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

Chapter 691 Narwhal: Look again~ I'll poke and wash you~
Lin Yang patiently said to the water friends: "These narwhals can forage at various depths in the ocean, whether it is seabed creatures, flounder, cod, or even krill, they can all be their food. "

Although they have a long tusk sticking out of their mouths, forming a long horn like a unicorn, it does not mean that there are no other teeth in their mouths.

This long horn also has many uses in the research of marine biologists.

On the one hand, long tusks symbolize combat effectiveness. In the narwhal group, they can show their status. Whether it is fighting for territory between families or seeking a mate, the most common use of two narwhals is to use their long teeth. The corner to fight.

On the other hand, because the long tusk has a more meticulous structure, marine biologists believe that they can judge the vibration of sea water through this tusk, so as to play the role of radar and find prey on the seabed , and even evade the attacks of natural enemies.

Because of the special nature of their teeth, they can distinguish the temperature of seawater and understand the surrounding temperature, such as the beards of little seals.

They can all sense the surrounding situation through some kind of special vibration, can find prey, and can avoid natural enemies.

Unquestionably.

In nature, the body structure of many wild animals is much more delicate than that of human beings. Even human beings are amazed at this aspect. After all, apart from the senses of hearing, smell, taste and vision, human beings do not have the ability to vibrate through the air, etc. On the one hand, the ability to perceive the surrounding environment.

On the screen of the live broadcast room.

The narwhal that was pushing the small ice sheet before was captured more clearly by the drone's aerial perspective.

The water friends in the live broadcast room were all amazed. After all, there are so many wonders in the world. Many people have seen such strange marine life for the first time.

"Anchor anchor! Is this narwhal pushing the ice alone? Or is it looking for its own mate?"

"Then the question is, if two narwhals are in love, if they want to kiss or hug, will the long, sharp teeth stab each other or kill them?"

"Brother in front, I can't help laughing because you have such a big brain."

"What kind of brain circuit can you come up with such a question?"

"That is to say, a long time ago, this narwhal with a strange shape and a cute look was also facing a large-scale hunting?"

"Now they should be a protected species. How long can such narwhals live?"

"Are the unicorns in Western mythology based on them?"

The water friends in the live broadcast room opened up the chatterbox like curious babies, asking all kinds of strange questions one after another.

The reason why the water friends are so curious is nothing more than that it has something to do with the unusual shape of this narwhal.

There is no doubt that compared with the Greenland harp seals captured in Lin Yang's previous shots, the narwhals recorded now are more magical in terms of shape.

Although the cuteness factor has dropped a lot, but in the knowledge of water friends, they know relatively little about narwhals.

After all, there are relatively few such strange creatures even on social platforms. If you don't know more about marine life, you may never have seen this kind of narwhal at all.

Unlike the little seal with glutinous rice dumpling, which has almost become an online celebrity emoji, the knowledge of narwhals in all aspects is cold knowledge for water friends.

Lin Yang gradually zoomed in on the aerial photography of the drone.

In the footage of the live broadcast room, the markings on the narwhal's body are black and white, and the long unicorn-like teeth have relatively white ends.

Lin Yang went on to say: "Don't look at the long teeth that look very sharp, but they are hollow inside. According to our human standards, the material of their long horns is relatively fragile. Although this kind of marine life is called Narwhal, but if it is a male narwhal, the probability of having two long horns also exists, but the probability is relatively small, only 2 in [-]!"

"What we are photographing now is just an ordinary narwhal. As for what it is doing, at its age, it is probably seeking a mate or taking ownership of the territory. Like all creatures, narwhals are also the same. Have a sense of territory."

Lin Yang continued: "Judging from the appearance of this narwhal, it should be an adult narwhal, because its fur is black and white, and its long tusks can reach two meters in length."

"It's impossible for a juvenile narwhal to reach that length."

at the same time.

In the live broadcast room, more narwhals appeared.

Moreover, watching the first narwhal discovered before, it seems that it is facing difficulties towards the approaching whale group.

As mammals, narwhals can rest on the surface for as long as 10 minutes, which is slightly different from marine creatures such as humpback whales and blue whales.

Because of the different living environments, they have different body structures and breathing methods.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of water friends, the narwhal swam towards the approaching pod of whales.

Lin Yang went on to say: "Male narwhals often use their long horns to fight, no matter whether it is under the water surface or above the water surface, life and death are not accepted!"

"If it's just normal play, narwhals will rarely stab each other with their spikes, but if it's a territorial fight or a fight between mates, it's a little more intense."

In the situation that Lin Yang mentioned, both sides would suffer, at least the loser would be bruised all over because of the opponent's long horn attack.

The tusk is their weapon, and it is also a symbol of seizing territory and status in the whale family.

"It really made me guess right. I thought that since the narwhal has such long teeth, it must have other functions!"

"Just as birds show off their feathers, some animals show off their calls, and even chameleons show off their colors!"

"Animals in nature will use their special characteristics to show their advantages that distinguish them from their own kind."

"So, if a narwhal's teeth are long enough, then its status in the whale group will be higher?"

Lin Yang nodded slightly and said, "The strongest male narwhal usually has the longest horn, and in the group, he has the priority to choose a mate."

While Lin Yang was chatting with his water friends, a group of about 20 narwhals appeared on the screen, slowly approaching the lonely narwhal
Obviously, the group of 20 narwhals and this single narwhal do not belong to the same family.

As a narwhal that strayed into its territory by mistake, what it will face next may be the challenge of long horns!

Undoubtedly, after Lin Yang photographed the narwhals before, water friends would never have imagined that in the footage of the live broadcast room, they could actually see the scene of a group of whales fighting.

In the footage of the live broadcast room, the narwhals who encountered the whales were not afraid at all.

It showed its long horns, and its physical fitness was stronger than that of the whales!
Facing the challenges from the group, it has no fear at all, and has a kind of momentum of "thousands of people, I will go".

Seeing this situation, the water friends in the live broadcast room are naturally happy to hear it.

Although these narwhals are listed as endangered species by the IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature, they are not endangered species.

However, the water friends didn't want to see the bloody scenes caused by the internal fighting of the whale group through Lin Yang's live broadcast room.

Fortunately, the entire battle was not as long as the audience imagined. After the two narwhals encountered each other, due to the disparity in their predictions, the narwhal that was left alone won the other narwhals with a longer narwhal. The respect of the narwhals, and within a short period of time, became the new leader of the whale group.

This caught the sailors off guard.

"My God, I thought there would be a thrilling battle, but I didn't expect the battle to end before it even started."

"No way, the strength on paper is relatively strong, and it is relatively convincing."

"Narwhal: If you see it again, I'll poke you!"

"Don't fight any more! We are all living in the ice and snowy northern waters, there is no need to kill each other!"

Yue'er patted her chest and said: "Fortunately, nothing more tragic happened, and of course it's best to live in harmony."

Lin Yang smiled and said to the water friends: "But having said that, in the final analysis, this narwhal has a relatively deep foundation. If it really fights, its combat effectiveness against the whale group should be crushing, so it is a person who knows the current affairs. For Junjie, this rule is also very applicable in the animal world."

Although in terms of shape, narwhals have unique and unique advantages compared to marine creatures living in the north.

However, in terms of body structure, they are not very different from ordinary cetaceans.

Lin Yang slowly raised the viewing angle of the drone, and then he said to the water friends: "Since the conflict between the whales has not completely broken out, we will not disturb them. In case the drone disturbs the current sea surface Swimming narwhals, that's not good."

Although from the level of species number, they are not endangered animal species.

According to statistics from relevant animal protection organizations, the number of narwhals distributed in the global population is about 8, which is more than an order of magnitude more than our national treasure giant panda.

In the cold northern waters, the natural enemies of narwhals and seals have a high degree of overlap.

Killer whales, walruses, polar bears, and sharks are their natural enemies.

Of course, the existence of these natural enemies is far inferior to the tragedy that was once hunted and killed by the northern Inuit.

Because of the premise that the current wildlife protection is relatively perfect, the overall number of narwhals will inevitably increase in the future, and the risk of their extinction is naturally out of the question.

"Thank you, the host, for letting us see this unique marine wildlife."

"If I hadn't watched the anchor's live broadcast, I would have never seen such a unique cetacean!"

"It's no wonder that the nobles of Western countries once regarded the narwhal's tusk as a symbol of power. Among the native wild life groups, it does play such a role."

As some water friends have said, among the narwhal pods, the tusks that look like unicorns grow bigger and bigger, which symbolizes a higher status in the group.

As Lin Yang gradually took the drone's perspective into the sky, the narwhal captured in the picture became smaller and smaller.

This wonderful encounter in the northern seas allows water lovers to see marine life like the unicorn recorded in mythology.

Followed by.

Lin Yang increased the speed of the yacht and continued to sail north.

He said to the water friends: "If there are no accidents, we may go to Greenland or Iceland next, and then we will land on the islands in northern Europe."

"Before this, we didn't know if we would encounter other marine life in the cold northern seas."

But as long as the journey continues, more possibilities will be created.

Yue'er took the conversation and said, "Compared to this icy and snowy place, I still yearn for the warm climate in Southeast Asia, but having said that, you can't see little seals like glutinous rice dumplings in Southeast Asia!"

"Similarly, I can't see this narwhal that looks like a unicorn. Anyway, this trip is worth it!"

"Of course, if I can see other more beautiful marine life, it will be a very good experience."

As the drone fee for aerial photography was withdrawn, the narwhals in the picture that had almost broken out in the internal battle of the whale group died down.

Although in the natural world, conflicts between territorial spouses and other aspects continue all the time, but they also yearn for peace more.

"Goodbye! Narwhal, I hope your tusks won't be broken by the thick ice. Although it's fun to play with pushing ice, you have to take it easy!"

Yue'er's smile was as bright as the sun in midsummer, and she waved her hand towards the sea area where the narwhal appeared.

The voyage of the yacht continued to the north, and the narwhals that were photographed just now seemed to be looking at flowers on horseback. Lin Yang did not plan to get in close contact with them.

After all, if you are poked by this thing, although their material is not particularly strong, it is probably not a particularly good experience.

As the yacht continued to sail northward, the narwhal just photographed became a new topic that water friends talked about.

"Although the shapes of these narwhals are very fantastic, I still can't forget the little glutinous rice dumpling seals I photographed before!"

"Yes, in terms of cuteness, although narwhals are very strange, they are far less cute than Greenland harp seals."

"So, will the host and Miss Yue'er go to Greenland and Iceland next?"

"Is there any special food there? Compared with the scenery, I pay more attention to the food!"

"Brother in front, I don't know if you have heard of 'pickled puffin'? This is a special delicacy that the Inuit people are good at. Would you like to let the anchor show you one?"

Yue'er glanced at the bullet screen messages of the water friends in the live broadcast room, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Something like 'pickled puffin' is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Moreover, the production process of 'Pickled Puffin' is inevitably a bit bloody, which does not meet the standards of Lin Yang's live broadcast footage.

Naturally, Lin Yang also saw the booing messages from some water friends, and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head and said, "This is really amazing!"

The water friends in the live broadcast room couldn't help being curious and asked one after another:

"What's a 'pickle'? Like our pickled sausage, bacon?"

"Sounds delicious, right? Puffins are like small birds, so big, what kind of meat can they have?"

"You don't understand, 'pickled puffin' is a naturally fermented ingredient!"

"All in all, the process is extremely disgusting, I don't want to describe too much!"

"The anchor must be very understanding, otherwise his reaction would not be so repulsive"

For the curious doubts of the water friends.

Lin Yang said with a smile: "'Pickled puffins' means stuffing puffins into the stomachs of seals, then fermenting them naturally, and even eating them directly without a campfire. Think about what it would taste like, anyway, I am Won't try."

"What's more, there shouldn't be such a cooking method now, and if there is, I will refuse."

In fact.

There are still foods like 'pickled puffins' even now, after all, there are too many people in this world who are curious.

Seals are not protected animals in Northern Europe. For example, there are nearly 30 legal kills in the Maple Leaf Country every year. This point has already been popularized to the audience when Lin Yang photographed the Greenland harp seal.

Yue'er quickly waved her hand and said: "Who started it, let's stop discussing such a disgusting topic."

Although everyone is talking about food on the surface, but in fact they are talking about uncomfortable food
Of course, there are tens of thousands of water friends in the live broadcast room. Naturally, many people have never heard of 'pickled puffins' at all, and they are still interested in inquiring about it, as if they are afraid of missing some delicacy that they don't know.

After saying goodbye to the narwhal that had previously entered the camera.

Lin Yang and Yue Er started their daily work on the yacht respectively.

Lin Yang is responsible for planning the next itinerary and the relevant procedures for declaring possible landing at the national port.

And Yueer checked the emails received in the mailbox on the yacht.

Because the mailbox on the yacht is open to all public institutions around the world, it is very important whether it is to contact the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or to receive weather warnings and disaster warnings from relevant national departments.

Therefore, Yue'er will check the emails received in the mailbox every once in a while.

After about a few minutes.

Yue'er selected the more useful ones among the many emails.

Although what he checked was the public mailbox, many national TV stations and related nature documentaries were inevitably seeking cooperation.

Because of her understanding of Lin Yang's personality, Yue'er no longer needed to seek Lin Yang's advice on matters in this area, she just declined.

Although before this, Lin Yang has cooperated with National Geographic CCTV and Discovery Channel, but these media have been strictly screened by Lin Yang.

For example, Lin Yang will generally choose to decline the interview invitations from local TV stations in the countries along the route.

After checking the emails, Yueer said to Lin Yang: "Brother Yang, the ancient Mayan underwater relics discovered in the underwater caves of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico have now started a project, and we will enter it for related investigations." Age testing and investigation."

"It's just that, based on the technical shackles of related aspects, the scientific research work on the underwater ruins of the Mayan civilization may take a long time, and it may not be possible to have a relatively complete result within one or two years."

Lin Yang nodded slightly, but did not express much opinion.

After all, with the help of the system, he has almost explored the remains of the ancient Mayan civilization discovered in the underwater caves of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

Although from the outside world, this is a new discovery that is enough to shock the world, but to Lin Yang himself, it is just a building complex left over from the past human beings.

Due to geological changes over the years, it has sunk from the surface into the underwater cave, and there is nothing special about it in essence.
