My deep sea fishery

Chapter 68-Sea Lion

Xiang Yang somewhat agreed with Wu Shiwen's ideas. If Fang Youqun and others knew that Wu Shiwen could sell mussels more expensive than pearls, they would be dumbfounded.

Of course, for Xiang Yang, gambling on mussels is a trivial mess, and it is far less cost-effective than scouring pearls, including labor and time-consuming.

Xiang Yang didn't huddle with the crew but traveled farther to find the fatter pearl mussel.

It may be that Xiang Yang swam a little far away from the awe of the two humpback whales. It didn't take long for Xiang Yang to encounter a group of fierce marine predators.

It was a group of huge but extremely flexible sea lions, which were chasing fish on the seabed in groups.

Sea lions have fin-like limbs. The limbs are very powerful and can walk on land. They usually swim in groups in the sea during the day to prey and rest on the beach alone at night. They are large carnivorous mammals in the ocean.

Xiang Yang stopped and looked at the group of sea lions not daring to get too close. Sea lions have high territorial awareness. Their strong territorial awareness makes sea lions a dangerous animal that will attack humans. They will not let any attempt to enter The creatures entering their territory often attack humans.

The group of sea lions also saw Xiang Yang, and all of them grinned in a threatening motion towards Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang smiled and didn't care. He was still some distance away from the group of sea lions. It didn't count as breaking into the other's territory. Generally, sea lions would not chase out of their own territory when they encountered large hunters.

Xiang Yang had seen sea lions in the underwater park before.

The domesticated sea lions in the underwater park are very cute. They gather in a large pool and often swim in the pool with their lower body. The upper body rises up in the pool with the upper body exposed, and the pectoral fins are constantly doing various pleasing movements to pray for tourists. Feed them.

Their food is also very simple. A silver marine fish with the size of a small finger is sold for twenty yuan a box in the underwater world, and there are about twenty in a box.

Whenever there are tourists feeding, they will make a sound like a cow barking, the sound is very loud and sometimes even scares children.

Visitors can also have some simple interactions with the sea lions when feeding the sea lions. For example, using a small wooden clip to hold a small silver fish in a circle on the pond, the sea lion will give face to the food and follow the tourist’s gestures and circle the place. .

It is worth mentioning that after interacting with a sea lion, you must give it food. If a tourist teases a sea lion and throws the food backhand to other sea lions, the sea lion who has not received food after interacting with the tourist will be very angry. It will make a very angry roar with its nostrils bulging and drumming. In serious cases, it will even use its pectoral fins to slap the surface of the water and splash a pool of water to soak tourists. At this time, only the silver fish can comfort the sea lions.

If there are tourists who rush to visit the sea lions when the Ocean Park just opened early in the morning, they must pay attention to separate feeding when feeding. Do not throw away the food when two or more sea lions gather together, otherwise they will be hungry all night. Sea lions with extremely fierce belly may be beaten up by a small silver fish. Of course, this is very rare. Usually marine park keepers will rush to feed sea lions before tourists arrive.

The domesticated sea lions are good friends of mankind. They can perform many difficult performances with the trainers on the stage. The superb diving skills of sea lions can help humans detect or salvage things on the seabed when salvaging sunken ships.

Sea lions that have not been domesticated are really dangerous.

In 2007, there was even a sea lion on the west coast of Australia pursuing a human who was surfing behind a high-speed yacht. They would not only attack humans but even their kind, especially during the breeding period. Occupying a specific area on the beach does not allow other male sea lions to approach, otherwise there will be a life-and-death game of life and death. Female sea lions will fiercely pick up and throw them away when they encounter other small sea lions except their children.

The number of this group of sea lions is not very large, it looks like a dozen, and there are also two small sea lions that are only one meter long.

The two little sea lions may have just learned to swim and swim awkwardly. The sea lions are raised on the beach by female sea lions for the first four or five months of their birth, and they will not be taken to the sea until they are five months old to learn to swim.

Sea lions that grow to more than 800 pounds will gradually develop a sense of fear towards humans, and will gradually move away from humans when they are not tamed. However, when the little sea lions are just for fun, they are not afraid to see Xiang Yang and even go to Xiang Yang. While swimming, the two pectoral fins slid forcefully against the sea while swimming, with a humanized smile on his face.

Xiang Yang smiled and waved to greet the two little guys.

Seeing Xiang Yang's movements, the two little guys swam even more happily, speeding up to swim towards Xiang Yang.

This frightened two female sea lions.

The two female sea lions swam to the front of the two little sea lions as soon as they swung their bodies and wanted to take them back. The remaining sea lions also bulged towards Xiang Yang's nostrils, making a threatening move.

Xiang Yang knew that he had frightened the group of sea lions, and moved back a little to indicate that he was not malicious.

Seeing Xiang Yang's retreat, the sea lions were quiet a lot but still did not relax. Each sea lion stared at Xiang Yang, and they instinctively felt a huge threat in Xiang Yang.

The two little sea lions were still a little dissatisfied with being pulled back by the lioness, struggling violently in the sea as if they wanted to swim in front of Xiang Yang to play with Xiang Yang.

One of the lioness was irritated and slapped the little sea lion's head with his pectoral fin.

The little sea lion was beaten by the lioness twice and immediately became honest. When she looked at Xiang Yang with her cute little face, she felt wronged.

Xiang Yang touched his breathing mask awkwardly. How did he feel like a villain who abducted a small sea lion?

Seeing that this group of adult sea lions didn't welcome him, Xiang Yang immediately felt bored. He turned around and wanted to swim far away.

But at this moment, two huge groups of black shadows swam from a distance to this side quickly and startled Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang took a closer look and saw that it was the two humpback whales frolicking by the fishing boat. Sighed.

But immediately after Xiang Yang, he became nervous again, because the two humpback whales at this moment did not seem to be docile at all, especially the murderous female whale, as if she had encountered a killer whale and was about to kill.

Xiang Yang understood after thinking about it. The two humpback whales must have thought that they were surrounded by a group of sea lions. They rushed to support themselves.

"Fuck!"

Xiang Yang had no time to explain or stop him. He could only hurriedly look at the sea lions behind him. The sea lions were panicking and fleeing towards the rear, but the escaped sea lions were clearly divided into three echelons, with a group of sea lions rushing away. At the forefront, two lionesses are a long way behind the sea lions and are looking nervously towards the rear. The two little sea lions are flapping their pectoral fins, arching and arching their bodies, but their bodies are still in situ and are in a hurry.
