I remember that there was a slogan in the slag cave called "What the chief did not see, hear, think, and do, we will see, hear, think, and do for the chief." I don't know why, facing the Panamanian monkey-eating eagle, I suddenly thought of this passage.
"The footage of The Monkey Eater Eating the Little Monkey was a childhood nightmare, but fortunately the sheriff sent a helicopter unit to arrest him."
"Shouldn't the monkey-eating eagle be the monkey-eating eagle that was captured alive by the black cat sheriff?"
"Black Cat Sheriff", before Chinese animation fell to the realm of "Huluwa", was a popular masterpiece, broadcast in 1984, popular throughout the 1990s - friends who discussed this issue also exposed their age. Whether it is the black cat sheriff as a positive character, the white pigeon detective, or the negative one ear and eating cat and mouse, it is impressive.
"Big Brother Monkey Eater" is a horror character who appears in the second episode of "Black Cat Sheriff". It suddenly appeared in the house of the small animals in the thunderstorm, snatched the little monkeys, and even the captain of the white pigeon who tracked it was injured by it, until the black cat sheriff himself came out on the horse, used advanced technology to find out its identity, and formulated corresponding tactics, and finally captured the strange eagle alive.
So, is panama's national bird the prototype of the "criminal bird" in "Black Cat Sheriff"? Needless to say, this image really doesn't look like a good bird.
It bears some resemblance to the masked monkey-eating eagle in the film
Panama's national bird horn eagle, because of the large number of primates in its diet, has been nicknamed "monkey-eating eagle". But this is just a nickname, the scientific name of this bird of prey is Hape Eagle, and Hape is the messenger of death in Greek mythology who is half-human, half-eagle.
The image of Hape is today the coat of arms of the German city of Nuremberg
Therefore, the official name of the Panamanian Cape eagle should be called the Eagle of Death, which is more in line with the local ordinary people's view of this kind of large bird with a wingspan of two meters.
It is as ferocious and agile as the monkey-eating eagle in Sheriff Of The Black Cat, with a grip of 140 kilograms in its claws. Compared to the larger but predominantly scavenger Andean condor, the horned eagle is the active hunter, and almost all the animals in Mesoamerica can not escape its sudden blow. However, it is not actually the "Monkey Eater Eagle Big Brother" in the cartoon, the prototype of that guy is someone else.
So, what kind of animal can play the role of the big brother of the monkey-eating eagle?
Let's take a look at the following face.
The eyes are sparkling, but also a little cruel and mysterious
Compare the monkey-eating eagle in "Sheriff Black Cat", the moment when the sheriff reveals his true image
Now, you know who it is, right?
This ferocious and exotic bird of prey, produced in Mindanao, Southeast Asia, the scientific name is "Philippine Eagle", is the national bird of the Philippines, is also known for eating monkeys, so there is a similar name to the horned eagle, called "monkey-eating eagle". It is also a distant relative of the horned eagle, but the recipe is not limited to monkeys. The Philippine hawk preys on raw and cold, from bats as small as ten grams to Filipino deer weighing dozens of pounds, which may become its prey. Because a pair of large Philippine eagles usually need a hunting range of 100 square kilometers, and only lay one egg a year, their reproductive ability is very rare, and the number of Philippine eagles is now counted, and fewer than two hundred pairs live in the world.
The Philippine eagle is fierce and athletic, making it one of the largest birds of prey in the world. According to a survey of specimens in the collections of natural museums around the world, the average female is 105 cm tall and the male is 95 cm (the Philippine eagle and the horned eagle share the same characteristic, that is, the female is more powerful and tall than the male), and the wingspan can reach 3 meters. Its hook beak is a tragic symbol for monkeys – when the Philippine eagle catches a monkey, it often first pecks at the blind monkey's eyes with its hook beak, making it impossible to escape, and then pecking through the top of its head to kill it.
An African crowned eagle of a long-tailed monkey was captured
Among birds of prey, in addition to horned eagles and Filipino eagles, African crowned eagles also like to feed on monkeys, as was the case millions of years ago. It is conceivable that primates, including ancient apes, fled the trees in order to escape the attack of the beasts on the ground, but could not escape the sudden attack from the air. It is no wonder that the ancient legends of all countries in the world have vicious giant birds that harm them in all directions, which is probably the fatal nightmare that primitive people cannot get rid of. It wasn't until the apes descended the tree again and learned to use tools that the birds of prey gradually lost their threat.
The fate of the "monkey-eating eagle big brother" in "Black Cat Sheriff" is not good, and finally he is caught alive by the cats, and the feathers are cut off to become the image of the suit chicken in the supermarket, which can also be regarded as the descendants of us monkeys embodying the "spirit of revolutionary optimism".
However, if you open your imagination, it may be that the horned eagle is in the three monkey-eating eagles, and there is still an unknown contribution to human beings - it may have prevented the human world from entering a state of division
Where did this come from? Let's take a look at the classification of monkeys. Although monkeys are diverse, from a scientific point of view, they have only two major categories -
Langurs, macaques, and baboons are Old World monkeys native to Africa and Asia
Velvet monkeys, capuchin monkeys, villous spider monkeys and other New World monkeys native to Central and South America
The two parted ways twenty million years ago. According to the theory of evolutionary convergence, they may all develop into humanoid creatures, but in the end, only African monkeys went to the ground, became ancient apes, and evolved into apes, and then became humans like you and me today (can I be sure that the noble prince who reads this article in front of my mobile phone is really human?). ）
Why didn't the New World monkeys of the Americas follow this evolutionary path?
The reason for this may be that Africa once became cold and dry millions of years ago, and the Old World monkey had to go down to the ground in order to survive, and this animal with a preliminary division of upper and lower limbs soon learned to use tools and developed in the direction of humans. However, monkeys in the Americas live intensively in the tropical rainforests of South and Central America, where the climate has always been hot and humid, and new world monkeys do not need to live in the ground, and will not evolve in the direction of humans.
There is a small problem with this conclusion - the climate change in ancient North America is quite similar to that in Africa, several times it has become cold, several times it has become hot, and if monkeys lived here, they may also fall into a war when they have no time to retreat south through the narrow Isthmus of Panama and have to go to the ground to make a living. In that case, would a humanoid creature similar to that of humans evolve on Earth?
If this is the case, the rise of the ape ball is not a movie, and the human world on Earth may appear a crazy division
However, such a thing did not happen. According to fossil research, north American regions originally had native primates, but they were very primitive, and compared with the New World monkeys and old world monkeys, they were self-contained, and they were called Brigator apes, resembling lemurs. They were unable to cross the south to escape due to the fact that the Isthmus of Panama had not yet formed when the climate became cold millions of years ago, and they also tried to live in the ground, but because they were more primitive, they lost to rats in the competition for survival and became extinct, and from then on, until monkeys began to be raised in Zoos in the United States, there was no trace of primates in North America (except for a few parts of Central America).
The Isthmus of Panama was formed about three million years ago, so why didn't the Primates of South America re-enter North America through this channel and begin the prologue to the "Rise of the Apes"?
An odd speculation is that because the monkey-eating eagle occupies this isthmus area, the monkeys come and kill one by one, unable to form a strong enough group to migrate north, coupled with the favorable living conditions in the jungles of South America, the monkeys have no need for "northern expedition", this evolutionary thing, it has been delayed, has been delaying the New World monkeys into the Zoo of the Old World Monkeys.
From the perspective of human interest, the Panamanian monkey-eating eagle may not feel as guilty as its distant relatives in "Black Cat Sheriff", unlike the military command agents who are cursed by all revolutionaries, these monkey-eating eagles, perhaps only the caged New World monkeys, will associate them with the dog legs of the slag hole.
