Police officers from the forest public security bureau of Tianqiaoling town in Wangqing county, Jilin province, recently captured a group of photos that showed over a hundred crows fighting against a rough-legged buzzard they felt had invaded their territory.

During daily patrolling on Tuesday afternoon, police officers found hundreds of crows resting or seeking food while several crows swirled around a buzzard in the sky.

The buzzard, an animal under second-class national protection, is a kind of ferocious sarcophagous birds.

"Because the forest area of Tianqiao is covered by heavy snow for a long time, fierce competitions around territory, food and other resources between animals are quite common phenomenons," said police officer Liu Shaofu.
