My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 475 The Legend of Costin (Part 1)

Xia Pengjie looked up at the sky with excitement on his face, "My dear, no wonder I seldom see tiger-headed sea eagles during the day, but I often hear eagles calling at night. So I found a female eagle and came back."

Xiang Yang's eyes flickered. Although he has a room on the boat, he doesn't live on the boat as long as the fishing boat docks, so he doesn't know about the tiger-headed sea eagle. But when Xiang Yang Xia Pengjie opened his mouth, Xiang Yang immediately I know, these two tiger-headed sea eagles have probably been on the boat for a while.

Xiang Yang also quickly realized that in the past, the male eagle was unwilling to live in the nest, and it liked to sleep standing on the side of the overtime ship or on the top of the cabin, but not long ago, it had the habit of returning to its nest. Turning the original boxy nest with only one entrance and exit into an open-air disc-shaped bird's nest, the structure and appearance have changed a lot.

"Chirp—"

Suddenly, the male eagle swooped down and landed on the top of the cabin, then raised his head and uttered a very loud chirping into the sky, as if calling for the female eagle.

Including Xiang Yang, a group of people hurriedly looked up, and the next move of the female eagle might determine whether the two tiger-headed sea eagles would make their home on this ship.

Xiongdiao was familiar with the crew and was not afraid of them.

But not the female eagle.

The female vulture is a real beast, and a bird of prey that is about to enter the reproductive period. It is very cautious and hostile to all larger animals, including humans.

"Stand back." Professor Chen Yu whispered.

The people of the scientific research team retreated slowly immediately, but only a part of the crew moved, and the rest looked at 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 out, don't gather together, don't scare the new tiger-headed sea eagle." Xiang Yang shouted.

The crew stepped back immediately, standing far away around the ship's rails on the deck.

"Fang Youqun." Xiang Yang shouted.

"Brother Yang." Fang Youqun responded immediately.

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

"Okay, I'll go." Fang Youqun quickly got into the cabin and fiddled 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.

Xiang Yang glared at the self-assertive Fang Youqun.

"Brother Yang, the chicken you wanted." Fang Youqun said with a sneer.

Xiang Yang took the plucked but uncooked chicken and threw it towards the deck towards the cabin.

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

"Be careful, back off." Professor Chen Yu shouted hastily.

The attack power of eagles is extremely strong, especially the tiger-headed sea eagles that fly over the ocean all year round and can catch fish under the sea. Their physical fitness is far stronger than that of ordinary eagles. If humans are pecked by them If you go up, there must be a blood hole in your body.

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

If it was a female tiger-headed sea eagle that was about to fly down, Xiang Yang would immediately retreat without hesitation, but if it was a male tiger-headed sea eagle, Xiang Yang could still trust it.

This kind of trust is like outsiders who dare not approach the husky with a fierce expression on it, while the owner of the husky dares to slap it directly on the head.

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

It landed on the deck, and there was a "cuckoo" sound inside its body.

"Coo-coo" is not the exclusive cry of pigeons. Owls also cry like this. In fact, many birds call this way, and eagles also call this way when they are the most docile.

Xiang Yang walked over and lightly touched the tiger-headed sea eagle's head.

The tiger-headed sea eagle had no intention of avoiding Xiang Yang, it flapped its wings, and when the wings spread out, it was more than twice the size of its body at the beginning.

Fang Youqun's face was blurred by the strong wind brought by the tiger-headed sea eagle's wings, and he shouted: "Wow, I haven't found out before that this eagle's incitement is so powerful, it's no worse than Haidongqing right?"

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

Costin is a member of the Falconidae family of birds. It is a national first-class protected animal that is even rarer than the Steller's sea eagle. It was once considered by many to be the most ferocious bird in the world.

In fact, Haidongqing has been given mythology by history, culture and film and television novels. Haidongqing's fighting power is fierce, but it is definitely not so fierce that it can kill all birds and beasts.

Haidongqing is a mythical beast and a totem in the film and television, but in reality, they are almost extinct. It depends on which island with open terrain and many rocks is still there.

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

Professor Chen Yu was extremely disappointed immediately, and then he smiled, "That's right, even if there is a costin, it will only appear in the rocky coasts, open rocky mountains, and coastal areas in northern Europe, northern Asia, and northern North America." Islands, river valleys near the coast, and forest tundra, how could Costinin appear here.”

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

"Of course there are." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica - Poultry Department": "The most handsome ones carved out of Liaodong are called Haidongqing. "Costin is a large raptor with a strong body weight. Generally, females are slightly larger than males. The heaviest weight can reach 6 kilograms, the body length is about 1 meter, and the wings are nearly three meters long. The beak and claws are as hard as iron hooks. It is fast and high, and can catch swans, wild ducks, rabbits, roe deer, and even eagles and other animals. The emperor of the Liao Dynasty released Hai Dongqing near the Yazi River (now Songhua River) every spring to catch swans. The first one he caught was The swans have to hold a feast to celebrate, which is called "head goose banquet". The Jurchen and Mongolian nobles in the Jin and Yuan dynasties also used the custom of hunting sea dongqing, but the tiger-headed sea eagle is not weak. If the tiger-headed sea eagle is really like Now that Haidongqing is doing it, it's really not certain who will win the battle."

"It's hard to say about the fighting power, but in terms of the ability to survive in the wild, the tiger-headed sea eagle is far worse than the sea eagle. The sea eagle preys on food like lightning, and it is very majestic. It eats a lot and can endure hunger." Steller's eagles are very powerful, they can go without food for 20 days once they are full, they can travel through the desert without eating a grain of rice, and even eat carrion, which is absolutely impossible for a tiger-headed sea eagle." A young biologist said.

"You can't say that." Xiang Yang shook his head and denied: "The living environment of Haidongqing and tiger-headed sea eagle is different, so there is no way to compare the so-called survival ability in the wild."
