平稳着陆,双脚先行(A smooth landing, feet first)

今天,我们在加拉帕戈斯群岛海岸与这只蓝脚鲣鸟一起玩,庆祝达尔文日。据说,boby这个名字来自西班牙语单词“bobo”,意思是愚蠢。布比犬之所以如此命名,是因为水手们很容易抓住它们,因此认为它们不太聪明。正如查尔斯·达尔文在访问南美洲和加拉帕戈斯群岛时所做的那样,他们与众不同的亮蓝色脚很容易被注意到。这只海鸟的一个迷人之处是它们的交配舞蹈,其中雄鸟欢快地跺脚,蓝色的脚展现在眼前。这些鸟终生交配,并能通过它们独特的叫声认出它们的伴侣。
原文:
Today we join the fun with this blue-footed booby at the shores of the Galápagos Islands and celebrate Darwin Day. It is said that the name booby comes from the Spanish word 'bobo,' which means stupid. Boobies are so named because sailors could easily catch them and, therefore, thought they were not very clever. Their distinctive, bright blue feet are easy to notice, as Charles Darwin did during his visits to South America and the Galápagos Islands. A fascinating thing about this marine bird is their mating dance, wherein the male bird exuberantly stomps around with his blue feet displayed in full view. The birds mate for life and can recognize their partner by their unique call.
