There are many animals that become active at night, some are ferocious and some are docile.
Among the ferocious animals, there is such a kind of raptor. They look cute on the surface, but in fact they are ferocious and terrifying.
That is - owl.
Owl is a bird belonging to the order Owlidae.
Also known as "owls", because they look like cats, people generally call them "owls".
Night is their stage, where they can play, hunt, and move to their heart's content. Various organs in their bodies have evolved to allow them to better adapt to the night.
The outlines of all things are getting clearer and clearer. They will fly up to the tall pine trees and start singing their exclusive war songs loudly. The sound is low when they are close, but loud and unusual in the distance.
That is their ritual to welcome the dark night, and the "King of the Dark Night" is about to come to its kingdom.
For example, eyes, the owl's vision is very sharp.
Since owls' eyes are in the front of their heads, unlike other birds, they have eyes that are on both sides, so when they want to observe their surroundings in all directions, they can only keep turning their heads.
However, their pupils are large, making it easy for light to enter the eyes. The retina is very rich in rod cells but does not contain cones, so the eyes are cylindrical rather than spherical. They also have good sensitivity to low light. These characteristics make
They are great for nighttime activities.
Moreover, the feathers on their bodies are soft and light, and their feather color is mostly matte dark brown gray.
The soft feathers have a sound-absorbing effect, allowing birds of this order to fly quickly and quietly. Even mice with sensitive hearing can hardly detect the approaching danger. Plus, the dull and dark feather colors are all advantages.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call them the kings of the night.
At this moment, it was such a king. When it came out to move, it set off from the steep cliff through the mountains and fields, along the mountains, and flew into the woods. Then it found this timid little hedgehog, whose body was still white.
.
The smell on his body is also very sweet, making his mouth water unconsciously.
That little white figure immediately attracted his attention.
It was so quiet at night, even the sound of the wind and grass could arouse Xu Qiaoqiao's alertness.
"Gu Gu."
Several unknown screams sounded at this time.
Xu Qiaoqiao was startled.
what?
"Gu Gu."
The screams continued.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked back with a worried heart, but found nothing. Could it be that she was overthinking it?
Maybe, after all, that's how scary it is at night.
It's better to go pick the fruits and go home quickly.
Don't think too much. Don't think too much.
"Gu Gu."
As soon as Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head, she heard several shouts, and then suddenly met a pair of big and terrifying yellow eyes.
The yellow irises are as beautiful as the sunset and look bright and bright.
Xu Qiaoqiao:!!!
This is... an owl!
Dear mother!
Before Xu Qiaoqiao was shocked, the owl picked up Xu Qiaoqiao with its sharp and hard claws, and was not afraid of the thorns on her back at all.
It vibrated its wings and stretched them. At this time, the wings appeared round and big, and without picking up any dust, the owl flapped its wings and flew away.
This process takes no more than three seconds.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't even have time to react.
Because she was so frightened that she couldn't think straight. What a bad time!
The food of owls is mainly rodents, but they also eat insects, small birds, lizards, fish and other animals, and here’s the important point, let’s get it straight – they also eat hedgehogs.
Oh, no!
And even if it is a raptor like a goshawk, sparrowhawk, or peregrine falcon, if an owl encounters it, it will still eat it!
She finally understood that she really memorized it today.
Unexpectedly, the new life will end so soon.
After Xu Qiaoqiao got used to her current position for three minutes, she no longer felt uncomfortable. Moreover, the cold wind blew past her face, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.
I haven’t experienced the feeling of flying for a long time.
I don't know where this owl is taking me.
After Xu Qiaoqiao accepted the fact, there were so many things in her head that she was crazy, oh no, the characteristics of the Buddhist system were revealed at this time.
I don’t know if this talisman meets the mission standards. If it doesn’t, will I still have another life?
If there is still one, she would make a wish here. If it is still an animal next time, I hope it will be a beast next time!
Or you should be taller, anyway, don't be a weakling.
After being abducted by this owl, Xu Qiaoqiao thought a lot. Before she died, she had already thought out her way out.
Junjun, I didn’t expect that I would have to leave before I found you. If we are really destined, I hope we can meet again in the next life.
Wow, it’s still a bit uncomfortable to think about it.
Xu Qiaoqiao's nose felt sore as she thought about it, and tears quickly accumulated in her eyes.
And Mr. Owl didn't feel Xu Qiaoqiao's mood at the moment at all. Even if he felt it, so what, would you care about what you think about your food?
Mr. Owl just wants to go back to his nest and enjoy today's prey without being disturbed by anything.
His nest was built on a steep cliff. During this period, Xu Qiaoqiao felt that the owl was speeding up. His wings were like two sharp blades, swooping straight on the web, and it seemed that even the wind was cut in half by him.
Xu Qiaoqiao was so blown away that her brain couldn't function properly and her eyes were filled with circles.
The eyes that had just flowed out were like kites with broken strings. They were really blown into pieces by the wind. This made Xu Qiaoqiao have to close his eyes, otherwise his eyes would be greatly damaged.
Finally, on a steep cliff.
Xu Qiaoqiao felt that she had landed, but her entire body was stunned by the wind.
I'm shivering from the cold, it's too cold, it's really too cold.
It would be great if we could hibernate directly.
And she is now on a cliff. It is so unique that this owl has built its nest in such a place!
Can he learn from other people of his race? They all set up in the forest, in tree holes or other places. It's normal.
But on a cliff, the chance of actually escaping is only 0.0000000%, followed by an ellipsis, zero one.
After this owl put Xu Qiaoqiao down, it looked down at her with its surprisingly big and bright eyes.
Xu Qiaoqiao shuddered and thought, this owl must be thinking about where to swallow her.
This owl is about 40 centimeters long. It should not be an adult, but a sub-adult, but it looks amazing.
But what about looking at yourself?
It's not even as long as an adult's hand.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought sadly, how could the gap between animals be so big!
"Goo!"
The owl hooted, and Xu Qiaoqiao realized that the inexplicable sounds he just saw were all made by him, and he heard them almost as soon as they came out.
It turns out that I was targeted so early.
The shadow cast in front of Xu Qiaoqiao became bigger and bigger, and she understood that the owl was getting too close to her.
It seems that he must have thought about where to start.
farewell.
Xu Qiaoqiao slowly closed her eyes, waiting for this moment to come.
But obviously, the god of fate still favored her. While the owl was eating, something disturbed her.
