球：我们试图击进洞里的圆形物体。17世纪之前，球用木头或羊毛制成。17世纪后，人们把羽毛煮沸、压缩，然后缝制在皮封面内。19世纪50年代发展成古塔胶球（或与杜仲胶其它物质的混合物），20世纪，这种球的核心包覆条状橡胶。

Rather than look at helplessly her two babies die in succession, the female eagle thought she should do something. She pulled apart her own chest with the sharp beaks, the feathers that fell off her body being blowed here and there by the icy wind. With feeble strength, she told her last baby who was still at the verge of death:"Eat me…". Outside, the male eagle, who stood for a long time keeping close watch on the food, shook out the snow accumulated in her wings. After making a yowl, he made his best efforts to unfold two wings, flinging into the sky.

与其眼睁睁地看着两个孩子相继死掉，还不如……雌鹰这样想着，用它那锋利的喙撕开了自己的胸脯，脱落的羽毛被寒风吹得四处飘散，它用微弱的力气告诉最后一个还在死亡边缘的孩子：把我吃了吧……外面，伫立着注视已久的雄鹰，抖了抖翅上的积雪，长鸣一声，便奋力展开双翅，直冲云霄。

The result of clustering analysis showed that the relationship between Alauda arvensis and Melanocorypha mongolica was closer than others; the relationship between Eremophila alpestris and Calandrella cinere was closer than that between Eremophila alpestris and Calandrella cheleensis. But the relationships between the five birds and Galerida cristata were all far.

羽毛角蛋白凝胶电泳是在生物大分子的层次上，对6种百灵鸟的正羽羽片、绒羽和正羽羽茎角蛋白进行SDS-PAGE，聚类分析表明：云雀和蒙古百灵的亲缘关系较近；角百灵与短趾百灵亲缘关系最近，与亚洲短趾百灵的亲缘关系次之；而凤头百灵与这五种百灵的亲缘关系均较远。

Finally, the analysis of morphology that select nineteen morphological characters of six species of Alaudidae based on the Operational Taxonomic Units was made use of to verify the results of feather keratins.

最后，形态学分析方法，以种为单位，选取6种百灵鸟的19个表型性状，来进一步验证羽毛角蛋白的分析结果。
