海边的红尾鸭,为了后代们的安全,会把刚刚孵化出来的小鸭藏在石头缝儿里,这样,小鸭便躲过了苍鹰的攻击,相对安全了许多。只是这些石缝又窄又深,最后连红尾鸭自己也无法将小鸭们弄出来。整个夏天,一只大红尾鸭能孵出二十几只小红尾鸭,但真正能存活下来的还不到三只。大多数的小鸭只能躺在深深的石缝里,在太阳的曝晒下渐渐渴死。 The red-tailed ducks on the seashore hide the newly hatched ducklings in stone stitches for the safety of future generations. In this way, the ducklings escaped the goshawk attacks and were relatively safe. It was only these narrow and deep seams. Finally, even the red-tailed ducks themselves could not get the ducklings out. Throughout the summer, a red-tailed duck can hatch more than two dozen red-tailed ducks, but fewer than three survived. Most of the ducklings can only lie in deep crevices and thirsty in the sun.
