温柔的鳄鱼妈妈,佛罗里达(摄影:Chris Johns )
尽管有70多颗利牙和血盆大口,在佛罗里达Everglades国家公园内,当鳄宝宝快出世的时刻,雌鳄鱼展现出她母性的一面。轻轻的夹住一只蛋,缓缓的送到舌上,温柔的感知蛋内的生命气息:一旦里面有响动,她就嗑开蛋壳,头部前倾,让鳄宝宝安然出世。
Despite 70-odd teeth and a notoriously nasty bite, a female alligator in Florida’s Everglades National Park demonstrates a delicate touch when the time comes for her eggs to hatch. Gently grasping an egg in her mouth, she rolls it on her tongue, feeling for signs of life. If she senses something stirring, she cracks the egg open, then tilts her head forward to let the baby emerge.
