I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 685 The little glutinous rice seals are freezing and crying~ Hug the cutie!

Lin Yang and Yue'er were very pleased with this.

After the live broadcast room was closed, the sky had completely darkened.

Sea Eagle Dabai, who has been acting as the navigator in the sea ahead, has returned to the deck to rest at this time.

Since entering the Arctic sea, Aoao has been very excited. After all, as a cub of Siberian husky and tundra wolf, the Arctic is its hometown.

This wave is tantamount to returning home.

Therefore, the little silly dog ​​would bark twice on the deck from time to time, even more energetic than in tropical seas.

On the other hand, Little Cloud Leopard Yaya, the situation is not so good.

Compared with the unusually lively and happy little silly dog ​​Aoao, Clouded Leopard's spirit is relatively sluggish.

You know, this little guy was brought back by Lin Yang on North Sendinal Island, and its original habitat was the subtropical sea.

Entering the arctic cold zone is naturally a little uncomfortable.

The icy weather has made little cloud leopard so toothy that he doesn't even like to patronize his favorite deck playground.

Lin Yang and Yue'er were leaning in the cab of the yacht. Although they had already downloaded the broadcast, they didn't prepare dinner immediately.

Lin Yang is planning the next voyage to the northern seas, and Yueer has a lot of chores to do.

For example, the Institute of Marine Biology in Longguo, as well as the IUCN World Conservation Union and the World Organization for Species Nomenclature, submitted relevant image data on the giant manatee in the North Atlantic, as well as some identification information.

On the one hand, establishing an 'identity card' for the North Atlantic giant manatees and including them in the Red List of Endangered Species may also provide them with effective protection.

In the red list rating of incn IUCN, the North Atlantic giant manatee newly discovered by Lin Yang is defined as 'Endangered Level', and its rare and endangered degree is second only to 'Extinct in the Wild'.

Regarding these news, the IUCN World Conservation Union also released relevant tweets immediately.

Compared with the definition levels of rare and endangered wild animals, many ordinary viewers actually don't know much about them.

Even though Lin Yang had popularized science with water friends more than once during his sea voyages, there are still many people who don't know much about it.

Classes such as Vulnerable, Least Threatened, Data Deficient, Endangered, Near Threatened, Extinct in the Wild, and Extinct are relatively complex.

In Longguo alone, the Chinese Baiji dolphin, which few people know about, is actually classified as endangered in the wild.

The so-called 'wild extinction' is actually very close to extinction.

If a creature is judged to be extinct in the wild 50 years later, it is still impossible to find a species at the level of "extinct in the wild" in the wild.

Then, this species may be declared to disappear completely from the earth, which is the level of 'extinct'.

As for the giant panda, the national jewel of Longguo, due to the outstanding achievements in conservation and protection, the number of species has increased, and it has gotten rid of the label of "endangered animal".

Therefore, whether it is planning the next voyage or submitting information about the giant manatee in the North Atlantic to relevant international agencies, it is a very heavy workload for Lin Yang and Yue Er.

Therefore, in the next two days, both of them are in the state of sailing and working, and they don't have much free time to interact with water friends live.

Early morning of the third day.

According to Lin Yang's arrangement, Yue'er opened the live broadcast room.

All of a sudden, the influx of viewers reached millions.

"Good guy, the anchor you follow, Grandpa, is finally on the air!"

"Anchor and Sister Yue'er, if you don't start the broadcast again, I will post a missing person notice qaq."

"Think about it, the host and Sister Yue'er must have a lot of things to deal with on weekdays."

"It means Miss Li."

"Then the question is, where is the anchor now? I'm very curious!"

"I see glaciers! Floating glaciers!"

"As far as the eye can see, it's like a frozen planet with no traces of human activities. It's amazing! The host seems to have entered another world!"

however.

In the early morning when Lin Yang's live broadcast room was just opened, the careful water friend found a living animal in the camera!
It looks small in size, white all over, and looks very cute!

At the same time, Lin Yang also received the identification information feedback from the system:

[Congratulations to the host!A new animal was photographed, its name: Harp Seal!Attributes: Chordate Phylum, Mammalia, True Animals, Carnivora, Pinnipeds, Sealidae, Harp Seals!Distribution range: cold sea area. (Aliases: Greenland seals, ice lover seals, lyra seals, small glutinous rice dumpling seals.)]

jijiji~
Even though there is still some distance from the little seal spotted by the camera, the microphone in the live broadcast room can still pick up part of the voice.

Lin Yang seemed to be very interested in the new animals that were filmed again in the live broadcast a few days later.

Actually.

In terms of the rarity of species, this shape is like a harp seal with soft and cute glutinous rice dumplings. The overall number of species is very large, and it is not a rare animal.

However, this kind of seal is widely known on the Internet. Even if you don't know its habits and attributes, or even its name, you are very impressed with this snow-white and cute little guy.

It is also known as the cutest seal in the world because of its cute appearance when it was a larva.

However, after the harp seals become adults, their cute form will completely disappear.

Instead, it is covered in black mottled like a harp pattern all over the body, hence the name of the harp seal.

At this moment.

The water friends in the live broadcast room have already completely fried the pot!
"Good guy! I didn't live broadcast for three days, and I made a new discovery just after the broadcast!"

"I seriously suspect that this is a baby seal released by the props team. (Manual dog head to save life)"

"It's so cute! It's like a big ball of 'Nuomi Ci ice cream'!"

"The glutinous rice cake you mentioned is my favorite! It costs one yuan each, and it is simply the best companion in the hot summer!"

"I've always seen this kind of seal on short video platforms before, but I didn't expect the anchor to actually capture a live glutinous rice seal!"

"Cute! Want to masturbate! awsl!"

for a while.

The live broadcast room has continuously climbed to tens of millions of online friends, and because of the pictures captured by the camera of Lin Yang's live broadcast room, the live broadcast room has been turned into a large Awei mass grave!
Yue'er was also very happy pointing to the distance.

She couldn't hide her excitement and said to Lin Yang: "Brother Yang, we seem to have photographed a harp seal! This polar sea creature is at the level of a small Internet celebrity on the Internet!"

"Who can refuse a cute little seal who is like a squeaker! The answer is no one!"

One thing to say, sailing in the relatively cold Arctic waters is actually relatively tedious.

As far as the eye can see, even the number of seabirds is much less than in the tropics and subtropics.

Even if you want to fish and dive every day, the catch and experience are not very good.

During the relatively boring voyage, Yueer is actually happier than the water friends in the live broadcast room to meet such a cute little seal.

Lin Yang was relatively calm. He smiled and said to the water friends in the live broadcast room: "The real scientific name of this kind of seal is 'harp seal'. Because of its habitat, it is also called Greenland seal and love seal. Ice seals."

"Their numbers are not rare, and they are very large. It is not unusual to encounter harp seals in the Arctic, just like catching fish in a fish pond."

"However, it is still a very good opportunity to take pictures of their posture at close range."

Although in the northern waters, this cute and cute little seal is almost everywhere.

But because the North Pole is relatively inaccessible, during the outdoor live broadcast, the Greenland seals in the North Pole were photographed. What Lin Yang said was nothing unusual, but it was "unique" in the eyes of the audience!
"Why isn't it called a glutinous rice seal? Or a snow seal is fine! Harp seals and Greenland seals sound very inconsistent with their images."

"The brother in front is right, they are as cute as glutinous rice balls!"

"You don't understand this! Although I don't understand either, I think there must be a reason."

"Is there a big brother who can explain to the popular science, what is the origin of the name of this harp seal?"

"Because this snow-white glutinous rice dumpling seal is only so cute when it grows up, the white hair will fall off and be replaced by black harp markings on the gray body, so this spotted seal is also known. They're called harp seals."

"So, they won't be cute when they grow up? Tired and don't like qaq."

"Good guy, is it possible that you still have a baby face when you get old? Animals are the same as humans, and they can't always look the same."

Anyway.

At present, the audience base of Lin Yang's live broadcast room is relatively large, and there are many water friends who know more about related marine life.

Therefore, many relatively simple questions have already been answered in the interactive bullet screens of the water friends in the live broadcast room, and Lin Yang does not need to worry about it at all.

Even so, Lin Yang still briefly introduced the cute little seals that were photographed. After all, everyone is a curious baby, especially for cute new things, and naturally wants to know more about them.

Lin Yang glanced at the barrage message in the live broadcast room, and then he patiently explained: "This kind of seal, which looks very small, can grow up to 1.7 meters when it grows up, which is equivalent to the height of some humans."

Yue Er took over the conversation and said: "With the same body length, harp seals can grow up to 130 kilograms after adulthood, which is almost twice as heavy as humans!"

There is nothing wrong with that.

Just from the chubby figures of these seals when they were young, it is not difficult to see that they are all fat!

When I was a child, I was a little fat man, and when I was an adult, I grew up to be a big fat man!
Lin Yang then said: "Being chubby is the survival requirement of seals. In the colder arctic waters, if the body does not accumulate too much fat, it is difficult to withstand the severe cold."

"So that's the case, thank you for the popular science."

"So, if humans survive and evolve in cold regions without the use of cold-proof materials, will they accumulate more fat during the natural evolution process?"

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, and adaptation to the environment are prerequisites for the continuation of species!"

"Because this little seal is chubby, it will look even cuter!"

"The yacht is getting closer and closer to the little glutinous rice dumpling seal, can the anchor lick it instead of us?"

"Its round eyes are watery, it looks so cute!"

"This kind of animal should be very rare, after all, I have never seen it before!"

however.

Lin Yang's next answer left everyone stunned!
He shook his head and said: "This kind of harp seal is protected when it is 25 days old, but once it grows up, a certain number of seals are legally hunted every year."

Lin Yang's answer surprised the water friends!

This kind of cute little seal is not only a rare protected species, but also only has a 25-day juvenile protection period?
But also in danger of being legally hunted?

This is simply incredible!
Although Yueer has been trying to improve her knowledge of marine life since traveling with Lin Yang, even the basic information of harp seals is already very good, but this cute baby creature can be hunted legally of!
This took her by surprise!

Best of all, they only have 25 days of novice protection.

After this deadline, if caught by fishing boats, it can only become a commodity.

Because of Lin Yang's popular science, the water friends in the live broadcast room were instantly blown away!
"My God! Such cute seals, why kill them? Can they be sold for money?"

"Obviously it has economic value, otherwise it wouldn't be hunted."

"Can I understand that they, like bluefin tuna in the Atlantic and South Pacific, are species that can be hunted within a certain amount?"

"I disagree! Leopard is so cute, why kill Leopard?"

"Come on, buddies, you all know about seal oil, right? The price is very expensive and the market is huge."

"Besides, there should be seal fur, right? It's as expensive as fine fur."

"Understood. I don't know what to say."

Lin Yang nodded and said, "The greatest economic value of hunting harp seals comes from their fur and seal oil. Because the number of legal hunts is limited, rare is the most expensive thing. These two raw materials are not cheap."

Whether it is shark fin, fur, tuna, etc., all rare commodities are very expensive.

Of course, the price of the product made of 'harp seal' is not a problem.

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "In recent years, the quota for harp seal hunting has been decreasing. On the premise of weighing the overall number of their species, legal fishing will one day become a thing of the past."

"Of course, there is no need to make too much fuss. They are essentially the same as the king crabs we once caught in the Bering Sea."

The king crab also has a large number of species and a high economic value.

Therefore, the local hunting and fishing bureau will have different levels of legal fishing quotas every year.

The reason why people have two completely different attitudes towards the legal fishing of king crabs and the legal hunting of harp seals is simply because Alaskan king crabs are not cute.

so
Even for animals in nature, many people think that beauty is justice.

Yue'er scratched her head and said, "As for the cold knowledge about these harp seals, it's enough for everyone to learn about them. Let's focus on this little seal that we met by chance first!"

"Brother Yang told me before that the total number of this kind of seals is more than 750 million, or even more."

"Among the tens of millions of harp seals, meeting this cute little one is also considered fate!"

talking room.

Yue'er pointed the camera in the live broadcast room at the cute harp seal.

According to Lin Yang's previous popular science, under normal circumstances, a seal baby can live alone within a month or so of birth.

Now it seems that the seal that appeared in the camera should probably not be full moon, or even only a few days old, because it is too small.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi chirps, it sounds so distressing, can it not find its mother?"

"Will the mother of the harp seal bear the obligation of feeding? Many creatures in nature need them to face life alone after giving birth to their babies."

"Obviously, my mother went to look for food under the ice, and she might be able to come back to nurse later."

"It seems very helpless. Looking around, there are glaciers and the sea, and there is not even a snack to eat. It must be boring qaq."

"The little seal moves like a squirm. Don't they have a pair of small hands?"

"In order to be able to swim more easily, the forelimbs of these pinnipeds have degenerated into fins."

"That's right, I remember this knowledge point when the anchor had popularized it when he photographed walruses."

"Looking at the elder brother in front, he didn't listen carefully."

As some of the water friends in the live broadcast room said.

Pinniped marine mammals, such as sea lions, fur seals, walruses, manatees, and seals, have their limbs degenerated into fins, which can help these animals swim freely under the sea surface, but their ability to move on land has also been limited. shackles.

Everything has two sides. Since you have chosen more flexible underwater activities, you are destined not to be able to move freely on land.

This is like adding attribute points in an online game. Since the attack power is increased, the defense value cannot be selected.

At this moment.

Lin Yang's yacht was getting closer and closer to the little seal, because Lin Yang didn't plan to get the yacht too close in order not to hit the floating glaciers where the little seal lived.

If you don't pay attention to it and cause an accident, this cute little seal will be GG.

Yue'er stared intently at the picture captured by the camera on the screen.

"It seems to be very cold, its eyes are watery, and it looks like it is about to cry from the cold. I really want to hug it on the ice floe."

"Brother Yang, I remember we still have cod on board, right? Do you want to bring some fish to feed it?"

talking room.

Yue'er looked at Lin Yang expectantly, hoping to have a close interaction with the little seal.

However, Lin Yang, the captain, did not speak up, and she was not good at asserting herself.

Lin Yang nodded slightly and said, "Go and prepare the kayak."

Immediately afterwards, he added: "As for the cod, there is no need to bring it. It is too small to eat fish at all."

This is true.

Juvenile seals are almost fed by the seal mother, even though the main food of the harp seal is fish such as cod and herring.

But young babies cannot eat these foods.

Hearing that Lin Yang decided to get close to the glacier and get close to the baby seal baby, the water lovers were so happy!
After all, everyone really hopes to have a closer contact with this cute little cutie.

Under Lin Yang's order, Yue'er quickly prepared a kayak speedboat from the lower deck of the yacht so that the two of them could approach the glacier.

In colder seas with ice floes, even if you use a kayak, you need to use special materials, otherwise it may be scratched by sharper ice floes.

The reason why the two of them didn't use the speedboat was because they didn't want the too noisy engine sound to disturb the naive harp seal that seemed to be moving on the ice floe.

Obviously, such details were also discovered by the water friends in the live broadcast room.

"The host and Sister Yue'er didn't choose to use a speedboat to approach the glacier. Was it because they were afraid of scaring the glutinous rice dumplings?"

"Who can bear to see such a naive little cutie and panic?"

"Is it looking for its own mother? With its eyes closed, it barks and screams, it looks really distressing!"

"Such a cute seal, why do you want to kill it? Refuse seal products, start with you and me!"

"Cute and want to jerk off! awsl"

The water friends in the live broadcast room have never seen this small animal named Greenland seal through the camera, especially the live broadcast.

In the eyes of everyone, such a cute gadget should be a relatively endangered marine creature.

But after Lin Yang’s popular science just now, people know that in the vast northern waters, there are actually a large number of such Greenland seals, even as many as several million.

Because of this, there is a matching kill every year.

There is no doubt that this kind of cold knowledge of the ocean, while opening the door to a new world for all water friends, is unacceptable in their hearts.

However, the laws of nature and the balance of species are not determined by the appearance of a certain creature.

Of course, this is not the end point that Lin Yang and Yue Er want to discuss.

What they are most curious about now is what happened to the little seal that was screaming on the glacier in the camera?

Careful spectators noticed that there was a circular hole on the surface of the ice floe.

After Lin Yang and Yue'er got on the kayak, she said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "The hole on the ice floes should be the entrance and exit for the mother seal to go into the water to hunt for food. The baby seal is waiting at the entrance of the hole, it should be waiting for it Mother came back to breastfeed."

Like other marine mammals, baby seals will accompany their mothers at the beginning of their birth.

But relatively speaking, the time that seals spend with their mothers is very short.

Perhaps in only half a month, their mothers will leave the babies, and let such cute little ones be self-reliant in the ice and snow.

In the footage of the live broadcast room, the eye sockets of the cute little seal seemed to be moist.

It crawled slowly on the snow, as if it was very hungry.

Maybe it's because it hasn't had mother's nutritional supplements for a long time. It shook its head and moved its body on the ice floes, as if searching for something, but it still couldn't find it.
