Antarctic fierce penguin observation record

The little penguin didn't come to the studio for a few days.A group of uninvited guests came from the sky above Lu Yuanbing. They had sharp eyes, powerful minions, covered with brown feathers, hovered in the white sky, looking for targets everywhere.

They are skuas.They are called thieves because they really like stealing penguin chicks.

The penguin fathers on the ice at the edge of the continent stand up straight, with their two fins protecting the penguin chicks.They watched the sky vigilantly, their eyes following the skuas around.

The penguin cubs who had been running around did not dare to run around anymore, and gathered around the penguin father for shelter.

Skuas are the natural enemies of penguin cubs, and the penguins in the penguin colony have gradually grown up, and their size is doomed that they are no longer little penguins that can hide in their father's pouch.The arrival of the skuas makes life difficult for the penguin cubs.

Several goose fathers and goose cubs stood in front of the little penguin.

The bodies of the penguin fathers are no longer as strong as before, although they still look like a big group.

It has been more than 90 days since the mother penguins left. The father penguins on the edge of the continent have lost a lot of weight. They urgently need to supplement food, but the arrival of the skuas broke their plan to go to sea.

The little penguin poked his head out and observed everything around him.

The skuas in the sky covered the land margin ice tightly, and the skuas flew down to try to chase the penguin cubs.

The penguin cubs can only run away in a hurry, hiding behind the father penguin, carefully avoiding the skuas who are watching.

Not far from the little penguin, two skuas chose to cooperate. They dispatched each other to harass the penguin father, and jumped to the side of the penguin cub without paying attention.

The male penguin father puffed out his chest, stretched out his long beak and quickly pecked at it. One fin protected the penguin cub and the other waved to drive away the skuas that annoyed the geese.The nimble skua rushed forward and started a fight with the male penguin.The skuas in the rear were already prepared. When the father of the penguin was not in the mood to take care of the cubs, he made a surprise attack from the rear and headed towards the cubs.

The skua's sharp claws got stuck in the fur of the penguin cub, and the cub hiding behind the father penguin screamed in pain. Hearing the call for help, the father penguin tightened his rear fins and turned to face the attacking skua fiercely. Peck it.

The skuas who grabbed the penguin cubs hurriedly dodged and had to give up the penguin cubs.

The other skua was not too reconciled, and flew behind the father penguin to peck at it. It used its sharp beak and claws together, and scratched several scars on the father penguin.The other penguins were too busy to take care of themselves and did not come to help. The red blood gradually soaked the black back of the emperor penguin father.

The little penguin hid in a safe place and watched all this with its black eyes open, its ball body trembling, the little penguin was very angry.

"I'm going out to peck them! Goose thief!"

As he said, he kicked his legs and was about to go out.

The father penguin stopped him with his beak in a panic, for fear that the little penguin would rush out so recklessly.

"Wait a minute." Ruan Xingyuan stopped him in a panic, "That's too dangerous!"

The little penguin was jumping under the fins of the penguin father, waving its fins to get rid of the father penguin and leaving. The father bowed his head and yelled at the little penguin, and the sound became longer and longer.

"You are more dangerous than them." Ruan Xingyuan tried to remind the penguin cub.

Not far away, the skua came again, this time he harassed the penguin father madly, even more fiercely than before.

The skuas need food, and they have been staring at the sky for a long time.

"Dad! Dad! That penguin cub was taken away!"

After continuously harassing for more than half an hour, the skua finally succeeded, grabbed the little penguin and walked away.

The cries of pain from the penguins echoed above the ice on the continental margin.The penguin father who lost his child ran after the skuas for a while. He passed through the male penguins guarding the cubs one by one, and walked staggeringly among the penguins.But the penguin's two fins are not wings, so how can he catch up with the birds flying in the sky.In the end, he could only look up at the sky, obsessively and silently thinking about the direction where the skua left, and quietly said his final farewell to his beloved child who had been with him for nearly a hundred days.

After the skuas succeeded, the skuas above the continental ice began to stir.

The little penguin who watched all this fell into a long silence between the two.

Ruan Xingyuan didn't know how to explain to this innocent little penguin.Survival in Antarctica is a challenge for life to face nature. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into a situation where you can't protect yourself. Animals can't take care of others and can only do their best to keep themselves alive.

In years of research, Ruan Xingyuan has long understood that penguins can only survive in groups.But that doesn't mean groups will protect them.

Although when a cold blizzard comes, the penguins will huddle together to keep each other warm and survive the "natural disaster", but when they move forward to other places, if some penguins are left behind or natural enemies come, the penguins will not care at all. Take care of those "underdogs in the penguin colony".

The penguins can only keep up with the team by themselves and try their best to survive. They need to have the ability to protect themselves, otherwise they will be abandoned.

Nature cruelly puts the rules of competition secretly in Antarctica, in the endless biological chain and in the unpredictable climate.

"Ugly, east, west." There was a cold voice in his ear, and the little penguin on the screen looked up at the skuas going away.

Feeling the message of struggle in the eyes of the penguin cub, Ruan Xingyuan eagerly explained the characteristics of the skuas to him in the studio, for fear that the little penguin would rush forward without knowing the ferocity of the skuas.

"Those skuas fly fast and are very cruel, they will bite the penguin's body, and not only that, they are not polite to their brothers. The brother will snatch the food from the brother, attack him with his beak and try to kill him, and will do everything. There is no way to drive him away. Skuas are creatures without any compassion, they are born to fight. You are so old, even if you want to fight them, you have to wait."

The skuas flew down from the sky again, their eyes were gloomy and cruel, their bodies and heads were connected into a sharp arrow and swooped down, carrying the aura of mad killing.

This time, the skua chose a familiar subject.

Little Penguin's next-door cub, Cowardly.

This is the nickname given to him by the little penguin, but because the penguin was so withdrawn, the little penguin only talked to the coward twice later.

The coward huddled between Papa Penguin's legs and shivered.Opposite him, the skua landed on the ice at the edge of the continent, and looked him up and down with a pair of sharp eyes as black as night, as if thinking about where to start tearing this poor and plump penguin apart.

The little penguin was hanging in the air, holding on to the fins of the penguin father, watching him quietly.
