Compared to the "Shanghaiing" we have all heard of, this is a very fun and full of legendary books, not only has a certain entertainment value, but more importantly, it also has an extraordinary documentary value significance. Many experts and scholars studying the culture, history, geography and mythology of our ancient society will refer to the book "Shanghaiing". This book records and describes many familiar myths and exotic animals, not only attracts our experts and scholars, even foreign experts and scholars have also tasted and studied this book.

The above mentioned the "Shanghaiing" recorded a lot of exotic beasts, the next to one of them, is the book recorded in the strange bird with four wings. You may think "Shanghaiing" is not a record of many strange animals, why this bird? Because this strange bird with four wings really lives on the land of Africa now. Is it possible that thousands of years ago in ancient times the Chinese came to Africa? Next we will come to find out.

The "Shanghaiing" is this description of this bird with four wings: and three hundred and fifty miles north of the said Angelique mountain, no grass, more gold and jade, Xii water out of it, and the east flow of injection Yardmen, its beasts are living and, its shape like a dolphin and red hair, its sound like a dolphin, there is a bird, its shape like a quarry. Four wings, one eye, dog tail, the name is arrogant. In layman's terms, it means that there is a mountain called Angelique, which is 350 miles north. There are no flowers and trees on the mountain, but there are a lot of gold and jade, and the water on the mountain flows eastward to Yardmen, where this strange bird with four wings lives. This strange bird has more than four wings, it is strange that it has only one eye, the tail also looks like a dog's tail, the name is called arrogant.

You will certainly think that such a strange-looking bird will only appear in the "Shanghaiing" such a strange book, how can it appear in real life thousands of years later, let alone on the African continent. That's right, the reality is that in Africa there is also a real existence of this strange bird. In the African continent survives a bird, it has four wings, known as the four-winged bird.

The four-winged bird, which resembles the strange bird arrogance described in the "Shanghaiing", also lives partially in the western parts of Senegal and Gambia and the southern part of the Republic of Congo on the African continent. What is the appearance of the tetra-winged bird, I believe this is the most important question for everyone. The tetra-winged bird is relatively small, with the distance from the head to the tail of the body only about thirty centimetres long, and the wings spread laterally from left to right are less than twenty centimetres. The life habits of the four-winged bird are similar to those of the nightingale, preferring to travel at night to feed and play only after the sun goes down, and to stay in their nests during the day.

Ordinary birds use two wings to achieve the need for flight, so what is the purpose of the African quadruped growing four wings? Is it just to look good? In fact, the role of the wings of the African tetra-winged bird is not to fly, they are also the same as ordinary birds, flying only two of the wings, the remaining two wings basically will not play the role of flight, only to breeding period, the other two wings will play their role: to attract the opposite sex to come to mate with their offspring.

Through the above descriptions of the strange birds with four wings in the "Shanghaiing" and the real-life four-winged birds on the African continent, I believe you are more puzzled. How could the author of "Shanghaiing" be so far ahead of his time to accurately record the four-winged birds that now exist only in the African continent?
