The bird is the rescue boat, accepting and transporting the carcass away.
Once, in the grasslands of southern Africa, the explorer Lewayan hit a vulture that was eating. The vulture was seriously injured and had fallen on the hippo's body, but it was still tearing the carrion.
So, is it really hungry? No, it is not hungry. When it died, Lewayan dissected its body and found that the food in its stomach was as much as 6 catties.
The vulture is a well-known glutton, and it ranks eighth on the list of the top ten glutton kings. Vultures eat very fast, especially when a dozen vultures huddled together to share a carrion. A vulture can swallow food equivalent to 20% of its body weight, so some people exaggerately say: even if it has just eaten a hippopotamus, it will still be hungry.
Vultures are extreme scavengers. A decayed and smelly corpse is extremely disgusting garbage for humans, but it is delicious for vultures. Rotten meat not only looks unpleasant, but also dangerous because it contains a lot of deadly bacteria such as E. coli, cholera, and even anthrax. But for vultures, these germs are like seasonings, which only increase the taste of rotten flesh, but do not make it sick. Because the vulture has a strong stomach like steel, its stomach acid can break down all the germs it swallows, including anthrax.
However, vultures are gluttonous not because of greed, but because of their due diligence. As a cleaner of nature, it must eat continuously to remove the carrion in time; only by eating continuously can it clean the earth, thereby satisfying the needs of nature and fulfilling the mission given to it by the Creator. Otherwise, the plague may happen in a blink of an eye. Some people say that in a hot climate, even if vultures stop working for a while, humans may encounter misfortune.
Whenever the sun appeared on the horizon, the vultures set off. The corpses are decomposing, and it must clean them up before the scorching sun can ferment the corpses.
Vultures are born with a miserable look, but they have beautiful ruby-like eyes. It glides in the sky, looks at the earth with beautiful eyes, and once it finds a corpse, it quickly landed. Once the vulture stops by the carrion, there is nothing to drive it away. If you don't finish eating the carrion, it will never leave. Even if you shoot at it, it will not leave. If you leave, you will return soon.
When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, the carrion on the ground was gone, even the bones were gone, they all entered the stomach of the vulture. Not only can vultures swallow carrion clean, they can also swallow bones.
So, how much blessing has vultures brought to mankind? Michele wrote: "People may be able to evaluate the role of vultures in cities, but no one can estimate their contribution to the desert blowing the wind of death." Therefore, as a bird of public welfare, vultures are very popular in the Americas. Legally protected. In Egypt, people not only love them, but also respect them. In the eyes of the Egyptians, vultures are not only nature cleaners and tombers, but also servants of life. They said: "Birds are the rescue boat, accept and transport the carcass away."
Vultures are actually undesirable because of their fierce appearance and carrion-eating corpses. However, it has made a huge contribution to the health of the world. Therefore, things in the world, no matter how big or small, can't just look at the surface. Only by looking at the essence through the surface can we see the truth.
