Birds of prey, especially birds of prey, as a brother in birds, not only are they the strongest among birds, but they must also have a big brother style when they walk.
A few days ago, a blogger named Charcoal Roasted Pig Head on Weibo discovered this feature, which was instantly on the hot search and attracted the attention of the majority of netizens. Some netizens said that "after being single for a long time, I feel that I feel safe and secure, and I am worthy of trust."
Eagle birds of prey usually impress us the most is the way they soar in the sky, I did not expect that after landing on the ground, the walking posture is like this, and there is really a bit of sand sculpture.
This pair of self-confidence in the world is really a bit of the demeanor of the northeast big brother in it.
Looking at the bird world, it seems that there is only one bird of prey in the eagle family. In addition to the name of the first brother of the bird world, what gives the eagle family raptors such a domineering walk of confidence.

The cultivation of the big guys in the bird world
Birds, as a large vertebrate, are divided into six ecological groups: game birds, wading birds, climbing birds, walking birds, songbirds, and birds of prey.
The eagle family we are going to talk about today is one of the birds of prey. Bird of prey, since it has been labeled as "fierce", this fierceness of the eagle is really in place.
First of all, the list on the Eagle family recipe is fierce enough.
Most of the birds we saw, the fighter jet was not strong, but rather a very weak one. Take the chicken, the star of the chicken world, the chicken, he can put out the bold words that are "in the grassland, thirsty to drink dew, hungry to eat grasshoppers ...", said to go to the ground chicken, the main food in addition to plants, that is, eat insects.
If you are a little more fierce, you will catch some fish and shrimp to eat. For example, ducks, geese, seagulls, etc. in game birds, cranes and storks in wading birds are mainly fish and shrimp.
These birds are several grades inferior to eagles. The eagle is an uncompromising carnivore, and its diet lists range from rats, hares, birds, and larger snakes to the eagle's table. Larger eagles (also known as eagles) also dare to challenge large mammals such as goats, sheep or fawns.

With such a relatively advanced species in the diet, the eagle raptor naturally sits on the top of the food chain.
In addition to the types of food eaten are relatively fierce, the appearance of birds of prey in the eagle family is also very domineering in birds.
Eagles of prey are generally larger, with the largest Andean condor reaching 3 meters after spreading its wings. The eagle's mouth is generally curved in the shape of a hook, making it easier for him to tear food from his prey. The wings are wide and advantageous, and they can fly high in the air with the power of the wings. The eagle has long legs and sharp claws, and has hooked claws on its feet. The eagle's mouth, claws, and wings are all made for hunting.
After searching for tracks of prey in the sky, the eagle will fold its wings, swoop down rapidly, grab the prey with its sharp claws, and with its curved hook-like mouth, capture and tear the prey to pieces.
Eagle raptors in the two important standards of eating and appearance in the animal kingdom have a "fierce" word, how can the animals at the top of the food chain walk without a domineering posture.
Because the recipe menu of the eagle raptor is full of snakes, rats, hares and even wolves and goats, he has a pair of long and powerful legs and claws. The thighs of the eagle family are very strong, and it can be seen from the picture that his thighs, which are like sweaters, are strong and full, and can quickly pop out when catching prey, grasp and lift prey into the sky.
There is another reason why the eagle raptor walks and carves, that is, the strong wings of the eagle raptor.
Let's go back and think about it, the reason why the eagle raptor walk is on fire is because this walking posture is very similar to the big brother of the human. The common characteristics of these big brothers are: thick arms, thick shoulders, and wide chests, after all, with these can calm the momentum and coax the old girl who peels garlic.
Eagle birds of prey are also such big guys, how can they calm other creatures in the bird world without their domineering looks. Compared with the human big guy, the eagle raptor also has the same thick arms, thick shoulders, and wide chest, but after all, the eagle is a bird body, and the thick arm becomes a strong and powerful wing on the eagle, and it is slightly spread when walking. The thick shoulders changed to the eagle's body also became the eagle wing root, as part of understanding the wings and the eagle's body, the eagle's wing root (don't think about eating!). It is a part of the wing with quite rich feathers, and the root of the wing is also full of strength, similar to the chicken wing root you often eat, and the muscle is sufficient. Humans have thick shoulders that can swing their arms strongly, and so do birds of prey of the eagle family.
Although the eagle raptor has a large chest, it does not have a very broad chest, but the eagle makes up for this deficiency with a slight spread of wings, and walks out of the confident big brother style with its head held high
A brother in the bird world, only one in the eagle family
So it seems that other birds are not bad, how to walk is not as domineering as the eagle family raptors?
Gamebirds
Game birds, we also call water birds, ducks, swans, seagulls, penguins, etc. are all game birds. The common feature of the game bird is the ability to swim rapidly on the surface of the water, with webbing between the toes. Most pamphlets are not very good at walking on land, but fly very fast. If a swimming bird wants to float on the surface of the water, the area it touches the surface of the water must be large enough, so birds such as ducks and swans are relatively large in the abdomen. The "calves and feet" of the game bird are difficult to support the relatively large upper body, so they are swaying from side to side when walking.

wading bird
Wading birds are birds that live near water's edge, including birds such as pleurformes, storks, red storks, and plovers. Waders are characterized by a long beak, a long neck, and long legs, and the large long legs make them more adept at walking, and often show off the length of the legs while standing on one leg. They walk without as many obstacles as eagle raptors and gamebirds, and when they walk, they are rarely affected by the proportion of body and legs, but because of their long legs, they have a sense of superiority.
Walking birds
Walking birds are long to be able to walk and run, and the walking birds rely too much on the characteristics of walking and running, and most of the walking birds lose the ability of birds to fly. There is no keel process in the ventral middle of their sternum, the modal muscles have degenerated, the winglets are short and the wings are degenerated, but the feet are long and strong, and the lower limbs are developed. Both the ostrich and the Australian national treasure, the emus, are walking birds.
Climbing birds
The biggest feature of this bird is that the two toes are forward and the two toes are backward, which is very conducive to their grasping on branches and walls. Birds such as parrots, woodpeckers, and cuckoos are climbing birds, and they are generally not good at flying long distances for long periods of time. And because of the strange shape of their toes, climbing birds is also more awkward to walk.
songbird
Songbirds are the most extensive of several ecological taxonomies, including 83 families of birds. Songbirds are known for their ability to sing and sing, and most of them are small birds with small but strong beaks and short and strong feet. The foot features coupled with the light weight of the body, the songbirds are generally bouncing when they walk.
In this way, the title of a brother in the bird world of birds of prey in the eagle family is not solid.
As for the owl in the raptor world you want to ask, although it is more domineering to walk, but he can't beat the eagle raptor, and he is semi-blind (unable to recognize the color), compared with the fierce eagle, or use cute talk!
Owl: bye~
