About These Birds
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
最大型猫头鹰之一。翼展近2米。低沉的鸣声可传至4千米外。顶级掠食者。
Northern Gannet
The northern gannet is a spectacular plunge-diver, folding its two-meter wingspan into an arrow shape to hit the water at up to 100 km/h. Air sacs under the skin and a reinforced skull protect it from the impact. Bass Rock in Scotland hosts over 150,000 gannets, the largest single colony of any seabird in the world.
