behavior they do, in fact, there is no malicious intent, but sometimes unpredictable (っ ̆зʕ•̫͡•ʔ
