Chapter 308: Crocodile Jump

Walking into the door, it turned out to be Lake Griffin, there is a fountain built in honor of Captain Cook in the center, the water column at the bottom of the lake is as high as 137 meters, standing in any corner of the city, you can see the tall white water column straight into the blue sky, the water column is flashing around the rainbow, extremely spectacular.

Stay overnight and head straight to the Great Barrier Reef. Head to Hamilton Island and hop aboard a helicopter for the ultimate view of the waters of Arlington Reef. The endless blue and colorful coral reefs of various shapes and shapes are located on the fine white sand bed of the seabed, and the crystal clear water is like a clear blue amber, which is amazing!

Especially a white heart-shaped island, just one glance and you will be captivated by it.

Marvellous Whitehaven Beach, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the pristine white sands of Whitehaven Whitehaven Beach and/or the marvelous coral masterpieces of the Great Barrier Reef. Then the plane will slowly descend, so close to the ocean, beaches, forests, coral reefs, etc., that you can't help but want to get closer, and then the plane will slowly rise, slowly descend, and finally land.

I haven't dived for a long time, and it's calmer than many seas, and the climate is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, and there is no rainy season with strong winds and waves in Southeast Asia, everything is just right.

If a cruise ship is a quiet and leisurely way to get you from one starting point to another, then a speedboat is like a daring sailor, because it prefers to draw the longest route on the sea with speed.

Dozens of islands, casually walking on a piece of tranquility, stepping on the soft white sand of the beach, like stepping on cotton. On this beach, which is known as the most beautiful and cleanest, indulge in the intimate contact between the grains of sand and your toes.

You won't feel embarrassed, on the contrary, you will fall in love with the feeling, if you are tired, enjoy an ice drink under the umbrella and enjoy the summer sun, all you need to do is leave all your worries behind, completely relax your body and devote yourself to the beauty and dreams that this white paradise brings......

The world seems to be quiet when you see the pure white paradise beach and the pristine blue water of the island, and the dense jungle of the island and the blue sky.

The captain highly recommends trying your luck and maybe seeing a unique wonder in the world.

A white whale!

At this time of year, whale watchers around the world are expecting the appearance of a whale called Migaloo. The only known pure white humpback whale in the world.

For the past two months, people have gathered in the ocean from far and wide, carrying binoculars with them, ready to capture Migaloo's moment as he breaks through the sea. On Twitter, Migaloo also has its own dedicated account, which is updated in real time.

It is said to have first come into view in 1991 when a group of volunteers who were counting whales in Byron Bay spotted it. Due to the very distance, it is not possible to tell if it is white all over.

In 1993, Pacific Whale Foundation investigators encountered the amazing beluga whale again in the nearby waters and finally determined that it was different.

It is speculated that Migaloo's white body is caused by albinism, and scientists have also found mutated genes that cause albinism in Migaloo's DNA, but it is still not possible to determine if he has albinism?

Because Migaloo's eyes are brown rather than the red or pink color typical of albinism, a more rigorous explanation for the whiteness of the body is hypopigmentation.

Sailing to the nearby seas, everyone waits on deck, and this kind of thing is all a matter of luck. Migaloo has been seen dozens of times since their first encounter. The Pacific Whale Foundation speculates that he was born in 1986, which means that Migaloo is 33 years old this year.

While scientists speculate that humpback whales can live up to 80 years, they generally only live to be 45–50 years.

It's lucky to see a humpback whale once in a lifetime, not to mention the huge survival challenges that white whales face. Due to the lack of pigment precipitation, sunlight can easily cause damage to them.

Excessive human attention also increases the likelihood of ships colliding with them and affects their predation and reproduction. Therefore, the reunion with Migaloo every year is even more precious.

After turning around for most of the day, they still didn't see it, and everyone returned to the shore. Seeing that SC Johnson was a little regretful, the captain took the initiative to recommend another place to see wild crocodiles.

Driving to Darwin, the park's most famous project is called the Death Cage, where a crane drops a plexiglass jar containing two visitors, and then puts this transparent jar into the pool of giant crocodiles, and at this time the water in the tank is also injected into the crocodile pool to experience the feeling of swimming with giant crocodiles, which is currently available in this place all over the world.

I didn't see the big guys in the Amazon rainforest last time, and this time I definitely can't miss it. In particular, I saw the protagonist of the cage of death, the largest of the crocodiles currently in captivity, named Chopper.

Now he is 80 years old, good guy, more than four meters, cold-blooded reptiles will theoretically continue to grow as long as they have sufficient food and a good living environment, so these animals are getting older and bigger.

Watching the big guy swim around, bumping his body against the glass jar from time to time, not to mention himself, even Xia Long couldn't help but be frightened.

There is also the traditional project, the crocodile jump.

Got on a small boat and came to the wild area, the crocodiles nearby have been in a state of hunger and excitement, and when they saw a boat coming, dozens of black crushed them and instantly surrounded them, that kind of scene......

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crocodiles, and a huge black shadow surfaced, a giant in his sixties, one of the largest wild crocodiles that could be seen. With a dark exterior and a devil-like face, it looks exactly like a crocodile horror movie.

Hurry up and respectfully honor all the beef, and see the old man go away, you go slowly!

After feeding the crocodiles and preparing to return home, there is also a show of feeding the wild falcons, where the docent will sprinkle small meat cubes onto the river, and these fierce birds will swoop down like arrows to snatch the meat cubes.

When they were feeding the crocodiles before, they stopped on the surrounding trees, and they probably waited here very tacitly.

The best time to see wild animals, especially carnivores, in the wild is early in the morning or dusk, not to mention the beautiful sunrise and sunset in the wetland swamps.

At sunset, with the last little afterglow of the sun, the trees on the edge of the swamp are perfectly silhouetted, and the tranquil dusk seems to make people forget that this is still water. Everyone is waiting for the water bird below to spread its wings and fly, showing the peerless beauty of Luoxia and the lonely bird flying together.

The most surprising thing is to see the whole process of waterfowl catching and devouring catfish, torturing the fish for half a day, and swallowing it whole faster than the blink of an eye, which is very ferocious.

A strange bird was also found in the tree, with a neck as flexible as a snake, and could rotate its head and neck more than 180 degrees without moving.

It's a magical continent!
