Nature’s latest reality TV unfolded at Dingxiang Lake in Shenyang City, northeast China’s Liaoning Province, as flocks of migrating cormorants and gulls engaged in a fierce battle over fish and algae Wednesday morning. 🌾🐟
The urban lake, known for its abundant aquatic life, has become a seasonal pitstop for birds migrating across Asia. Locals reported chaotic squawks and wing-flapping as the birds competed for their share of the lake’s underwater buffet. One eyewitness joked, 'It’s like Survivor: Avian Edition out here!'
Ecologists say such interactions highlight the lake’s role as a critical rest area for migratory species. 'Dingxiang Lake’s ecosystem supports biodiversity even in urban settings,' explained researcher Li Wei. 'It’s a reminder that cities can coexist with wildlife.' 🏙️🌿
