Chapter 1072 Whale Hunting
As soon as Xiao Peng wanted to speak, the sky suddenly became overcast, and the heavy rain fell as soon as it was said, Xiao Peng and Sun Pengcheng ran back to the cockpit: "Thirty days a month, it rains here for at least ten days." Do you think there could be a large forest fire in a place like this? Gotcha, hurry up and go to Cuba and get things done early and go home early. β
The Caribbean Sea in everyone's mind, it is a sunny and forever big sun, in fact, except for January to April, the rainfall can be less, and the remaining eight months are almost half a month of rain.
Especially from June to November, it is definitely not a good time to come to the Caribbean, especially in the Eastern Caribbean, every three or five times there is a hurricane to blow, such as Cuba is one of the countries that are deeply affected by Caribbean hurricanes, but if you pay attention to their map, you will find very interesting things, what Manzanillo, Santiago and other big ports are in the east, and they carry various hurricanes every year, while the capital Havana is hidden in the relatively less affected western region.
Xiao Peng: It was a good time when they came, at least there were no hurricanes. But this sea breeze and rain are a common thing. And the rain is not long, just for half an hour and an hour, the sky will be cloudless and clear, as if it was a joke. Before they even reached Pinos, it had already rained seven or eight times.
"Brother Peng, when can we get there?" Sun Pengcheng asked Xiao Peng, who was lying on the cockpit sofa playing the game console.
Yang Meng, who was sailing the boat, replied, "We'll be on Pinos Island at this time tomorrow." β
Xiao Peng said without raising his head: "Now it's going to be called 'Youth Island'." β
The name Pinos Island was originally Spanish for 'Isle of Pines', and it was the Cuban old card who was imprisoned here for several years. Later, after the liberation of Cuba, Laoka renamed the island 'Youth Island' and established the only special zone in Cuba to encourage Cuban youth to develop and build here.
However, Xiao Peng prefers to call it "Treasure Island", and many people have seen "Treasure Island" by British writer Robert Louis Stevenson, even if they haven't seen it, they have seen film and television adaptations. And the 'Treasure Island' in is actually the current Pinos Island. So much so that people are at a loss when it comes to 'Pinos' now, but when it comes to Treasure Island, everyone knows it.
After listening to Xiao Peng's answer, Sun Pengcheng looked sad: "It's going to take so long." I'm almost dying mayonnaise at sea. β
When Yang Meng heard this, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Sun Pengcheng: "Are you so embarrassed to say? How long have we been floating on the sea? Why are you so lazy to complain about it after only a few days on the boat?
Sun Pengcheng hid to the side and pointed to the sea and said: "Looking at the sea every day, I felt fresh at first, and I was annoyed when I watched it every day." β
Xiao Peng casually threw him a telescope: "Find a scenery to see yourself." β
Sun Pengcheng had a bitter face: "Look at the scenery of a fart, at most a few seabirds are flying aroundγγγγγγ Huh, there are dolphins?"
Yang Meng tilted his head and glanced at it: "I'll go, you turtle, is that a dolphin? That's a group of pilot whales! What kind of dolphin has such a big head? Oh? That's a documentary, right?"
All dolphins, finless porpoises, and the like actually belong to whales, and according to taxonomy, they are dolphin creatures of the toothed whale suborder of whales. Reasonable
Dolphins are small whales, like killer whales, pseudo killer whales, pilot whales, etc., which everyone is familiar with, all belong to the dolphin family, that is, they are larger, and like pygmy killer whales are not even as big as dolphins, it is not surprising that ordinary people can't tell the difference.
Xiao Peng became interested after hearing this, threw the game console on the sofa and leaned on the side of the boat to watch, only to see that a boat was following a group of pilot whales in the distance, and someone on board was holding a camera to shoot.
Xiao Peng looked at it: "It's really a documentary." β
Yang Meng looked disgusted: "What's the point of shooting a group of pilot whales?
Xiao Peng suddenly pointed ahead: "This time, these documentaries may be very rewarding!"
Following the direction of Xiao Peng's finger, two water columns erupted from the sea in the distance, one thick and one thin. Then a huge figure jumped forward and slammed back into the water, directly making a high splash.
"Brother Peng, what is that?" Sun Pengcheng had a long memory this time, so he asked Xiao Peng first.
Xiao Peng explained: "It was a gray whale, a type of baleen whale, a very interesting kind of whale, which is larger than baleen whales, but smaller than right whales. Because of this, there are many problems in taxonomy. It is said that there are a total of three suborders and ten species of whales in baleen whales, but the suborder and baleen whales are ignored. It was supposed to be a gray whale mother with a baby. This is a breeding ground for gray whales, and it's not surprising to see gray whales with their children here. β
"Then why do you say that making documentaries may be very rewarding?" asked Sun Pengcheng puzzled.
Yang Meng answered his question: "The pilot whales are about to start hunting." β
"What?" Sun Pengcheng looked at the telescope for a long time: "This pilot whale is not as big as a gray whale cub, they go hunting gray whales?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Although this pilot whale is not as good at fighting as killer whales, and is at the top of the marine ecological chain, but a good tiger can't stand a group of wolves, isn't it? Looking at such a large group, this group of pilot whales is obviously a passer-by whale rather than a resident type, and every year the female gray whale takes the little gray whale to spend the winter in this Gulf of Mexico, and those little gray whales have become what killer whales, pilot whales and other food." β
Yang Meng laughed and said: "And those guys only eat the tongue and lips of the gray whale, you must know that the tongue and lips of the gray whale are rich in protein and fat, which is their favorite food!"
Sun Pengcheng blinked after hearing this: "So cruel? Then why didn't those documentary filmmakers stop it?"
Yang Meng explained: "There is a 'non-interference principle' in documentary filmmaking, that is, not to interfere with the subject. They are just eyes, responsible for recording what they see. We've seen too many things like this!"
Sun Pengcheng asked: "Then why don't we save it? We are not making documentaries." Brother Peng, you're too ruthless, aren't you?"
Xiao Peng lay back on the sofa: "A small whale also has the appearance of more than ten tons, the pilot whale kills the little gray whale, only eats the tongue and jaw of the gray whale, and the remaining corpse floats on the sea and becomes food for sharks and other creatures, and when the corpse sinks to the bottom of the sea, it becomes some kind of shrimp and crab food, and after they finish eating, the remaining bones become food for microorganisms and other things." It will take at least a year for this calf carcass to be completely digested! How many animals can you feed? This is the ecological chain. If it's a rare whale such as the horned island whale and the Tru's medium-beaked whale, I'll save it without saying a word
But gray whales, let's give back to nature. β
Sun Pengcheng held the telescope and looked at it for a long time: "I'll go, I'll really do it!"
Xiao Peng looked at the sea, a group of pilot whales rushed towards the two gray whales, the pilot whales also have a clear division of labor, some pilot whales bite the tail and pectoral fins of the little gray whales, so that it can not continue to move forward, and the rest of the pilot whales are desperately pressing the minke whales into the sea, which is to suffocate the little gray whales. The mother gray whale used her huge body to desperately push the little gray whale to the water. At the same time, use the body to protect the baby gray whale from being harmed by the pilot whale. But the gray whale is too big and too slow, and it is overstretched in the face of the attack of the pilot whale group.
There was chaos on the water, and Sun Pengcheng put down the binoculars: "I can't stand it." That's too cruel, isn't it? Look at that whale mother, that's a desperate protection for the little gray whale, can you all turn a blind eye?"
Yang Meng shrugged: "I was driving the boat, and I didn't look at it at all." β
Xiao Peng raised the game console: "I'm playing a game, and you're looking at it with that telescope." Alright, let's go, this hunt can last for hours. β
Yang Meng nodded: "I would have changed the course a long time ago." β
"How many hours?" Sun Pengcheng blinked after hearing this: "How long does it take for this group of pilot whales to hunt gray whales?"
"Well, what do you think? Even if such a group of pilot whales wants to deal with a gray whale, it will not be so easy, but the end result is obvious, the little gray whale is dead. Xiao Peng lay on the sofa and didn't look at it: "So you don't look at it and don't get upset, and you are gone! Pengcheng, you have less time at sea and see too few things." When you see more, you'll be like us. β
"Alas. Mengzi, give me your camera, and I'll take a few photos as a souvenir!" Sun Pengcheng said to Yang Meng.
Yang Meng pointed to the top of Sun Pengcheng's head: "In that cabinet! Take it yourself! Go to the stern of the boat and shoot it yourself! I changed course." β
Sun Pengcheng ran to the stern of the boat and took out his camera to point at the place where the whales were hunting, adjusted the focus and took pictures, this is the first time he has seen such a thing, he must take the photos back and blow them for a few days! This kind of thing is not something that anyone can see with their own eyes, right?
Xiao Peng said happily: "I just like to see how rare and strange he looks." β
Yang Meng nodded: "That's right! The maggots in the small thatched house have never seen big eyes!"
Xiao Peng picked up the walkie-talkie: "Xiaoqiu! Xiaoqiu!"
A hillock's voice came over the intercom: "Boss, what's the matter?"
Xiao Peng asked, "Is there any blubber that the Aleutians gave us?"
The hill replied, "What the? there's still a half-freezer left." Nobody wants to eat that, you say I didn't want to eat those Colombians when they got on our boat that day?"
"That's okay, turn it all out, let Sun Pengcheng eat enough!" Xiao Peng said.
Xiaoqiu laughed, "Great, boss, finally someone can help us deal with this bunch of things that no one wants." β
The two of them wanted to bury Sun Pengcheng again, but Sun Pengcheng suddenly rushed in: "Brother Peng, Yang Meng!
"What's the matter?" Xiao Peng turned around and asked Sun Pengcheng.
As a result, Sun Pengcheng was shocked: "That group of pilot whales have all flown into the sky!"
