It may not be unusual for birds to fly in the sky, but it is rare to fly without wings.
It is said that the following seagull, other birds need to flap their wings in the sky, it can be poured, fly directly to the back of the companion, and play the driving mode here:
This gesture is like a human surfing, and it is like you are tired of flying and taking a ride.... bird?
Anyway, netizens have made up the inner drama of the seagull:
I have wings and I don't fly, I rub other birds, eh, just play
The seagull below is estimated to have a psychological shadow. Sure enough, the process lasted only a moment, and then it turned around and slammed into each other, and the two birds separated:
Are you staying here to practice crow flying, or are you playing Royal Sword Flying?
The video began to go viral on the Internet at the end of last month, and the seagull's flight show quickly attracted 5 million views and 500,000 likes, and it also quickly triggered a hot discussion among netizens.
Because people instantly think of a series of similar scenes. For example, in the animation, the robot rides the robot:
Man rides a frog and rides a frog:
Even people "ride" people:
Some netizens found out the toys with similar shapes at home:
Cowboys flying in Toy Story:
and.... Real-life airplanes "ride" airplanes:
I think the most reliable thing is probably that the seagull is practicing the Rulai Divine Palm:
Talking about this, the problem is,
What are they doing?
Some media analysts believe that this may be a normal play between birds, that is, seagulls chasing each other in the air. At the same time, there is also a view that according to the previous "bird riding bird" situation, this may be trying to mate.
In 2016, this matter was discussed on the Internet, and some netizens once filmed an interesting scene in Australia, where a seagull stood on the body of another.
There was speculation at the time, but some researchers have pointed out that this pose is likely to be that a couple of seagulls are preparing to make a baby.
Because April is in the mating season range of seagulls, and their usual dating action is to stand on the other.
According to reports, many birds will use this seemingly difficult mating method, except for a few birds, most of the birds "make babies" by touching each other's cloaca. In terms of form, it usually requires a foreplay similar to combing feathers, and then the male will jump on the female's back:
Then we start to make a baby and complete the great harmony of life, of course, this process requires both partners to maintain balance together:

It seems that the seagull brother wanted to challenge a high difficulty, and was beaten by the "wife". Of course, this can only be regarded as speculation, after all, this behavior sounds too unreliable.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time humans have watched seagulls hitchhike.
It's just that in the previous scene, the creature at the feet of the seagull is a big fish:
The sea is constantly undulating, but the seagull driving the big fish stands firmly and looks quite leisurely:
According to reports, this fish is called the sunfish, which is not so much a hitchhiker by a seagull as it is a win-win cooperation.
Because there will be many kinds of parasites on the body of the sunfish, it usually chooses to let birds or other small fish help it clean up.
So this wave, this wave of seagulls not only hitchhiked, but also equivalent to opening a seat.
Of course, the interesting thing about nature is not only this, "driving" a creature to make it its own mount is not a human skill, it is rare to see "hitchhiking records" there are many, and the protagonist has a variety of creatures.
For example, on the back of a black rhinoceros, there is a small animal lying on its stomach:
According to reports, this little guy is a small carnivore called genet, and scientists believe that large animals will gather insects around them, which not only becomes its food source, but also a commanding height that can look around.
But obviously, it's not easy to sit still.
In addition, there are chicken brothers with dogs to run into the rivers and lakes:
In the snow, sheep carry cats around the streets:
Turtle Pack Cat:
Pack Dogs:
Driving a chicken:
Even a sheep stood on the turtle's body, and I vaguely felt that it was a bit "excessive":
For the sake of this world, Ah Gui paid too much.
Fortunately, they also have times to turn over:
In short, the more I look at it, the more I feel that the "hitchhiking" between animals is really wild
