A big guy once said such a sentence " Standing on the wind outlet, pigs can fly to the sky " , in fact , this sentence can also be explained by the creation of heroes by the times. As long as there are opportunities and times, we can easily succeed, pigs have no wings, but as long as the wind is strong enough, nature can passively go to heaven.
Everyone has always taken this sentence as a joke, but a group of photos released by a photographer has completely hammered this sentence, the pig really flies in the sky, and it is a juvenile little wild boar, but it is only the throat of the golden eagle that chokes the fate and is flying. Yes, wild boars can also fly into the sky, all thanks to the merits of the golden eagle, even if the death of the eagle mouth, presumably this little wild boar's life is worth it.
From the picture can see a golden eagle soaring with its wings spread, and the abdomen is clutching an object on its claws, after the photographer's observation found that this is a small wild boar, although this picture is a little painful, but it feels quite exciting and funny, a wild boar also took this opportunity to fly into the sky, which is a feat that its ancestors have never completed.
There are many netizens who commented: Really sad for this little wild boar! And more netizens expressed their envy in the ridicule, wild boars flew into the sky, and suddenly felt that the steamed buns in their hands were not fragrant. Some netizens said that I saw the persecution of international second-level protected animals by the national key protected wild animals, who should we help?
This picture was taken in the Giant Panda National Park, located in the Tangjiahe area of Guangyuan, Sichuan, just in time for the Qingming Festival a group of photographers came here to shoot antelope, who knew that at this time a huge golden eagle roared past, and it is still the carrier prey, this scene can not be missed, everyone raised the camera to shoot a stimulating picture, both heartache and want to laugh. The golden eagle flew over the valley with the little wild boar, rested on the cliff for a while, and then continued to drive home with the little wild boar. During this period, the little wild boar did not have any struggle, and some friends joked that the wild boar might have fainted completely from fear of heights.
There are currently more than 1.8 million species on Earth, this data is still a very conservative estimate, if you add those scientists who have not yet discovered estimate that there are at least 6-8 million species on the earth, different organisms distributed in different ecosystems, without exception all members are located in the food chain and food web, this stable structure can ensure the flow of energy on the earth.
In every ecosystem there are top predators, who are few in number but have strong offensive power and stand at the top of the food chain. For example, in the ocean, killer whales are the top predators, and cats can dominate in some ecosystems. And in the sky, the raptor is a top predator, of course, this covers a wide range.
Very typical is the golden eagle, which belongs to the genus Ornithischia-Falconidae-Eagle in biological classification, and there are six subspecies mainly distributed in the temperate, subarctic and boreal regions of the northern hemisphere. The golden eagle is the largest and most ferocious of the birds of prey, with an adult body length of up to 1 meter and a wingspan of more than 2 meters.
The diet of the golden eagle is very rich, birds, insects and rodents are all pediatric, foxes, hares, etc. are often caught, and people like goats and small wild boars and even wolves may become the prey of the golden eagle.
The reason why golden eagles can fly with heavier prey is their strong flight ability and the sharpness of their claws. Because they can fly quickly for dive and have sharp beak claws, they can easily solve the prey, and their claws will even be directly inserted into the skull of the prey, resulting in the death of the prey. Especially during the hunting period, they will carry out long-distance raids with their prey, and eventually bring the prey back to their old nest for the little golden eagle to eat.
In fact, although the golden eagles fly faster, they are not good at bearing weights, and they are accustomed to decomposing large prey and eating some good meat first, and then bringing the prey back to the old nest in batches. It is still relatively rare for a golden eagle like this discovery to fly with a small wild boar.
At the end of 2019, the golden eagle appeared in Shennongjia, the huge size is frightening, the infrared camera of the Shennongjia Sun Ping Conservation Center photographed the figure of the golden eagle, it can reach a height of 1.2 meters when standing, a pig badger is trampled under its feet, it looks mighty and domineering, worthy of being a bird of prey in the air, the top predator in the flying animals.
