Generally in the animal world, the winner is king, and there are groups of wives and concubines, and they don't seem to have such a thing as "love", all they can see is nature.

The lion king you can see is always surrounded by more than one lion, and in the world of lions, it is the absolute winner who has the right to a mateThe previous lion king who lost the battle had a very tragic ending and would be abandoned by the entire lion pack.

However, there are also cases where not only monogamy, but also the steadfastness of the animal itselfIdentify one and wait for it forever,Even if it never comes back.

We have all been deceived by mandarin ducksIn TV dramas, a pair of mandarin ducks are always embroidered on the quilt to show the harmony of husband and wifeSo we have a long-term impression that the mandarin duck is always loyal and very single-minded.

In fact, we have all been deceivedMandarin ducks are far more ruthless than we thinkThe males among them will go out to find other females during the female's gestation and incubation period, and the mate of the mandarin duck is the most unfixed.

Some netizens said,Mandarin ducks are really seeing one and loving one, and they are proper "scum birds". But there are also some animals, and the "love" between them is sometimes incomparable to humans.

"I thought martyrdom was just an old rumor."The single-minded description of love in this song has been done by some animals, and the emotions between them are very impressive, and the old myth of martyrdom is truly brought to reality.

In Zhen Huan's biography, the emperor fell in love with Zhen Huan's sister Yurao, so he always wanted to include her in the harem, so he asked Yurao if he changed the law and gave her what she liked:"Do you like geese? ", the concubine likes the bird of loyalty".Yurao's answer implies that she doesn't want to enter the palace and wants her husband to have only one wife.

In fact, the wild goose is the representative of loyaltyIn ancient times, the dowry was called the bride goose, which means that the wild goose is loyal to its partner.

And there is such a story of wild geese, their "love" makes everyone who watches it moved.

beforeIn the frozen lake, there is a mother goose who has unfortunately been left there foreverBut next to her, a male goose with a flock of baby geese can always be seen guarding it for several days.

The cold ice separates them forever, if they are not rescuedThe wild goose's family will freeze to death on the iceAt this time, an uncle decided to save the wild goose's family.

The uncle went to the car and brought tools to drive them to the shore, and with the help of other passers-by, they ran back and forth on the shore of the bridge, and after an hourAll the baby geese were successfully rescued.

Father Yan thought that the child was stolen, solaunched an angry attack on the uncle, which undoubtedly made the rescue more difficultThe fragile ice makes rescue operations more difficult.

It didn't work out until the eveningIn desperation, the uncle had no choice but to use the baby goose as baitAfter hearing the child's voice, the father of the goose quickly flew over, which also allowed the uncle to successfully save the father of the goose.

Then the uncle brought the wild goose family home, and provided them with shelter and food, and the hungry baby geese ate their food in large gulpsThe father of the goose on the side refused to eat.

After a night, the geese still didn't eat, but kept walking back and forth, so the uncle had no choice but to put the wild goose father outdoors, and then he flew away, the direction was the lake, a few days later,Wild geese that had been frozen all the time were found on the ice.

And under the feet is the mother goose who has long been frozen to death in the ice, this is the romance that belongs only to them. "Thank you

Saved my children, but I can't let my wife die alone this winter."

Some netizens also said that wild geese are also called gray geese. After losing its mate, its status in the flock declined. During the migration, all the night watches are solitary geese, which I have heard from people who have experience in goose hunting.

And there is another kind that can really be called "fifteen years of waiting for migratory birds", and I will wait for you until the end of my life.

This is the real fifteen years of waiting, and the result finally lived up to expectations. In 1993, an old man rescued a female white stork that had been injured by a hunter, and under the careful care of the old manAlthough the white stork survived, the wings were permanently disabled, and the old man named him Marlena.

One day, the old man found that a male white stork appeared next to the white stork that had been accompanying him, and the old man knew that Marlena was finally not alone, and that Marlena had a suitor. He named the male white storks Ake and built them larger nests, butBecause of the migratory instinct of migratory birds, Ake flies to South Africa every year for the winter.

Every time Ake comes back, he has to fly a long distance, but the distance can't stop Ake's footsteps, flying 16,000 kilometers, even if the road is hardBut Ake persevered for fifteen yearsOver the years, they have conceived 66 children, but in the spring of 2017, Ake did not show up as expected.

The old man checked Ake's flight path and found that he needed to pass through a placeThere are often hunters who hunt migratory birdsThe old man wrote a letter to the local top leader with the feathers of Ake he had collected before, calling on the world to protect migratory birds.

Shockingly,The top leader of that place really received the letter from the old man,In this way, the whole world knows about the love between Ake and Marlena, and there is also a 24-hour live broadcast of Marlena's bird's nest, waiting for Ake to return.

When I saw Ake flying to Marlena's side covered in injuriesEveryone in front of the live broadcast hugged each other tightlyI will always be moved by this kind of loyal love.

There was a movie that was very popular before, and it also made the audience begin to regret what happened to Yang Yuhuan, that is, the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat".also successfully made two ancient poems appear in front of people's eyes once.

One is Li Bai's "Yun Xiang Clothes and Flowers Are Compatible", and the other is "Song of Long Hatred" made by Bai Juyi, both of which are made for the same woman, are all lamenting the love story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan.

The sentence "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I am willing to be a branch in the earth" is to use the loyalty of birds to express the depth of love, life and death. WhileThis kind of love is also the envy of many peopleHow many people hope to have such a person who can be with them for the rest of their lives, until the end of their lives.

Although human feelings are far more complex than those of birdsBut people's love sometimes has a lot of sighing and regrettable steadfast love.

AlthoughSome animals can resist the laws of natureAnd human beings have the brightest minds, and sometimes they will do some impulsive things. is like the purity between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the story, and it is also a kind of life and death that breaks free from the shackles.

But,Human world emotions are often much more complicated, and of course martyrdom is very discouragedThere are good things in the world to follow, but it is not advisable to give up your life easily.
