We all know that feeling - a large lunch leaves us sprawled out on the sofa.
我們都很了解這種感覺:午飯飽餐一頓后,我們都愿意四肢伸開躺在沙發(fā)上不愿起身。
Similarly, this juvenile red-tailed hawk was rendered immobile after scoffing down another bird.
這只紅尾鷹雛鳥也是如此,它在狼吞虎咽吃掉一整只鳥后,完全動(dòng)彈不得了。
Photographer Steve Shinn managed to snap the stricken bird of prey on its back after a meal of a coot near a nature preserve in Long Beach, California.
攝影師斯蒂夫·辛在加州的西南部的長灘市的一處自然保護(hù)區(qū)拍下了這張照片:這只看起來有點(diǎn)受到打擊的猛禽在吃完一整只白骨頂雞后躺在地上起不來了。
'I shot this just after a big holiday meal and think I could feel this bird's pain,' he explained.
他解釋道:“我自己也是在享受完節(jié)日大餐后拍下了照片,我覺得自己完全能感受到它的痛苦?!?
'I found this bird in a very unhawklike position looking very distressed. It had attacked a Coot near the stream and chewed away on it for about a half hour before it waddled about 50 feet and fell flat on his keister.
“我發(fā)現(xiàn)它以非常古怪的姿勢(shì)倒在地上,看起來非常痛苦。它在小溪邊獵殺一只白骨頂雞,花了差不多半小時(shí) 將獵物整個(gè)咀嚼下去,然后它搖搖擺擺地走了大約50英尺,就仰面平躺在了草地上?!?
'It seemed to be breathing well so I called some folks who work for South Bay Wildlife Recovery, a wonderful organisation that mainly works with raptors and other animals.
“它看起來呼吸正常,所以我打電話給南灣野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)中心的工作人員,讓他們過來看看。這個(gè)保護(hù)中心是一個(gè)非常好的組織,主要就是負(fù)責(zé)猛禽類和其他動(dòng)物?!?
'They had one their members on the way in minutes so I opted not to disturb the bird by getting it upright as being on its back is not a good position as it can interfere with breathing.
"保護(hù)中心的成員很快就趕過來了,所以我沒去打擾這只紅尾鷹,只是幫它保持豎直的姿勢(shì),現(xiàn)在這樣背部靠在地上的姿勢(shì)不太好,可能會(huì)影響呼吸?!?
'The stuffed critter was collected and taken in for some rest and recovery.
“工作人員將這只痛苦的小紅尾鷹帶回保護(hù)中心,準(zhǔn)備讓其休息并照顧到康復(fù)為止。”
'A day later it was sitting on a perch and seemed none the worse for the gluttonous rampage. They plan to return it to the same area as soon as recovery is complete.'
“第二天我去保護(hù)中心,看到它坐在棲木上,看起來完全沒有受到之前貪吃的影響。工作人員計(jì)劃一旦它完全康復(fù),就把它送回之前的區(qū)域?!?/div>
