My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 473: The Legend of Costin (Part 1)

Xia Pengjie looked up at the sky with a look of excitement on his face, "Oh, no wonder you rarely see steller sea eagles during the day, but often hear the eagle calls at night. It turns out that I found a female eagle back."

Xiang Yang's eyes flickered. Although he had a room on the boat, he would not live on the boat as long as the average fishing boat docked. So he didn't know about the Steller's sea eagle. But when Xiang Yang Xia Pengjie spoke, Xiang Yang immediately stopped. I know that these two tiger-headed sea eagles have probably been on the ship for some time.

Xiang Yang also quickly thought that in the past, male vultures were unwilling to live in the nest. He liked to sleep on the side of the ship or on the top of the cabin during overtime work. But some time ago, he had the habit of homing. The original boxy nest with only one entrance and exit has been turned into an open-air disc-shaped bird's nest, and its structure and appearance have changed tremendously.

"Tweet—"

Suddenly, the male eagle swooped down and landed on the top of the cabin, then raised his head to make a very loud sing in the sky, as if calling a female eagle.

Including Xiang Yang, a group of people hurriedly raised their heads and watched. The next female eagle's behavior is likely to determine whether the two tiger-headed sea eagles will make a home on this ship.

The male eagle has become acquainted with the crew and is not afraid of the crew.

But not for female vultures.

The female eagle is a real beast and a bird of prey that is about to enter the breeding period. It has a very cautious and hostile attitude towards all larger animals including humans.

"Stay back." Professor Chen Yu whispered.

The people in the scientific research team immediately retreated slowly, but only part of the crew moved, and the rest looked towards Xiang Yang, waiting for Xiang Yang's order.

Xiang Yang looked up at the male eagle standing on the top of the cabin. The male eagle was tilting his head, his eyes staring down motionlessly.

"Spread apart, don't gather together, don't scare the new stout sea eagle." Xiang Yang shouted.

The crew immediately stepped back and stood at a distance around the side of the deck.

"Fang Youqun." Xiang Yang shouted.

"Brother Yang." Fang Youqun responded immediately.

"Go to the cabin and get a box of squid, no, get a whole chicken out." Xiang Yang said.

"Okay, I'll go." Fang Youqun hurriedly got into the cabin for a while, and within a minute, he ran out with a chicken in his left hand and a box of squid in his right hand.

Xiang Yang glared at Fang Youqun who was self-asserting.

"Brother Yang, the chicken you want." Fang Youqun said with a smirk.

Xiang Yang took the chicken that had been plucked but had not undergone any cooking, and threw it towards the deck in the direction of the cabin.

The male tiger-headed sea eagle looked down at the chicken on the deck, and before Xiang Yang retreated, he dived down one by one.

"Be careful, step back." Professor Chen Yu hurriedly shouted.

The attack power of eagles is very strong, especially the steller's sea eagles that fly over the ocean all year round and can fish under the sea. Their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary eagles. If humans are pecked by them Going up, there must be a blood hole on the body.

Xiang Yang looked back at Professor Chen Yu, smiled slightly, and did not step back.

If it is a female tiger-headed sea eagle that is in the breeding period, Xiang Yang will immediately retreat without hesitation, but if it is a male tiger-headed sea eagle, Xiang Yang can still trust it.

This kind of trust is the same as when outsiders saw the husky showing a fierce expression and did not dare to approach it, while the owner of the husky dared to slap it directly against its head.

Sure enough, the tiger-headed sea eagle did not attack Xiang Yang.

It landed on the deck and made a "cuckoo" sound inside.

"Coo" is not the exclusive call of pigeons. Owls call like this. In fact, many birds call like this. Eagles also call when they are the most docile.

Xiang Yang walked over and gently touched the head of the tiger-head sea eagle.

The tiger-headed sea eagle does not mean to avoid Xiang Yang. It slaps its wings, and when the wings are unfolded, they are more than twice as large as its body at the beginning.

Fang Youqun was confused by the strong wind brought up by the tiger-headed sea eagle's wings. He cried out: "Wow, I haven't found it before. This eagle's inciting force is so powerful, it's no worse than Hai Dongqing Right?"

Professor Chen Yu looked at Fang Youqun instantly, "Have you seen Costin? Have you seen Costin spreading his wings on the ground?"

Protea is a falcon in the class of birds. It is rarer than Steller’s sea eagle, the country’s first-class protected animal. It was once considered by many to be the most ferocious bird in the world.

In fact, Costin has been given a myth by history, culture and film and television. Costin’s combat effectiveness is fierce, but it is definitely not so fierce as to slay all birds and beasts.

Costin is a mythical beast and a totem in film and television, but in reality, they are almost extinct. It depends on which island with open terrain and many rocks to see if there are any more.

"No." Fang Youqun said immediately: "I watched it on TV."

Professor Chen Yu was immediately disappointed, and then he smiled, "Yes, even if there is a sea Dongqing, it will only appear on the rocky coasts, open rocky mountains, and coastal areas of northern Europe, northern Asia, and northern North America. Islands, river valleys and forest tundra areas near the coast, here, how can proteas appear."

Chen Qingsheng was taken aback, "Professor Chen, there is really a Costin in this world? I have sailed for so many years and have been to the northern waters, but I have never seen a Costin."

"Of course there are ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Xiang Yang said with a smile: "In the "Compendium of Materia Medica·Bird Department", it is recorded: "Liaodong is carved out, and the most handsome one is called Costinus." Costinus is a large bird of prey. , The weight is strong, the female is generally slightly larger than the male. The maximum weight can reach 6 kilograms, the body length is about 1 meter tall, the two wings spread out are nearly three meters long, the beak and claws are as hard as iron hooks, and they fly fast and high. They can catch swans, wild ducks, rabbits, roe deer, and even Eagles and other beasts, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty placed Haidongqing near the Duck River (now Songhua River) to catch swans every spring, and the first swan caught was to be celebrated with a feast, called the "head goose feast." During the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the Jurchen and Mongolian aristocrats also had the custom of hunting by Hai Dongqing, but the stalactite sea eagle is not weak. If the stalactite sea eagle is really engaged with the sea eagle, it is not necessarily the one who will die. "

"It's hard to say the combat effectiveness, but in terms of the ability to survive in the wild, the Steller's sea eagle is far worse than Costin. Costin preys like lightning, pounces and dominates people, it is absolutely majestic. It eats a lot and is full and hungry. It is very powerful. You can eat without food for 20 days at a time. You can walk through the desert without grains of rice, and even eat rotten meat. This is absolutely impossible for a tiger-head sea eagle." A young biologist said.

"You can't say that." Xiang Yang shook his head and denied: "The living environment of Costin and Steller's sea eagles are different. There is no way to compare the so-called survivability in the wild."
