黑色“帽子”,红色“眼影”,白色“礼服”,栖于枝上,拉直脖子,唱出“咯——咯——咯”的洪亮歌声,响彻山谷。这位“高音歌唱家”叫白马鸡,又名雪雉。雉,就是“善走而不能久飞的野鸟”。白马鸡不能久飞,一个原因是体型较大。它们体长约80至100厘米,体重约1250至3000克,是中国特有鸟类。
Elegantly wearing a white “dress” decorated with black “hat” and red “eye shadow”, it perches on a branch, straightening itsnecks and singing 'cluck-cluck-cluck', echoing through the valley --This "soprano" is called the White eared pheasant, also known as the Snow Pheasant. A pheasant is a wild bird that walks well but cannot fly for long. One of the reasons is its large size. They are about 80 to 100 cm long and weigh about 1250 to 3000 g and are endemic to China.
白马鸡不但身强体壮,而且胆子大,在人类接近的时候也不害怕。它们喜欢生活在高山和亚高山针叶林和针阔叶混交林地带,通常集成群体在白天活动。
The White eared pheasant is not only strong, but also bold, and not afraid even when approached by humans. They prefer to live in alpine and sub-alpine coniferous forests and mixed coniferous forests, usually moving in groups during the day.
作为“实力唱将”,白马鸡喜欢在清晨和黄昏的时候合唱,姿态非常挺拔,叫声洪亮。 “世上本没有路,走的人多了便也成了路。”这句话也适用于白马鸡的世界。由于它们经常在休息地和觅食地之间往返,久而久之便形成了一条窄窄的“马鸡路”。
As a "powerful singer", the white eared pheasant likes to sing in the early morning and at dusk, in the most upright posture and the loudest voice. "There is no road at the start, but as many people walk on it, it becomes a road". The same goes for the White eared pheasant. As they often travel back and forth between resting places and feeding grounds, a narrow road has been formed over time.
