As we all know, eagles are now the top hunters dominate the earth. They are very large in size than other birds, and have sharp eyes and claws. They are the full Raptors . What I want to talk about today is the extremely cruel " Ape Eater ", which is used to make your eyes first and then scratch your head.
Eating Ape Eagle
Eagle Eagle, you can tell from the name that it is based on monkeys. They will prey on primate animals, whether it is birds flying in the sky, monkeys jumping on trees, or cats, dogs, snakes, rats, and rabbits running on the ground. It can be said that all animals within the territory of the Eagle Eagle are their food, and they stand at the top of the food chain with their strength.
basic information about ape-eating eagle
ape-eating eagle is also called Philippine ape-eating eagle. It is the national bird of the Philippines, or the largest eagle existing. It has a body length of about 1 meter, with wings spreading 200 to 250 cm, an average life span of 30 years, and a strong body shape. The reason why they are called Ape Eater is because when zoologists first studied it, they found that there was still macaque in their stomachs that had not been digested, so they called it the ferocious name of Ape Eater.
You should know that monkeys are particularly sensitive animals. They can also use branches, stones and other tools, and they will also use vines to escape in the woods, but they cannot escape the ape-eating eagle. This shows the powerful ability of ape-eating eagle to prey.
Once the ape-eating eagle catches the monkey, he will first blind the monkey's eyes with a sharp beak, making it impossible for him to judge the direction, prevent escape, and tear it into pieces to satisfy his hunger, and then take the rest back to the nest.
Living habits
Eating ape eagle has strong domain characteristics. Each pair must occupy more than 30 to 50 square kilometers, which varies according to the degree of forest coverage and changes in terrain. In its field, most animals are their food, especially various monkeys, snakes, spirit cats, and other arboreal animals. Sometimes it also likes to hide near the caves of hornbills , waiting for an opportunity to hunt down male hornbills who come to give food to female hornbills that hatch eggs in the cave. Sometimes they also move to prey on livestock such as dogs, pigs, etc.
Ape Eater is still very dedicated. It is monogamous, and a pair of ape Eater will accompany each other for a lifetime. Every July, female ape Eater only lays one egg at a time, and it takes 60 days to hatch the small ape Eater to break out of the shell. During the process of growing up, Xiaoshi Ape Diao lived a life of "clothing comes to reach out and food comes to open his mouth". His parents would give it the best meat to let it grow up slowly, and parents could only feel at ease until they could survive independently. Pull it out of the nest.
How to hunt eclipse
Eating Eagle has short and wide wings and long tail feathers, which can fly agilely and increase speed suddenly, so it is especially suitable for moving in the forest. Most of its time it spends flying in the canopy of prey in seclusion. Once it finds its prey, it will dive down like lightning, first carve your eyes, causing the prey to lose its direction and eat it.
and also use tactics. Often, when catching monkeys, two ape-eating eagles will be dispatched, one attracts attention, and the other hides in the air. When the monkey is in a hurry, one will be unprepared, so as to increase the chance of predation.
Although the ape-eating eagle is extremely fierce, it is difficult to reproduce. The ape-eating eagle only gives birth to one offspring every year, and it will take two years to raise it. In the past two years, it will be protected from harm. In addition, the gradual decrease in forests, the living environment of the ape-eating eagle has also been greatly reduced, and it is gradually moving towards the fate of extinction.
Even though the Philippines listed ape-eating eagles as a key protection target for a long time, the number of people in the wild has been reduced from 6,000 to more than 300, protection is imminent, but fortunately, the local government has really adopted various methods such as legal protection, artificial breeding, and scientific research to save it. However, we should pay more attention to the protection of forests, so that many creatures can survive.
