Chapter 892: Whale Fall
π was very surprised, because Zhang Zian hadn't revealed the idea of going out to sea by boat at all before.
Even Zhang Zian himself was surprised.
He just happened to be on a whim occasionally, but in fact he didn't have any reason to sail out to sea. However, after seeing that huge giant whale, he felt an almost unstoppable curiosity. You must know that a giant whale of that size is very dangerous to come to the sea. If you are not careful, you may run aground. What really belongs to it is Bilan of the deep sea.
What made it go against the instinct of survival and come to the offshore? Is it Shihua's voice? Or is it hurt too?
Since the content of Sehwa's song is to make the whales hunted in Northeast Asia take refuge in the sea off Binhai City, theoretically speaking, it may also be hunted and killed, and escaped here after hearing Sehwa's song. But this brings up a new question - Shihua let the whales come to the sea off Binhai City, and didn't let them get close to the shore. The previous minke whale stranding was an accident after being injured.
So, the giant whale was also injured?
According to the current situation, he had to be so suspicious.
When I caught a glimpse at the beach, I couldn’t accurately estimate the size of the giant whale because the distance was too far and there was no reference nearby, but even at a rough glance, its body length was at least ten meters, and its weight may be more than ten tons. , is an out-and-out adult giant whale.
Once such a giant whale is stranded on the shore, there is almost no way to get it back into the sea in a short period of time, and it can only watch it die. Even when it left the sea and ran aground, when it lost the buoyancy of the sea, its bones and internal organs were crushed by its own weight, and even a god could not save it.
If it is really injured and ventures close to the shore, then the matter is serious - it cannot be found and rescued on the shore as lucky as a minke whale, it can only wait for the injury to heal itself, or wait for someone to take the initiative Find out how it hurts.
Zhang Zian didn't have an impulsive mind. He knew that it was very dangerous to get close to a giant whale weighing more than ten tons by boat, and it might even be a giant whale that was unconscious due to injury.
Even if the giant whale didn't intend to hurt him, as long as he turned over unintentionally, he and the boat could be rolled into the sea, and his bones and the boat could be broken apart with a flick of his tail...
This is the case with body size and grade crushing, there is no room for resistance at all.
In front of the giant whale, he was like a grown man facing a newborn kitten and puppy, with a weight difference of more than a hundred times, and he was wiped out when talking and laughing.
What's more, the weight of ten tons is only a conservative estimate, and it is not surprising to say that the giant whale actually weighs twenty tons.
As long as a person with a normal mind should not touch a strange dog rashly, in case he is bitten. If the dog is like this, what about a strange giant whale? People in their right mind should stay away.
What's more, the only way he can get close to the giant whale is an inflatable boat with an electric motor, which is provided for fish lovers to go fishing in the sea. If he wants to save money, he may not have an electric motor and paddle by hand...
Even oceanographers who specialize in cetaceans will not take an inflatable boat to approach a strange giant whale, which is a standard death behavior.
Having said that, just let that giant whale fend for itself?
There is a wonderful word called "whale fall", which means when a whale dies,
Its corpse will slowly sink into the bottom of the sea, turning itself into nutrients and feeding back numerous sea creatures.
Many marine organisms that live on the bottom of the sea and do not see sunlight all their lives rely on whale falls for their livelihood.
Whale bones are huge, and whale meat is rich in oil and decomposes slowly. It is estimated that when a giant whale dies, its carcass can nurture many underwater creatures for several years or even ten years.
It is said that cherry blossoms fall at a speed of five centimeters per second, so what is the speed at which whales fall?
After the giant whale dies, it will not sink to the bottom of the sea immediately, but will float on the sea surface for a period of time, and will be eaten by seabirds, sharks and polar bears first. In the process of sinking to the bottom of the sea, it will also be eaten by other fish Bite by bite, and upon reaching the bottom of the sea, the motionless carcass would attract more creatures such as hagfish, sleeper sharks, and deep-sea crabs, then bristles and crustaceans, and finally, the borers. Oxygen bacteria.
During this process, its flesh and blood are torn apart and decomposed, forming numerous "marine snow", which are blown by the ocean currents and spread to farther places, nurturing more life.
For every giant whale that dies, many new lives are born.
Even when the flesh and blood of the giant whale disappears completely, its gray-white skeleton will stand on the bottom of the sea for a long time, forming a strange and mysterious spectacle. When human deep-sea submersibles enter the deep sea for the purpose of scientific exploration, they often see forests of whale bones, like monuments to sea giants. The strange-shaped marine life shuttled between the whale bones, and was disturbed by the lights of the submersible to hide in a hurry, stirring up the muddy sea sand from time to time.
However, due to whaling activities and industrial pollution, the number of giant whales has decreased, and the number of whale falls has also decreased. No one knows how many creatures in the deep sea that depend on whale falls have disappeared quietly.
Where there is life, there is death. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the reincarnation of heaven, and humans and whales are no exception.
The giant whale that Zhang Zian saw could die, but it's not worth dying like this. It's not worth dying in the shallow sea. It's meaningless. Its final destination should be in the deep sea far away, turning into a whale fall like other giant whales. Nurturing all things - of course, this should be a few decades later, the life span of whales is very long.
So, he wanted to take a boat out to sea and try to find the giant whale.
If it is really injured or sick, he will try his best to lend a helping hand. Even if his own strength is insufficient, he can go to the newly-acquainted fishery administrator Ke Shaohui for help. After all, this should also be within the scope of work of the fishery administration. within. If this doesn't work, you can also seek help from Liu Ying, a reporter from the local TV station, and call on caring people in the society to contribute money and forcefully to save the life of this giant whale as much as possible.
Many people gather firewood and make high flames. The power of one person is small, but the power of everyone is powerful. Even for the stranded minke whale, without the help of Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi, he would not be able to operate on it independently and send it back to the sea. Caring people are always in the majority, and most people are in awe of the giant beast, and they don't want to see it die with regret.
However, the premise of all this is that it was indeed injured or sick, and not came to the shallow sea for other reasons, such as Shihua's singing. This requires him to take a boat to confirm with his own eyes at close range. ...
