Sivka attacks penguins that feed their chicks/ UNIAN collage, screenshotsUkrainian polarists managed to fix on the video as a white – the only “land” bird of Antarctic – takes food from penguins. According to the National Antarctic Scientific Center, it is usually normal behavior for this interesting being.

“Sivka attacks a penguin that feeds her chick. It can be beaten or beaten with wings. If” hunting “is good, then the food (paste from the wing) falls on the snow, and Sivka eats it immediately,” – said in the center.

The records also show how other penguins try to drive the white “brazen”, but they are constantly returning.

In general, the pads feed on the wings of seals and penguins, martin and cormoral pouring, and do not neglect any fall.

“They are in constant search for food and they are trying on a beak – suddenly it will be edible. So our expedition participants joke that if these birds were the size of an eagle, they would eat everything living, including some inattentive polarist,” – said in the center.

News from PolariEarlier, the Ukrainian polarists filmed near the Academic Vernadsky station, on the island of Galindes, an unusual event – the only “land” Antarctic bird, Sivka White staged a “bath” in water that was accumulated in a boat covered with tarpaulin. Scientists say they call this beautiful white bird a chicken with a dove.

Sivka does not have swimming sections on the paws, and therefore lives exclusively on land, but it is also necessary to “take a bath” by these birds. Water purifies birds of dirt, parasites and bacteria. If not washed, pests that cause infections and diseases can settle in it.
