The females and males of this bird are easily distinguished, with the male having a bright yellow beak and the female having a dull yellowish green beak.

Not like the familiar dive bomber
The King of Sand Sculpture fishes in a way that is quite different. How do you fish? Hey, simple and rough dry is the end, put the fish stun it is not the end of it! Its vision supports its ability to spot fish in the water at a height of 100 meters, and then rush into the water like a cannonball, with a gravity speed of up to 97 miles per hour
Look at this posture is not beautiful
The violent impact on the surface of the water produced a violent shock wave that stunned the fish... What about after the shock? Of course, the harvest is full. Look at this king of sand sculptures, people are taking life and a bo for a bite to eat, we all know that the role of force is mutual, this goods in order to eat, not afraid, broke the neck. When the fish is in a state of 13, dive into the water and feast.
Come in love? There are houses and cars and deposits, which is the standard for human mate selection. Foot beauty I'll talk to you about. Blue-footed booby in love do not want to look at the car, then you asked, what do you want? People blue-footed have one condition, look at the feet.
In order to highlight the beauty of the feet to attract the opposite sex, in front of the opposite sex, it will constantly arch its back and dance a dance with one foot. But it's not surprising that people have foot control. The more gorgeous and beautiful the color of the feet, the stronger the fishing skills, where is the foot control, in the end, the strength is greater than everything!
Although people say that they look like sand sculptures... But in terms of chasing the object, people are open-minded. Courtship is tough? Then the devil's steps come to a set: courtship dance, please do this with me! Left foot jump ~ right foot jump ~ one foot jump jump together! Jump a decade less. Neck twist, ass twist, twist to a girlfriend ~
There are no nostrils, this one is a bit fierce, and the nostrils are eliminated when evolution . Breathing is all with one mouth, why? Just to make fishing more efficient. Ditching the nostrils and only breathing with the mouth can prolong the breathing time under the water, so that you have a chance to catch more fish! The blue-footed booby said.
Brutal competition is reduced to a spare tire
When the parents are breeding, they lay two eggs in a nest. The bird's mother said, "Only lay one egg, in case of accidental death, it will be cold." One more spare, insurance! Well, this sad spare tire is the bird two When the family conditions are good and the food is sufficient, the two baby birds are shaking is the treasure of the parents. When there was not enough food to feed the two of them, the eldest, believing in his own size, began to rob the second eldest of his food. And the bird father and mother will only look at me coldly, watching the bird old man starve to death, and the bird old man two: "Why do you want to do this to me?" Silly kid, you were just a spare tire. are a big family, and blue-footed are just one of them.
"I can summon my brothers and sisters to you in minutes!" Let's look at its relatives.

Ape-eating eagle
Eagles are the dominant birds that dominate the sky on Earth today, and they are very large compared to other birds, and they have sharp eyes and claws, and they are full of birds of prey. The largest eagle species living on Earth today are ape-eating eagles from the Philippines. Their wingspan can reach 2.5 meters, and they feed on hunting apes, monkeys are not small, and they have a certain IQ, which shows the strength of ape-eating eagles.
The adult ape-eating eagle has a body length of about 1 meter, and the wingspan can reach 2.5 meters, and the key adult standing in front of it will be terrified.
Ape eating eagle is the largest surviving eagle, replacing the Haast eagle that was extinct 500 years ago, when searching for the world's largest eagle, the result given by Du Niang is the horned eagle, looking at the introduction of the diagonal eagle, the wingspan is about 2 meters, and the text also specifically points out that the Philippine ape-eating eagle is larger than the horned eagle, so the ape-eating eagle is currently the largest eagle.
The name of the ape-eating eagle is that it is very ferocious when pecking at monkeys, so it is called "monkey-eating eagle", of course, other small animals are also its food, because the monkey is too flexible, the ape-eating eagle in order to prevent the monkey from escaping, so it must be fierce! As the world's largest eagle, the ferocity of the ape-eating eagle is conceivable, and there is such a principle that "the air force has an absolute advantage over the army", and it is the inescapable nemesis of various monkeys, snakes, civet cats and other arboreal animals! Although it is called an ape-eating eagle, it does not only feed on monkeys, it can catch animals in its sight are its prey, and even some daring ape-eating eagles fly near the village to hunt dogs, pigs and other domestic animals. If the ape-eating eagle is angry, it is immediately "angry and rushes to the crown", the crown feathers of the head are high and semi-circular, and the hunting method is also somewhat cruel, the ape-eating eagle first pecks at the eyes of the blind prey, and tears it into pieces to fill the hunger.
In 1894, when a British naturalist was investigating the tropical jungle of Samar Island in the Philippines, he first discovered this fierce bird that liked to prey on monkeys, and collected its specimen, which after some careful study, named it an ape-eating eagle. But due to deforestation and poaching, this precious animal has not escaped the fate of gradually becoming extinct. The adult birds of the ape-eating eagle do not have the ability to reproduce until the age of 7, and only breed once every 2 years, each nest lays only one egg, the survival rate is extremely low, and each ape-eating eagle needs a certain range of territory to forage, but the habitat is constantly destroyed by human development According to the survey, the ape-eating eagle is expected to become extinct within 60 years, and it is listed in the "IUCN" critical danger. Although it is the most ferocious bird of prey, the overlord of the sky, as the climate changes. Human greed. In the end, it could not escape the fate of extinction
