The white tailed Eagle snatches food from the mouth of the Red Crowned Crane and is kicked by it

I've never heard of a fight between Snipes and mussels, but the scene of two big birds fighting each other is even more spectacular. According to the daily mail on December 8, a Red Crowned Crane and a white tailed Eagle fought in mid air for food. The white tailed Eagle tried to snatch fish from the Red Crowned Crane for lunch, but the result was not satisfactory.

The moment lasted only a few seconds. The photographer photographed the two birds of prey catching each other with their claws, spreading their wings in mid air. The attack was very strong, and there were more than 100 red crowned cranes around.

The Red Crowned Crane is larger than the white tailed eagle. It can be as high as 1.6 meters, and its wings are 2.5 meters wide.

Photographer Ciming Mei captured the scene at the International Red Crowned Crane center, a semi closed conservation center in Kushiro, Japan. She didn't expect to see the scene of flying crane and Red Eagle dancing.

The breeders feed the red crowned cranes around 2 p.m., while a white tailed Eagle hides in a nearby tree, waiting for the opportunity to fly by and take their food. Most of the time, these white tailed Eagles can succeed because they are so fast that they don't go back to fight the cranes. '

But the white tailed eagle was found stealing fish and had to fight the Red Crowned Crane. But may said that the white tailed Eagle should have lost, because it left empty handed and did not take the fish.

Red Crowned Crane is one of the most endangered species in the world. Up to now, there are less than 3000 red crowned cranes in the world. This base in Kushiro, Japan raises these red crowned cranes from November to March every year. Since 1950, the base has been responsible for feeding red crowned cranes that migrate here in winter.

Of course, the white tailed eagle is also a famous bird of prey in the world. It is only one meter shorter than the Red Crowned Crane.
