It is not easy for a healthy egg to lay a small animal to break the shell. What's more, it is a big step for the weak peacock egg to break the shell.
This process will undoubtedly require patience.
Odis was very patient. He restrained his urge to help and gave the opportunity to Alexander himself.
The egg has cracked a gap, and the air cell membrane hasn't pierced yet.
The fetus is still wrapped in liquid and has not yet breathed air.
It is the first time for Qiao Qixi to be an egg-laying animal. There is no clear process of breaking the shell in his cognition. He just vaguely follows his instinct and uses his beak to pierce the membrane. The cracks in the egg shell have become wider because of his actions. a little.
The light pink beak tried to stick out the eggshell, and the two breathing holes on it tried to breathe the first breath of air after birth.
When Odis saw that little mouth, his heart melted, and he carefully guided: Don't worry, breathing smoothly will no longer be dangerous. You can wait until the egg liquid is dry before crawling out slowly.
The wet beak touches the air, and the liquid on the surface slowly dries out, and it looks a little harder.
Qiao Qixi, who was still closing his eyes, stuck his mouth in the gap to rest.
The human beings who were observing were anxious. Although they knew that the process was so long, they didn't see the little peacock safely out of their anxiety.
Eating and sleeping are not fragrant!
Part of the remaining egg liquid flows out from the gap, and part is absorbed by Qiao Qixi himself.
When the sun was at its fullest at noon, he had saved enough energy again and began to chisel eggshells.
Eggshells that have been cracked are easier to deal with.
Like an obsessive-compulsive disorder, Qiao Qixi raised his head and chiseled out a round piece on the top of his head, then stuck his head against the eggshell, lying softly on the edge of the egg.
His eyes were irritated in the sun, and they opened slightly.
The eyes of the little peacock occupy almost 1/3 of the head, and he is looking curiously at the outside world. Of course, he saw the gorgeous white feathers at first glance.
The adult body of the white peacock is too huge for him when he was just born, and he needs to raise his head to see the other's face clearly, so the eggshell on his head will fall off.
The little head with a bunch of tender yellow lanugo hair was exposed. It was quite big compared to the body part, and a little bald, but it was fleshy and looked cute already.
Witnessing the birth of his partner, Odis was very excited, but words seemed to be unable to express his feelings at this moment. He lowered his head and looked at each other carefully, then rubbed his cheek against the other's small head, expressing nostalgia.
Welcome.
Come into this world, Alexander.
Wow, Joe Qixi has been stunned, and he admired: Otis, you are so beautiful.
Odis, who was praised, was a little embarrassed when he folded his wings, it was all the species' fault: Well, you will be as good-looking when you grow up.
As for not wanting to become a white peacock, Otis will not say it, because the bear with a unique aesthetic likes it.
Will it look good when I grow up
Qiao Qixi suddenly didn't know what he thought of, and opened his eyes in horror, didn't he
What he thought was, where did he come from
Did Odis and other white peacocks give birth? !
Wasn't it a lack of energy before? I have always forgotten to communicate this matter. Of course, I am very tired now, but this matter must be asked clearly.
Odis, where did I come from
Qiao Qixi leaned on the eggshell and asked, as if squatting in a bath bucket.
Picked from another peacock's den.
Odis said directly, sounding justified, and didn't think there was any problem at all.
Qiao Qixi fainted!
I want to say, you are not called picking up, you are called snatching.
Wasn't it just robbing? At that time, she had a fight with the female peacock, and all her feathers fell off.
How do you feel now
Sure enough, Odis didn't take the matter of snatching eggs into his heart. In his mind, the bear was his, whether it was an egg or something.
He is now full of only the safety of the other party, and everything else seems to be unimportant.
Well, the natural world is the weak and the strong. There is not so much morality at all. Qiao Qixi no longer pursues his own life experience, as long as it is not born of Odis.
fine.
Qiao Qixi tried to open his mouth and screamed, his voice was very crisp and tender, a bit like a little chicken cub.
And the newly born little peacock is indeed not much different from the chicken. The sparse hair on his body is light yellow, but the hair on Qiao Qixi's body is stuck together, and it has not been fluffy.
Otis' eyes flashed because of his cry. Well, the newborn Alexander is so cute.
Human beings were relieved when they heard this tender cry and learned that the little peacock had come out of the shell smoothly.
This nest of eggs has a high rate of shelling.
Two of them have survived before. I don't know what will happen to them. Probably...very dangerous.
People brought the picture closer, and the little baby was still soaking in the eggshell... No, how could his eggshell be so neat
"It's so cute, it looks like a dessert." The employees who have seen similar shapes in the dessert shop can't help but blurt out.
Although this analogy is very wrong, it is true.
Professor He: "The little guy's hair is a little sparse, only a few on the top of the head and on the back, but it looks pretty good."
There is a saying that it is a miracle that this stolen egg can break the shell.
"Indeed, it's pretty good." Professor Han, who was on the front line, was sweaty on his forehead and palms, showing how nervous he was just now: "This male peacock has a very good motherhood. He will help break the shell and treat the little peacock. Very careful."
To be honest, some female peacocks in the peacock garden may not be comparable to the motherhood of this male white peacock.
It can only be said that it is the fate of both of them.
The current Qiao Qixi is like a group of fleshy powder dumplings, with his breath and heart beating, his body undulates visibly.
He especially wanted to know what he was like now, was it like the Gollum in the Hobbit
Only a few hairs were bald all over.
Asked Odis, the other party seriously said: very cute.
Qiao Qixi thought: I believe you a ghost, I have seen my hairless belly, it is really ugly.
Adult white peacocks stand by the nest and use their bodies to block the sunlight for their fragile cubs.
Although Qiao Qixi is now bald, a layer of hair will grow on his body after only two days.
Legend has it that egg-bearing animals will eat their own eggshells after they are born. This is a rumor. The eggshells are so stiff and the cubs’ intestines and stomachs are so fragile. How can they digest the eggshells
In the evening, Qiao Qixi, who had had enough rest, crawled out of the eggshell, and his fragile skin directly touched the thatch nest.
Fortunately, this layer of thatch was very soft and could not cause any harm to him.
During this period, Odis kept watching him intently, never going anywhere.
In the eyes of human beings, this dad is crazy, only the newborn baby is in his eyes, and nothing else can be seen.
Everyone couldn't help but ridicule: Haha, we all felt that we were nervous enough for the little peacock, but we didn't expect this white peacock to be even better.
The kind jokes made the atmosphere more relaxed. In order to celebrate the smooth exit of the little peacock, a chicken leg must be added to the dinner.
Odis, aren't you hungry
Qiao Qixi yawned in the den. He couldn't stand up yet, so he could only lie down softly.
It is said that Odis has been here for a day, and it will be dark soon, he should go and eat something.
Are you hungry
Odis didn't seem to think of himself at all, he only thought that Qiao Qixi was hungry: Then you wait for me here.
While the white peacock was out looking for food, the researchers immediately came out to take a few precious photos.
Originally planned to wait until the little peacock broke its shell and leave, but now looking at the fleshy little dumpling, Professor Han had a fire burning in his heart.
What a cute little life, living so hard under the eyes of so much anticipation, if this little guy does not survive, he will be depressed.
There is not much in the forest, but the most small insects.
The food that Odis brought to the newborn baby was bee pupae, a few fat and white pieces.
This is the best food he can think of for the little baby.
Fly to the edge of the nest and stand, he coaxed: open his mouth.
Didn’t Qiao Qixi have been tossing for a day today? He did feel that he needed to replenish his energy, so he opened his mouth obediently. During this time, his eyes were not opened, and he didn't know what Odis had fed him.
I only knew that it was soft and slippery, and it slipped in from my throat.
Although he was very curious about what it was, Qiao Qixi felt that it would be better not to ask, if it was something that he couldn't accept, wouldn't he want to starve to death.
He is still young, and he is full after eating a little.
Odis flew twice and found that he didn't eat so he ate some by himself.
There are many bee pupae in that hive, which is a delicacy to him, but he is not greedy.
For a long time in the future, that will be the bear's food reserve.
Bee:? ?
Odis usually eats a little bit of food left by humans when he is hungry, anyway, it can fill his stomach and have a balanced nutrition.
As night gradually approached, the forest with the extreme temperature difference between day and night suddenly became chilly.
The newly-born little peacock had no hair to keep warm, and the skin surface was attacked by the cold. It could not help but curl up, and at the same time made a tweeting sound.
Hearing the call, Odis quickly returned to the den, warming him with the soft fluff on his abdomen.
Qiao Qixi went to sleep when he was full. During this period, his body was developing rapidly. By the next day, a layer of fine hairs grew on the surface of his skin.
The lanugo hair on his head and back has dried up, now it is fluffy and cute, but because there are only two pinches on the body, it looks very killing Matt.
Qiao Qixi:...
It wasn't the killing of Matt's haircut that made him frustrated, but that he was pulling papa in the nest.
The thing is like this, when he woke up in the morning, Odis fed him again, and it seemed that he had eaten too little, and finally took a bite.
Qiao Qixi finally swallowed the food, and then felt a swelling in his stomach. Before he could think about what had happened, a smell of baba spread in the nest.
At this time, Qiao Qixi realized that he was pulling papa in the nest just now, ah, what kind of death scene is this large community.
Shame.
Although he has been a partner with Otis for many years, Qiao Qixi is still particularly embarrassed to let the other party see his embarrassment!
sorry…
He apologized.
If he accidentally polluted the environment, Odis must be the one who cleaned up the den, which caused trouble to the other party again.
Why should I apologize
Odis was puzzled. Before that, he had been staring at the polluting papa. In his mind, it was a good thing to excrete normally, so that he would not have to worry about Alexander's unhealthy digestive system.
When this happened, Otis didn't even blink his eyes. He moved the little guy aside first, then grabbed the part of thatch with his paws, took it out of the den and threw it away.
When he was idle and fine, he would pile up some spare thatch nearby, and when he returned, he brought back a bunch of it, and put it on the bottom dry and dry.
Qiao Qixi felt that the other party was doing these things, and his mood was complicated and emotional. To be honest, Odis was like a good father who was changing the diaper of a little baby.
After tidying up the hygiene in the nest, Odis stared at the baby's eggshell worryingly. This eggshell is no longer useful and should be thrown away.
However, Alexander himself was a little peacock in the nest, who looked lonely, and Odis didn't want to throw away his eggshell for the time being.
Leave the eggshell as company when you are away.
The life of a baby is very boring, and he sleeps when he is full. In summary, he eats, drinks and sleeps.
Little did they know that such a normal daily life is simply too rare in the eyes of humans. If he was not careful, this little peacock lived for 48 hours.
And it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, can eat and sleep, it is also very good... pull, the white peacock has to change the thatch in the nest three or four times a day, so busy!
What happened
How come 48 hours have passed in the blink of an eye
The main reason is to watch with gusto, and forget the time for a while. Now everyone quickly flips through the records to see what happened in these 48 hours.
This is a textbook-style cub-raising process, and you may have a major breakthrough if you carefully study it.
Several professors studied what happened for 48 hours overnight, only to find that they were ordinary, as if there was nothing special.
If anything, the living environment of this little peacock is not good, the ultraviolet rays outside are too strong, and the temperature difference between day and night is too great, not as good as the well-built environment in the peacock garden.
"..." Professor Han smiled bitterly, can't it be the cruel environment that played a role
So there must be something special that they have missed. Observe carefully.
When this little peacock was born, it was as weak as other little peacocks, but after two days of sunshine and rain in the wild, it looked more and more lively.
On the third morning, people captured a very exciting scene.
Qiao Qixi woke up hungry in the morning, lying in the nest and tweeting, urging Odis to go out and find him food, but he had a small appetite, and he was full after eating a little, and he refused to eat.
There is a kind of hunger that your parents think you are hungry. Otis doesn't seem to think that two bee pupae can be full. He perseveres and touches Alexander's little pink mouth: open your mouth and eat a little more.
But I'm already full.
Qiao Qixi mumbled and turned his mouth to one side. The meaning of refusal was obvious: you can eat it yourself.
This is little cute baby food. How could Odis eat it? He stood for a moment, then lowered his head and asked: Do you want to eat it
Only a few seconds have passed!
Qiao Qixi thought to himself, even if I am a straight boy, I am not so hungry: don't eat, you eat.
I don't eat this kind of food.
Odis seemed to have made up his mind in the end, he demanded with a slightly strong face: open his mouth.
Not only language requirements, but also very tough in action, Qiao Qixi could only look up in tears and accept a bite of rice.
The author has something to say: Researcher: I have discovered the truth about feeding a little peacock!
