Passionate Love Song Fatal to Capercailzie
The male capercailzie ends his love song in a moment of deafness lasting about two minutes, during which hunters exploit his distraction. In Europe and Asia, hunters target this large grouse only in the breeding season, using the deafness to approach before the next call. The bird, known as the deaf one in Russia, can hear a twig snap half a mile away when not singing.
