Imperial Eagle Aquila adalberti. National Park Cabañeros , Ciudad Real, Spain . 14:30 pm . The camera on the nest by SEO / BirdLife reported yesterday afternoon, a series of events of great impact and biological interest.
The cainismo , a phenomenon known to all, is a common occurrence in raptors when parental food intake is insufficient. Involves death or removal of chickens less developed stem from the stronger or novice. Yesterday afternoon, the largest chicken attacked and moved to the smaller outside the nest platform. The toddler was hit, and quite lost. It remained a few hours, while his elder brother also to medium chicken attacked, giving him a beating but never to throw the nest.
was clear that the fate of the two chicks was weaker death. But the mother, which often tends to remain impartial to these events (let the strongest win out, thus ensuring that at least one out later), behaved in a touching, and surprising rescued two chickens in a long process that was recorded by the webcam's nest. All of a document of great educational value and ecological. I roll it up again, I leave the video of "ransom."
is being carried out now an emergency plan to rescue at least the weaker chick. It is a kind English emblem of nature, and highly threatened. Therefore, the intervention is justified, in my opinion. Each rod is a jewel of imperial developments must preserve.
