Bald eagles prefer to live near large bodies of water such as lakes and oceans and in areas with a good supply of food to eat and trees to nest. They are found largely in North America including Canada, northern Mexico, Alaska and the United States. The bald eagle is a North American bird of prey that is one of the rulers of the North American skies. It is about 71 to 96 centimeters long, has a wingspan of 1.68 meters to 2.44 meters, and weighs between 3 and 6.3 kilograms. Those who like the bald eagle will surely be impressed by its wonderful appearance with its yellow eyes, beak, and feet; dark brown plumage and white head. This bird has a majestic and majestic appearance. Unlike other eagles that eat carrion, bald eagles have a very strong hunting ability, they fly in the air, run on land and can swim in water. Everything in its eyes can become prey of this bird. Records show that a bald eagle tried to grab a large brown bear by the nape of the neck, possibly because the opponent’s fur was too thick to “take action” so they had to give up. . Even the subterranean rulers of North America are seen as prey by them, which shows that they are extremely “big” birds and are considered to represent bravery. Therefore, the fact that the bald eagle can become the national banquet of the United States seems to be not difficult to speculate. However, things did not go so smoothly, because Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding members of the United States, considered it simply inappropriate to represent the image of the United States. Franklin believed that the choice of turkey as the national bird was preferable because they were hardy and strong, never surrendered without a fight, and represented the true American spirit. As for the bald eagle, Franklin once said in a letter that it has many bad qualities such as dishonesty and cowardice, even a species that likes to attack other small birds boldly. But it must be said that, although the bald eagle is brave and good at fighting, the selfishness and cruelty of this bird is undeniable. In a nest of young birds, the strongest will try their best to get food, which can cause their siblings to die from malnutrition; When food is scarce, the larger bird will even kill and eat other young birds directly in the nest. Not only that, bald eagles are also openly hostile to humans. They plunder the fisherman’s catch at sea, and on land kill herders’ lambs, even adult sheep. In 1983, the Wilson Gazette recorded a case in which a bald eagle killed a 60-kilogram pregnant sheep. The most unbelievable thing is that there are reports that this eagle even hunts children. Either way, in the past, people in the US have developed a hatred for this bird, and some local governments even offer rewards for hunting bald eagles. Along with the widespread use of the pesticide DDT in the last century, the eggshells of birds have become thinner and more fragile, as have habitat reductions, collisions with power lines, and other reasons. Elsewhere, the number of bald eagles has plummeted. In the 1950s, only 412 of the 48 states of the continental United States remained, of which Alaska killed about 70,000 bald eagles in the first 12 years of the 20th century. After a successful pairing, the bald eagle couple will choose a tall and sturdy tree, they will frame the tree underneath and outside with branches, and then spread thick weeds and other animal feathers to make a nest. . When they have free time, they will do nothing but look at their nest. This nesting behavior lasts for the rest of their lives (about 20 – 30 years), they will constantly repair and as a result their nests get bigger and heavier – becoming the largest bird’s nest on the planet , with an average diameter of about 2.5 meters to 4 meters. Especially with the nests weighing up to 1 ton, it is definitely an extremely luxurious residence among birds. The largest bald eagle nest found to date is near the city of St. Pittsburgh, Florida, 2.9m wide, 6.1m deep and weighs more than 2.7 tons, and obviously it has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records. Of course, not all bald eagle nests are centuries-old and highly durable homes. Due to inappropriate site selection, many nests are often destroyed by storms in less than 5 years, or broken down by branches.

This breed of chicken has a very long tail, which can be up to 7m long. The Onagadori chicken is unique in that its feathers, downy feathers as well as horse feathers develop throughout life. Besides, a highlight of this chicken breed is possessing a very long tail, which can be up to 7m long. It is estimated that each year Onɑgadori’s tail will increase by 1-1.5 m depending on how it is cared for. Because of its beautiful plumage, Onagadori chickens are often kept as pets or for display purposes. In Japan, the Onagadori chicken is a noble breed that has been protected by the government of this country for many years. Even the Onagadori chicken is considered to have an important role in Japanese culture. According to records, Onagadori chickens in the Thien Bao period (Tenpo) with a length of over 2m were common; in the Meiji period up to 3.6m. Until the Showa period (1926 – 1989) a length of about 8m was common, with the exception of a length of 13m in 1970. The tail feathers of a banana chicken were recorded to reach a length of 7 to 10cm per month and an individual reaches a tail length of up to 3m in 3 years. The tail length of the burnt variant is 8.9m while the tail length of the swallow variant was 10.3m circa 1965. Thus it is also the strangest of the nearly 10,000 feather species known to date. now and is the result of a passionate breeding process. The Onagadori chicken is unique in that the percentage of feathers, down feathers as well as horse feathers develop throughout life. Hens are similar to hens of other long-haired breeds. There are many levels of quality in Onagadori chickens: The highest levels are those with two to three pairs of feathers and between 60 and 70% of the tail feathers remain unchanged. The quality of Onagadori chickens also depends a lot on how they are raised and chickens with the highest genetic quality cannot develop to the desired length if the rearing regime is not appropriate. Onagadori chicken feathers are very soft on the chest, can be blown into the feathers and they will move and stand up. Stiff fur is a sign of crossbreeding. The hen’s tail should be full of feathers, with long feathers and thick coat feathers. The swallow-colored Onagadori chicken must have yellow legs with yellow white ears. Another leg color in swallows is olive gray. The right ear is white, naturally genetically associated with a yellowish-greenish tinge of the leg pigment. Banana silver and cashew without a dark stripe in the middle of the mane and very little in the ponytail. Onagadori hens are good at laying and incubating eggs, if raised in large numbers, they should be artificially incubated and the chicks should be raised in warm and dry coops. The selection process is based on temperament (too aggressive chickens will bite their own tails, gentle and domesticated chickens are easier to raise successfully), the number of tail feathers (each rooster must have over 40 tail feathers and phoenix feathers). ) and code feathers. The Onagadori chicken, which grows in the mild climate of the southern Japanese island of Shikoku, is suitable for a climate that is neither too hot nor too cold. If raised in colder areas, the cage should be heated. If rearing in hotter areas, it is necessary to create shade and ventilation. If chickens are suddenly stressed, such as being chased by dogs, cats or children, they may respond by stiffening their feathers and then shedding them altogether. Roosters used for breeding often lose three-quarters of their previous feathers because of their aggressive mating activities. A rooster, when brought to its own cage, quickly grows its tail. In our country, the trend of raising ornamental chickens has also received a lot of response, the giants are willing to spend up to tens, hundreds of millions of dong just to own 1 Onagadori chicken to “play”. Some places specializing in Onagadori chickens said that when customers order, they will advise many different variations of Onagadori chicken. There are animals that can be sold for 45-65 million VND and which one is more beautiful, longer tail will cost over 100 million VND, which is normal.

Red tree bark flattened beetle

This beetle about half an inch long has a habitat from North Carolina to the Arctic Circle. They live under the bark of a tree and their bodies are purposefully designed to survive the harshest conditions in mid-winter.

The arctic climate in August acts like the resting climate for this species. In laboratories, they can withstand freezing temperatures up to -150 degrees Celsius.

In fact, this is the coldest we’ve ever seen. They can overcome this extreme cold by forcing 30-40% less water in the body and preserving the remaining water by using antifreeze proteins between the cell membranes.

Thyme beef

Muskrats have lived in the Arctic for a long time, from the ice age about 200,000 years ago. With double-layer coat, the first layer is a thick dark gray outer coat that reaches the ground long and the inner undercoat gives them very good resistance to cold to temperatures down to minus 40 degrees. , to withstand the rigors of the Arctic.

Muskrats live in herds from 12-24 in winter and 8-20 in summer. During the summer, musk cows live in humid areas, such as deep valleys, and move up into higher mountainous regions in winter. Their food includes arctic willow grass, lichen and moss under the snow. Thyme is raised for meat, milk and feathers. Currently this species is protected, so the number is kept at a stable level.

Great Greenland shark

The Greenland giant sharks live in deep waters in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions, and these giant sharks not only survive in the cold water, but also have the longest lifespan of any species. are there any vertebrae on the planet – an average of 300 to 500 years old.

Greenland giant sharks have an extremely slow metabolic rate that helps control temperature and prolong life, and they are also the largest shark, can reach 6.4m in length and weigh about 1,000kg . Therefore, this shark is also very slow, often only hunting prey that has gone to sleep.

The price for a 500-year-old shark’s longevity is also not small. Specifically, it not only swim very slowly, difficult to find food, but the body also contains many parasites. Sometimes it even has to eat scavengers to relieve its hunger.

Besides, scientists are also hoping, the study of 500-year-old shark’s DNA could open a way to longevity for humans.

Before that, indigenous people in Greenland and Iceland used to believe in increasing longevity by eating Greenland shark meat.

Greenland shark meat is considered a specialty in Iceland, although toxic if not handled properly.

Snow Sheathbill

The snow Sheathbill is a brave, white, dove-like bird; This is the only native bird that lives on the surface of Antarctica and is the only species to breed here.

With their thick fur to help keep them warm, they live mostly on the ground, trying to pick up other birds’ scattered food scraps. They are also the only birds in Antarctica that do not have membranes.

So how can the snowy Sheathbill keep his toes warm while spending so much time on frozen ground? The secret lies in their life-long “bounce hobby”, they spend a lot of time hopping from leg to foot in order to reduce the coldness from the surface of the ice and snow. Furthermore, Snow Sheathbills also possess an extremely thick, fine coat that helps them retain heat well.

Weddell seals

If you are looking for a mammal that loves a few dozen degrees of negative cold every minute, then you will definitely love the Weddel seal.

They are the farthest Antarctic species of any kind, and spend most of their time living underneath the Antarctic ice, where they can hunt and avoid being caught by killer whales.

With the ability to dive deep to a depth of more than 600 meters, Weddell seals can stay underwater for up to 45 minutes and if they cannot break the ice to get the oxygen they need, they use their teeth to dig a hole. take the gas.

Antarctic seawater is actually warmer than surface air (which can drop to -70 degrees Celsius), so especially during intense winter storms, seals will stay warm by diving into the ocean. .

The arctic soil squirrel

If the current epidemic in the world makes you want to hibernate, you can consider the Arctic ground squirrel as an example.

Living in the arctic tundra in North America, where temperatures can drop below -63 degrees C in winter, they can escape the coldest winter by burrowing underground and sleeping for as long as eight. the month of the year.

When hibernation, the temperature in the brains of these squirrels can drop to just above freezing, while the body temperature can drop to -2.9 degrees C and the heart rate drops to just one beat per beat. minute. When the hibernation time is over, the squirrels need about three hours to warm up the body again.

This ability of arctic ground squirrels is due to them being able to cut off nerve connections and synapses to hibernate, then reconnect them immediately after awakening and warming the body, almost 2 – Every 3 weeks during winter.

In addition to its sublime cold tolerance, the arctic ground squirrel is also famous for its ability to fast for 8 months. The arctic ground squirrel body has the ability to recycle its own nutrients during hibernation for many months.
