world’s first! Herbivorous giant tortoise swallows a baby bird from the head
インド洋に浮かぶセーシェル諸島で、草食動物として知られるゾウガメが鳥を狩る様子が世界で初めて確認されました
For the first time in the world, a giant tortoise, known as a herbivore, was seen hunting birds in the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean.
The next moment, it opened its mouth wide and tried to eat the chick.
After that, I chased the chick for 7 minutes and finally swallowed it whole from the head.
This is the first time in the world that a giant tortoise has been recorded intentionally attacking and preying on animals.
It is believed that this bird was a tern chick that fell from its nest and was attacked.
It is believed that approximately 260,000 terns live on the island.
The research team analyzes that due to changes in the island’s environment, the breeding of terns has increased and opportunities for contact have increased, leading to the emergence of a new behavior of turtles hunting birds.
