| dc.description | Hood Mockingbirds, endemic to the island of Española in the Galapagos Archipelago, have been observed to be more aggressive than has been typically reported. Well beyond the typical "service" of removing ectoparasites from marine iguanas or bits of their shedding skin, and even the pecking at wounds to drink blood as reported for mockingbirds in highly restricted parts of these islands, some individuals on this particular island continue pecking at the relatively insensitive tail tips of these large lizards until they have removed several centimeters of tissue. | en-US |
| dc.description | Los cucuves de Española pueden ser más agresivos de lo típicamente reportado. Más allá del "servicio" de extraer ectoparásitos y piel seca, o del beber sangre desde heridas como en otros sitios del archipiélago, algunos individuos siguen picoteando a las colas de las iguanas marinas hasta sacar unos centímetros de tejido. | es-ES |
