Detailed introduction
The scientific name of the Racquet-Tail is Ocreatus underwoodii, and its specific habits are unknown.
In the rainforest, the hummingbird needs to fly thousands of times to maintain the energy required for its metabolism. It must fly constantly, racing against time. However, bees also need nectar as food. This inevitably leads to a competition between the two. For the hummingbird, the bee is a formidable opponent. Even a bee's sting can cause considerable trouble for a human (the sting is quite painful), so for a hummingbird, which is only the size of a human thumb, it's enough to pierce its heart. The destructive power is immense. However, hummingbirds have an advantage when it rains. Living in the jungle, even heavy rainfall turns into raindrops. Hummingbirds can then enjoy their honey. Raindrops, if they touch a bee's wings, will cause the bee to lose its balance and perish! But hummingbirds, protected by their beautiful wings, can overcome even temporary difficulties.
Protect wild animals and ban the consumption of wild game.
Maintaining ecological balance is everyone's responsibility!
