[Machine Gun Head]
クチバシの上に奇妙な突起物があることで知られているオオサイチョウ。
この個体はその中に機関銃を内蔵している。産卵後、巣穴の入口をフン
と木くずで内側からふさぐ習性があるが、先の個体は巣立の際その機関
銃を使用し巣穴の中から出て来た。 目下、この銃の使用は巣立ちの時に限られるようだが、近い将来、人類
に銃口を向けることが 起きないよう祈るばかりである。 |

[Machine
Gun Head]
Great indian hornbill is known by having a curious protuberance
on the beak, in which of this individual, a machine gun is built
in. During the breeding season, the female has an habit to plug
up the entrance of the nest hole in a tree from inside using droppings,
wood shavings and so on. There it lays eggs and hatches them. This
individual was found leaving out of it breaking up the coverings
with machine gun. Till now the usage of the gun is limited only
at the time of leaving the nest, though it's not certain when or
if it will start aiming the muzzle to us.... |
