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

Chapter 714 Without Icelandic sheep, would there be no Icelanders?

If the fatter sea eagles are fed, they will have a longer adaptation period after leaving their parents without being starved to death.

Indeed, some babies are born in the school district and have big villas at home.

How can we talk about life while chatting?Tears.
Lin Yang then told the water friends that the little sea eagle, which is fat and fat and lives alone, will live on the sea for nearly 5 years after leaving the habitat.

After 5 years, the sea eagles can be regarded as adults with the ability to breed the next generation, and then they will return to their home habitat.

That is to say, those little ones who went into the sea to seek life under the careful care of their parents will not come back for five years.

The parents at home don't have to worry about it to death.

You don't understand now, in the natural world, many small animals who have separated from their parents as adults will never be separated for a lifetime.

After they leave, they may never see their parents again.

Look, I saw the sea eagle spitting out small fish from the beak, and the harvest was quite good, a dozen or so!

Their beaks are simply too powerful, is this the national bird of Iceland?
Raise your posture, get a little knowledge every day!

Although the sea eagle photographed in the current camera is the national bird of Iceland, but because it does not have too much particularity, and the weather is getting late, Lin Yang plans to go to the predetermined destination for camping and rest, so he does not There are no plans to continue photographing the birds.

After saying goodbye to the sea eagles that inhabit and breed on the coastline of the river, those seabirds that fly freely are getting farther and farther away from Lin Yang and Yueer's RV.

Yue'er joked with a smile, hoping that those little sea eagles that just broke their shells won't turn into little fat balls that can't fly under the feeding of their parents.

On the Voyager RV, the little silly dog ​​Aoao, Xiaoyun holding his teeth, and the little arctic fox were lying on the car window, looking at the fat birds on the coastline, their eyes full of novelty.

In the next hour or so, Lin Yang continued to travel southward for nearly 70 kilometers.

However, when he was about to arrive at the scheduled destination and set up camp for a rest, a small accident occurred on the No. [-] highway shrouded in the setting sun!

On the road directly in front of the Voyager RV, a group of leisurely flocks of sheep appeared in front of them. There were a large number of them, and they wandered wantonly between the grassland and the road. in the eyes.

Obviously, in the eyes of this group of small animals, there seems to be no sense of crisis for vehicles.

Perhaps many little lambs have never seen a car since they were born. This sudden new discovery made the water friends in the live broadcast quite curious.

Good guy, there are a lot of sheep in front, they are fluffy and cute!

They should be the Icelandic sheep mentioned by the anchor before. Like the Icelandic horse and the Icelandic reindeer, they are all imported species.

Icelandic wool seems to be very famous. These sheep should be able to produce a lot of wool.

Their hair is very long, it should be a kind of sheep,
In fact, these small animals crossing the road captured by Lin Yang's lens are indeed Icelandic sheep, the iconic animal in Iceland.

Lin Yang smiled and said to the water friends in the live broadcast room, judging from the time when Icelandic sheep and Icelandic horses were introduced to Iceland, they were brought over by the Vikings after they arrived in Iceland around the 9th century.

But there is a very big gap between Icelandic sheep and Icelandic horses.

First of all, in terms of numbers, although there are a large number of Icelandic horses, they are not as large as the population of Iceland.

But Icelandic sheep are different. In this land, the number of Icelandic sheep is about three times the number of local residents living in Iceland.

In other words, the overall number of Icelandic sheep has reached more than 80.

When Lin Yang said this, the water friends in the live broadcast room were quite surprised.

Iceland, with a population of only about 30, actually has more than 80 sheep!

If people in Iceland fought with sheep, and one person would have to fight about three sheep, would they be able to beat it?
Alright, let's stop talking, brothers, I will now mix with the flock and lead the flock to revolt!

It is our duty to conquer Iceland!
If we say that the Icelandic horses photographed in Lin Yang and Yueer's previous shots have performed various functions such as animal husbandry, farming and transportation in Iceland's past history.

However, Icelandic sheep can play a greater role. On the one hand, the fur on sheep can become a more meaningful economic and trade item.

On the other hand, mutton can also be an important calorie supplement in the cold northern ice and snow.

In other words, these flocks of sheep living in Iceland not only carry the ability to use hair as a trade item in exchange for economy, but also carry the important value of supplementing the meat on the Icelandic table.

In the words of the local Icelanders, there would be no Icelanders without Icelandic sheep.

Yueer added with a smile, this sentence was said by the locals when we just arrived at the port.

This sentence was indeed true hundreds of years ago when supplies were relatively scarce.

The meaning of the conversation between Lin Yang and Yueer is very obvious. If the Vikings did not bring these flocks with them when they arrived in Iceland, then after they established a foothold in Iceland, food sources and plush to keep out the cold were very important. and difficult problems to solve.

You know, if there was no way to rely on wool and mutton as the main source of living materials hundreds of years ago, even if the people of Beijing traveled across the ocean and arrived in Iceland, which is the land of ice and snow in the north, then it is almost impossible to take root and live here. Impossible one thing.

Lin Yang then told the water friends in the live broadcast room that a movie called Ram was filmed in Iceland before, and it told the story about herders raising sheep.

Compared with Icelandic horses, Icelandic sheep have a higher status in the hearts of Icelanders. After all, it is very difficult to cultivate land in this frozen land of Iceland, even if Icelandic horses can provide some help in farming. , but compared to the materials and meat that Icelandic sheep can directly obtain, they can support the rocks for Icelanders to survive and create the basis for today's prosperous cities.

Although hundreds of years ago it was not the era of drinking blood, but the plush and meat of Icelandic sheep laid an important cornerstone for Icelanders to take root in Iceland, and this was most vividly reflected in 1783 hundreds of years ago.

That year, Iceland suffered the most serious volcanic eruption since then. The volcanic eruption spewed out countless volcanic ash, and the harmful substances contained in the volcanic ash instantly filled the entire island, indirectly causing 80% of the sheep living on Iceland to be chained. die in reaction.

Therefore, a large-scale famine was caused on the island. The mutton that people in Iceland depended on for survival, because of the large-scale eruption of the volcano cut off the source, caused the population of Iceland to directly decrease by 25%.

That is, 1/4 of the people died directly.

Although the eruption of the volcano did not directly cause the death of Icelanders, but because of the indirect lack of food, 4 out of 1 people died indirectly because of the large-scale death of Icelandic sheep.

When the time goes back now, after the development of modern industry, wool is used as an important trade product for keeping out the cold and weaving.

Iceland relies on wool to open up the market, and the annual trade volume has increased year after year, which has played a vital role in the construction of Iceland since then.

What Lin Yang said made the water friends in the live broadcast room stunned. After all, everyone would never have thought that such a group of sheep roaming between the grassland and the road, their ancestors once carried this Such an important fate of an isolated island country.

So, without Icelandic sheep, there would be no Icelanders?

This sentence can indeed be established.

My God, because 80% of the sheep died that year, the number of Icelanders who had no food source dropped by 1/4.

Are the results of volcanic eruptions so terrible?Am I the only one concerned about the name of the volcano is very special?

A garbage volcano sounds like an unscrupulous volcano.

What a bad volcano qaq for causing so many deaths.

Among the Icelandic flocks that appeared in front of the camera, there are many lambs, and they don't seem to be afraid of people at all.

As Lin Yang and Yue'er continued to travel south, the climate seemed to become warmer, and the tundra was replaced by grassland. This large pasture became a paradise for sheep to inhabit and forage.

Although compared with subtropical countries with relatively vast lands such as New Zealand and Australia's kangaroo country, Iceland may not have much advantage in animal husbandry.

However, as long as it is not in the cold region of the extreme north, there are still large areas of pasture suitable for grazing and breeding Icelandic sheep in parts of the south.

Today, despite modernization and the rapid flow of trade, Icelanders do not keep their destiny and Iceland together as they did hundreds of years ago.

However, in the minds of the locals, the meat and fluff of Icelandic sheep still occupy a very important position. From a global perspective, they can also be regarded as Icelandic characteristic trade products and ingredients.

Looking at the lambs on the No. [-] road ahead, who didn't pay attention to the Voyager RV, Lin Yang smiled and said to the water friends in the live broadcast room:

From the frozen wonderland in the north of the island to the gradually warming flowers in the south, this group of Icelandic sheep is an unexpected and wonderful encounter.

If we say that the reindeer found in the cold tundra in Lin Yang’s camera before made the water friends in the live broadcast room feel quite mysterious. After all, such creatures are rarely seen in the wild, especially in the wild. It is a taller reindeer.

Afterwards, whether it is the Icelandic horse that I met along the way, or the national bird of Iceland, the sea eagle, they all have special emotions for the land of Iceland and the people living in this land.

However, these cute-looking Icelandic sheep that are not fortified against humans and are freely foraging on the playground appear in the camera.

After Lin Yang's comprehensive science popularization, water friends have a new understanding of these small animals.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, lambs are just the economic products of pastures. Their hair can be used as the key to the economic source of trade, their meat can be a delicacy on the table, and their milk is also a relatively high-quality dairy product.

In short, although the little sheep is small, it is full of treasures.

This point is vividly demonstrated on the land of Iceland. Because of the huge number, economic and practical value, Icelandic sheep occupy a relatively high position in the minds of Icelanders.

After such an introduction from the anchor, if I were from Iceland, I would have to offer up the Icelandic sheep.

Without them, it would not have been possible to raise the people of this cold island with their outstanding contributions hundreds of years ago.

There is an old saying in our country of Dragon that one side of water and soil nurtures one side of people. Although the conditions in Iceland are relatively harsh, fortunately, the area is relatively small, and the climate between the north and the south is also different, so that Icelandic sheep can be bred here.

These little lambs are so cute, but I feel uncomfortable thinking that they will be killed for meat in the future.

From the perspective of carnivorous eggs and milk, artificially raised sheep can be eaten freely without any sense of guilt.

As some water friends said, human beings have spent tens of thousands of years in the game of the cruel jungle law in nature to develop civilization and reach the top of the food chain, not for the sake of being vegetarian.

The cattle and sheep in the pastures are carefully grazed by the ranchers, and they are cultivated and grown into items that can be traded. They are not derived from wild nature, but another form of display that is carefully cultivated by humans.

Therefore, any act of exhorting others not to eat meat, egg and milk is a hooligan.

This is the result of the hard work of the laborers. What's wrong with eating two bites?
Lin Yang smiled and said to the water friends in the live broadcast room, if it is a relatively rare wild animal that lives naturally in a wild environment, it is natural to stop trading and eating it.

However, crops and livestock living in farms and pastures are fundamentally different.

Before that, he had popularized the concept of meat, egg and milk consumption to water friends more than once. Perhaps today, many countries have entered a developed industry, but most regions such as Africa are still at the poverty line and have enough food and clothing. Struggling online, maybe their so-called noble civilization is to refuse to eat meat, eggs and milk, thereby reducing carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, but they have never thought about the feelings of those relatively backward countries.

Perhaps a hundred years ago when many western countries were economically developed and had high consumption capacity, the emissions and consumption of meat, eggs and milk were already far higher than the total consumption of those poor areas in 10 years.

In short, how humans live in harmony with nature, as long as it is established under the conditions of non-malicious destruction and wanton poaching, can be an effective virtuous circle.

At least in the pasture, those lambs born will be cultivated and cared for more scientifically and systematically, so that they can grow vigorously, reduce the premature death rate, and at the same time ensure the number of sheep in the process of reproduction.

In other words, if there is no relatively complete pasture system, then the number of wild Icelandic sheep living in Iceland may not be so large under unrestrained hunting and predation.

The huge number of Icelandic sheep is fed one by one in the pasture.

Therefore, such remarks as sheep and sheep are so cute, how can they eat sheep and sheep, are just the comments of water friends.

The little lamb in the footage in the live broadcast room seems very curious about the Voyager RV that appeared on Highway [-]. The little guy may have never seen the vehicles along the way. After all, he would like to go to places that are inaccessible. rare.

Although many places in Iceland are relatively popular for tourism, most of these places focus on the pier and coastline. More tourists from all over the world experience the Icelandic port the most. Looking at the tourism projects playing on the sea so far, the real conditions The harsher cold regions are relatively sparsely populated.

However, at this moment, in the footage of the live broadcast room, a huge bird appeared in the distant sky!

A sharp cry slid across the sky. Obviously, the bird of prey came for the newly born Icelandic lamb.

All of a sudden, water friends looked at the flying raptor that appeared in the picture, and couldn't help sweating for the cute little lamb standing not far from the camera.

Wouldn't it be hunted and eaten by the flying birds of prey?
