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

Chapter 693 Going to Iceland with the white whale, the wonderful journey begins!
Followed by.

Lin Yang asked the water friends in the live broadcast room: "Do you want to watch the white whale or the family of three polar bears?"

Yue'er took over the conversation and said: "The range where the polar bear and the two cubs can move should be very small, but the range where the beluga whale swims is very large."

The meaning of this girl's words is very obvious.

The opportunity to photograph polar bear babies is obviously easy, but the difficulty of tracking and photographing beluga whales in the northern waters is relatively higher.

no doubt.

Yueer and the water friends have different ideas. After all, there are many opportunities to photograph polar bears during the next trip north.

After all, they are very easy to be found on the ice. The further you go to the northern seas, the possibility of encountering polar bears on the glacial land is very high.

If you want to take the initiative to photograph polar bears, the difficulty is actually not high.

In fact, on the northern polar island of Lusvalbard, signs to avoid polar bears can be seen everywhere.

In other words, the wild beasts that the locals avoid, do not need to waste too much energy to find them.

Conversely, beluga whales playing in the ocean can be said to be rare!

Even in terms of the habits of beluga whales, this kind of animal likes to live in groups, and if you are lucky, you can encounter the scene of thousands of beluga whales migrating together, but if you are unlucky, it is very likely that even one beluga whale will live in groups. No whale can be found.

At present, under the broken ice cave, due to the hunting of polar bears, the remaining beluga whales captured by Lin Yang's camera have also attracted the attention of many water lovers.

Whether it is dolphins, killer whales, or cetaceans such as beluga whales, it can be said to be the darling of the aquarium.

Because of their extremely intelligent nature and the habit of not being afraid of people, they can be said to be very intelligent marine mammals.

But in contrast, the audience actually doesn't know much about the white whale.

After Yueer and the water friends in the live broadcast room expressed their opinions successively, Lin Yang said with a smile: "Since everyone is very interested in the beluga whale, then let's focus on tracking and shooting the beluga whale. As for the polar bear in the north, There will be opportunities in the future.”

During the sea voyage customized by Lin Yang and Yueer, because they are close to the northern seas, whether it is the Nordic countries on the east side or the west side, they will inevitably get involved.

This is also an indispensable itinerary for rich destinations on sea voyages.

In view of the fact that in the process of passing through the African and South American continents, the in-depth knowledge was not particularly thorough. Therefore, in Lin Yang’s plan, after browsing the Nordic scenery and the Arctic seas, the process of going south to the Antarctic will complement South America and Africa. Shooting wild animals and plants in other areas can also be regarded as adding more content that can be photographed for sea travel.

After hearing what Lin Yang said, Yue'er nodded vigorously and said: "The white whale is very smart, especially the white whale in the aquarium, and will deliberately amuse the children. I have seen many related videos on the Internet."

Although she said so, Yueer turned to the audience in the live broadcast room and said:
"But as far as my personal feelings are concerned, I am more resistant to the zoo's for-profit performances. Although there is no direct sale or harm, those wild animals belong to the wild, and they should not be kept in zoos and aquariums."

"Perhaps the clever marine animals we saw, but the limitations of the venues deprived them of the right to survive in the wild."

Of course, in fact, many marine or terrestrial animals living in zoos or aquariums now come here because a small part of them are rescued from injuries in the wild and then sent to more professional Rehabilitation treatment in breeding institutions.

The audience in the live broadcast room had too much curiosity about the white whale.

"Anchor anchor, just now I clearly saw that white whale was scratched by a polar bear, it should be okay?"

"If the injury is serious and the wound becomes infected, will it kill you?"

"Many marine mammals are also very similar to us. It is said that beluga whales also suffer from diseases such as stomach problems"

"Relax, didn't the anchor say before that the white whale is not as fragile as we imagined, and it will definitely be fine."

"I read related wild marine life magazines before. Beluga whales have thicker skins, and their subcutaneous fat is very high. They are very defensive. Polar bears don't even break through their defenses."

Lin Yang glanced at the barrage comments of the water friends in the live broadcast room, and then he nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the fact is just like what you said, if the marine life is playing a game together, the white whale is more powerful in terms of defense. There are indeed a lot of attribute points, so polar bears won't cause too much damage to them at all."

"Of course, there are very few special cases, at least the one we just shot is like this."

Followed by.

After Lin Yang and Yue'er decided to follow and shoot the white whale first, the polar bear and the two polar bear cubs temporarily disappeared from the camera in the live broadcast room.

After all, there are still opportunities to photograph polar bears in the future, not as good as this one.

There is still a long way to go for their sea voyage, and such encounters are bound to be numerous.

To the audience's dismay, those two naive little polar bears failed to prey because their mother caught the big one, and I'm afraid they will be hungry again.

"Goodbye, little polar bear! Maybe we will see you again in the future!"

"If your mother catches small fish like cod, you may be able to have a good meal, but the beluga whale is too big, and it has more than enough energy."

"The little polar bear just now was still immersed in the bewildered state after being thrown away, the whole bear was stupid! I laughed so hard!"

"They may look for new ice holes next, and wait for new prey."

"This is one of the charms of nature, and it is also the most concrete manifestation of the law of the jungle in the northern seas."

"That's not true. There are always predators who prey on the prey. The beluga whale that was almost killed just now wouldn't bite other small fish and shrimps."

Maybe it's because following Lin Yang's camera time is getting longer and longer, and the water friends have more and more knowledge, and their dialysis of the laws of nature is more thorough.

Although before that, water friends would express distress and worry about the various cute animals that appear in the camera, especially under the premise that they may be hunted by predators.

But now everyone seems to have seen it, the law of nature is like this, whether it is Lin Yang or Yueer, as recorders during their travels, if it is not under certain circumstances, they will not interfere with the food chain of the law of nature .

Each ecological flavor is dominated by one or several animals, so that the entire ecological chain can carry out a virtuous circle.

The earth has evolved for hundreds of millions of years, and the life cycle has been repeated for so many years, and it is not human's turn to worry about this.

But taking a step back, even if you worry about it, you can't worry about it.

In the bird's-eye view of the aerial drone, the adult polar bear mother and the two polar bear cubs are moving towards the glacier further north, and they are going to find new caves.

"I hope next time I can catch small fish instead of encountering adult beluga whales."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang said to the water friends: "If what the mother polar bear encountered just now was a juvenile beluga whale, maybe she really caught it."

In the marine food chain, the main natural enemies of beluga whales are polar bears and killer whales.

Because of the characteristics of mammals, it is impossible for them to absorb oxygen by breathing underwater like fish, and must float up to breathe oxygen within a certain period of time.

Polar bears take advantage of this free time to attack the little beluga whale, which is a surprise. If they encounter a smaller juvenile beluga whale, they can get a full meal.

A veritable timing man in the animal kingdom!
In contrast, it is much easier for beluga whales to evade the capture of killer whales.

Because belugas, like killer whales, have a relatively powerful ocean sound perception system.

Even at a certain distance, they can communicate information through the sound waves emitted by killer whales to judge the presence or absence of natural enemies around them.

Compared with polar bears who are hard to guard against and wait on the ice, beluga whales are less likely to be caught by killer whales.

But in other words, if encountering a killer whale, the white whale's ability to resist is slightly smaller, and there is a high probability that it will directly GG.

As the perspective of the aerial drone gradually faded away, Lin Yang and Yue'er returned to the yacht, and controlled the underwater camera to capture and shoot the migration of beluga whales.

Yueer smiled and joked to the water friends: "Xiaohujiao's underwater photographers are on collective strike, and we can only use underwater cameras for tracking and shooting."

"Brother Yang told me just now that these beluga whales should be migrating to the inland estuary. Their skin is very thick. There will be a collective self-cleaning."

"If our guess is correct, there should be more and more white whales gathering into a large force!"

As soon as Yue'er's voice fell, the underwater camera in the live broadcast room showed a scene that pleased the water friends.

As Yueer said before, the white whale is indeed a social animal that likes to join in the fun.

And just as she finished speaking, more and more beluga whales gathered in the footage returned by the underwater camera.

Both ends!

Three heads!

Ten heads!

The group of beluga whales gradually gathered more and more, and even the audience in the live broadcast room were extremely surprised!

After encountering a few beluga whales by chance under the ice floes, there are actually so many beluga whales, and their population continues to increase, making the underwater camera footage record this group of beluga whales cruising in the icy waters white elves.

There is no doubt that beluga whales are intelligent, beautiful and mysterious sea creatures.

In the list of the cutest species in the world selected by foreign media in 2013, the beluga whale ranked No. 12, while the little glutinous rice dumpling seal Lin Yang met last time ranked fourth.

at the same time.

The audience in the live broadcast room even noticed that the sound information collected by the underwater sound microphone actually clearly recorded the beluga whale's cry.

Their calls are very variable and seem to be communicating.

Such a voice made the audience full of curiosity!
"Anchor, are the beluga whales singing? They make so many different sounds!"

"It's much more complicated than dolphins, and it sounds awesome!"

"It must be very special to be able to survive with killer whales and polar bears in the Hainan waters in the north."

"I think any marine mammals, especially cetaceans, are very talented. After all, without a skill in the deep sea, it is difficult to find a place in the food chain."

"I agree with what my brother said before. The formation of an ecological niche must have real skills. Being cute in the ocean like an aquarium is not enough to fill your stomach."

This is true.

Beluga whales have many incredible talents that people can't imagine. Only under this premise can they be guaranteed to find their place in the ecological niche in the ocean.

Lin Yang said to the water friends in the live broadcast room: "The high and raised forehead of the beluga whale is the main organ for their vocalization and analysis of the direction of the sound wave. If you observe carefully, you can find that the beluga whale's forehead has changed slightly. , this change can rely on their echolocation system to judge objects accurate to the millimeter level, so as to ensure that there will be no collision between group friendships."

They communicate through different tones, and even without human-like vocal cords, it doesn't prevent them from becoming a socially aggressive group in the ocean.

This is true.

Just like what Lin Yang said, in the footage of the live broadcast, groups of white whales kept a certain distance, gathered together safely, and migrated in the same direction.

If Yue'er's previous judgment is correct, they should be heading from the sea to the river at the mouth of the sea.

As a marine creature, it is impossible for beluga whales to survive in rivers, because there are more gravel on the coast of the estuary, which can help them clean up the dirt, parasites and even dead skin on their skin.

Before that, the scene where the polar bear mother took the two polar bear cubs to hunt the white whale was clearly recorded by Lin Yang's camera.

Naturally, through such a small incident, the water friends learned that the skin of the beluga whale is very thick, and it will be damaged by natural enemies during the ocean adventure.

These thicker cortex will undergo the process of molting, and after the beluga grows to a certain age, the yellow and thick skin will fall off.

They went to the mouth of the sea, hoping to polish their bodies through the gravel on the river bank to remove parasites and dead skin, and then the beluga whales would become whiter and cleaner.

On this point alone, Beluga still has very unique insights into self-beauty and self-cleaning.

Careful viewers naturally also noticed that the beluga whales, like the narwhals recorded in Lin Yang's previous shots, have no dorsal fin on their backs.

In fact, taxonomically, belugas and narwhals are both members of the family 'Monocetidae', with a spine instead of a dorsal fin.

Followed by.

What Lin Yang said next surprised the water friends.

He said to the water friends: "In fact, beluga whales also have a special function that we can't imagine. Their left and right heads can rest separately. If beluga whales are tired, they can use the left head to rest, and the right head to continue to control. own body, cruising in the ocean, even surfacing to breathe oxygen.”

"The rotation of the heads on both sides allows the belugas to have a longer cruising range in the ocean."

Hearing what Lin Yang said, the fans in the live broadcast room were stunned!

"This is simply an ocean perpetual motion machine, which can rest the left and right brains separately, and can sleep while active!"

"I think the most shocking thing is that their acoustic positioning can be accurate to the millimeter level of physiological structure. Even human machines need very precise parts to achieve this effect!"

"So, these beluga whales will slowly gather together, will they reach a very large number, and will migrate collectively?"

"The voices they communicate with are too complicated. I don't think even a more systematic sound analysis will be able to understand the meaning of their communication, right?"

In fact.

Beluga whales are also known as the canaries of the ocean, and they are indeed the 'social bulls' among cetaceans.

They can maintain the distance between individuals, ensure safe swimming, and communicate through complex sounds.

There is no doubt that these characteristics from Beluga have opened the door to a new world for water lovers.

Of course, there are still many doubts about these white elves living in the ocean that have not been solved in the minds of water friends.

And Lin Yang's camera will still follow the migration route of this group of beluga whales to the Nordic countries.

In the screen of the live broadcast room, the number of beluga whales is constantly gathering more and more, and the water friends naturally don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

The appearance of beluga whales on the sea from the perspective of drone aerial photography makes water friends full of curiosity about these little elves living in the cold and gloomy north.

Whoa! ! !
The yacht sailed all the way north, the rudder split the sea surface, and the waves formed a 'herringbone' shaped spray at the stern.

Yue'er glanced at the electronic sea route map, she smiled and said to the audience: "According to Xiao Yang's plan, we may go to Iceland with these white whales."

"Judging from the direction of their navigation, it should be heading to the mouth of Iceland."

Prior to this, Lin Yang's simple science popularization gave the audience a preliminary understanding of the "white elf" in the ocean, the beluga whale.

The reason why they go to the shallows at the mouth of the sea is to reproduce on the one hand, and to clean their skin on the other hand.

In the picture of the live broadcast room, under the high-definition drone lens, what can be clearly seen are some older beluga whales.

Their skin is not pure white, if you look closely, you will find a slight yellow
During the navigation and migration in the ocean, dangerous scenes such as the water chestnut of the floating ice, the sneak attack of the polar bear and the fighting of natural enemies will destroy the thick cortical fat of the beluga whale.

After going to the mouth of the sea, the white whale can use the gravel on the river bank to polish its body, and then complete the process of 'molting'.

This is something audiences have never understood before.
