Keber

Keber

Representative of the fish-eating predatory fauna.
A large flyer, whose body is about the size of an adult. The wingspan is about 4.5 meters, sometimes 6 meters.
Has sexual dimorphism - males with a crest on the back of the head, no females.
They have keen eyesight, which helps them to hunt. Soaring in the sky, the keber looks into the surface of the sea, or into a body of water. And noticing a silhouette resembling a fish, it rapidly dives down, tenaciously grabbing prey with its hooked beak, which reliably holds the prey.
For fast swimming, the keber is helped by a tail with a kind of fin at the end, and strong legs. Legs also help the keber to feel comfortable on land. Indeed, when fishing, this animal tries to swim to the shore, and there quickly climb a hill in order to fly up to a higher and safer place. It is difficult for a keber to take off from the water or from the ground. He needs to jump down from somewhere, and then, spreading his wings, he can fly.
But this does not mean that this creature is defenseless on land. Anyone who dares to attack him will have to meet with sharp claws on the wings, and an equally dangerous beak, the blows of which will always be aimed at the face or eyes of the offender.
Kebers form strong married couples for life. All kebers flock to one place to breed. These are mainly small rocky islands. Having occupied them with hundreds of individuals, the males lure the females with their singing and posturing, and the females look for a suitable candidate for themselves. And those females who have acquired a male, in this cannonade of songs, are looking for their beloved, and the beloved, in turn, drives away other ladies from himself, waiting for his own, but if suddenly, his half did not turn out to be nesting (for example, died), then the male will wait a week, after which she will already take a new passion under her wing.
In clutch there are usually from 2 to 4 eggs. Parents take care of the offspring up to 6 months, and then young kebers "fly out" from the nest.
They are often found on the sea coasts, near lakes and ponds.
