An owl spreads one wing and circles in place, man initially thought it was funny but felt sorry after seeing it clearly.
Nowadays, people's activity range is becoming wider and wider, and humans are appearing in places like forests and oceans. However, this also brings a problem: the things they leave behind may inadvertently harm animals living in these places.
Dr. Xiao Ming wants to tell you a story today. The story happened in New Jersey, USA, by the side of a lake. A man was fishing by the lake when he suddenly heard an owl hooting not far away.
The hooting sound was unusual, with a hint of pain. The man quickly got up to find the owl. When he found it, he saw an owl with its wings spread, turning in a circle.
When he saw this scene, the man initially thought it was funny. But when he looked closely, he felt very sorry for the owl. It turned out that the owl’s wings were entangled in a fishing line, making it unable to free itself.
The man quickly took out nail clippers to cut the fishing line wrapped around the owl's wings. But the owl might have never seen a human before, so it didn't cooperate. The man had to put in a lot of effort to control the owl and help it escape.
Fortunately, the fishing line didn't hurt the owl's wings. Thanks to the man’s help, the owl regained its freedom. Dr. Xiao Ming felt quite complicated when he saw this.
Such things are not uncommon. Dr. Xiao Ming has seen sea turtles entangled in fishing nets, and seabirds with plastic bags in their stomachs. These things show us that humans are damaging nature. We hope everyone can protect the environment and create a cleaner Earth.
Dr. Xiao Ming explains: Owls are national level second-level protected animals in our country, so they cannot be captured or kept. So, let's put the idea of keeping owls aside.
Owls always have one eye open and one eye closed at night, because owls rest to prevent enemies from attacking. One eye is open to observe the surroundings, and the other eye is resting.
