Chapter 759: The Arrival of the Animal Protector
Frito-Lie is a conservationist of marine life and a valued member of the World Environmental Protection Association. Every year, he travels to a different ocean to investigate rare marine life.
Especially those critically endangered marine creatures, keep an eye on their numbers, and one day suddenly a species will disappear from the earth.
Recently, he was invited by a friend to Dubai.
When he had nothing to do, he discussed with his friends and went fishing together to pass the time. As soon as I arrived at the fishing ground, I saw a crowd of people in the fishing ground. One of them was a big crowd around there, not knowing what was going on.
"This fishing ground is so lively, and there are so many fish?" he couldn't help but ask his old friend.
His old friend is also confused, although there are many fishing friends here who usually come to fish, but today is a bit abnormal, there are several times more people than in the past.
"What is today?" he struggled to recall.
But after thinking about it for a while, it doesn't seem that there is any special day, or maybe it's an event organized by fishing friends, which is not unusual.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”
When the two approached, they found that everyone was surrounding two Chinese, and one of the young Chinese was using his hand to ** the head of a seal.
Seals are very docile and, like puppies, enjoy their owners' **.
When Fedoli saw the seal clearly, his face immediately changed, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect to find a precious seal here.
It's not just an ordinary seal, it's a very old seal on earth, called the monk seal, and some people call it the Hawaiian seal.
"Huh, it's a monk seal!" his friend recognized immediately.
Hearing the voice, Wei Hang raised his head, turned around, and found two Europeans and Americans in their forties and fifties. It's not easy to recognize a monk seal!
Fedoli leaned over and held out his hand to Wei Hang.
Chinese etiquette, he is quite familiar, popular handshake.
"Hello, I'm a marine life protector and a member of the World Environmental Protection Association -- Mr. Frido-Li, can you release this seal? You probably don't know it's a seal that is dying out. Fedoli first reported to his family, and then persuaded Wei Hang to release him.
Wei Hang nodded, it meant this way. Moreover, since the people of the Environmental Protection Association and the protectors of rare animals have come out, it is not easy for him to carry the spoils away.
Who doesn't know that these animal protectors, members of environmental associations, etc., are a very troublesome group of people. Being entangled by them is definitely a headache.
Japanese whaling is to be targeted by them, and they have to fight with these people every day, and even beware of their sabotage, anyway, the people in the Japanese whaling industry hate this group of people the most, but there is nothing they can do.
"I know, it's a protected animal. Wei Hang nodded.
Seeing that this Chinese was so easy to speak, Fedoli breathed a sigh of relief. The Chinese are indeed peace-loving people, and their ideological consciousness is quite high.
"Sir, know this seal, too?" he asked.
"It is an ancient and rare seal, and at the same time, it is the only one in the world that lives in tropical waters all its life. It is mainly distributed in the waters around Hawaii, so it is also called Hawaiian monk seal. ”
Monk seals are more suitable for water than sea lions and walruses, as their hind limbs cannot be bent forward, which is important for movement in the water. It also has a smooth and almost streamlined appearance, which is perfect for fast swimming and diving in the water.
The keen sense of sight and hearing, combined with dexterity in the water, makes it easier to catch a variety of fish.
Once on land, its movements are very clumsy and ridiculous, and its swimming limbs can only play a supporting role, so it has to crawl slowly, and the clumsiness on land has become one of the reasons for their extinction in the future.
Seals are intelligent and curious about new things. They are very friendly to humans, and when they meet someone swimming nearby, they will swim in front of them curiously, stare at their faces for a while, and then swim away leisurely.
They swim gracefully, as if they don't need to paddle with their fins at all, but with a slight shake of their bodies, they can spin around the water effortlessly.
There is an abundance of food in the sea where they live, and Hawaiian monk seals chase each other in the water when they are well fed and drunk, rolling and fighting. Of course, when they are angry, they will also scuffle and bite, so they often have some teeth marks on their bodies.
Historically, monk seals have bred in large numbers in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. They were previously found everywhere on beaches of the Black Sea, Adriatic, Mediterranean, Atlantic, etc., and even in Senegal and the Hawaiian Islands.
Due to human hunting, Hawaiian monk seals are nowhere to be found in other parts of the world today, and only a small population survives in the northern part of the Hawaiian Islands.
Therefore, it was a surprise to find one here.
Seeing Wei Hang say it like a few family treasures, Fedoli and they were very surprised, and secretly thought: Wouldn't this person also be a fellow believer? Suddenly, they had a huge affection for this Chinese.
Like-minded people are often very talkative!
"Yes, in the Caribbean, the extinction of monk seals has been confirmed. Now, you can see the monk seals of Hawaii and the Mediterranean. This one should have a lot to do with the population on the other side of the Mediterranean. Fedoli said.
Wei patted the monk seal on the head and told it to leave on its own.
Who knows, the monk seal seems to be relying on Wei Hang, rubbing Wei Hang with his head flatteringly, unwilling to leave, a picture of begging to be taken in.
Fedoli and the others were amazed, although seals are friendly to humans, they are not to the extent of begging for nothing when they first come into contact, right?
Historically, monk seals have had an excellent reputation and records. According to ancient Greek mythology, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Apollo, the god of the sun, both protected the monk seal because of the animal's love of the sea and the sun.
Of course, they didn't expect that it was mainly Wei Haizhu's aura that attracted the seal. The monk seal is very smart and knows that following Wei Hang can eat fragrant and spicy food.
"Oh, Mygod! It's so cute. ”
"Is it going to rely on the magic of China?"
"It can't be the magic trick of China Wei, right?"
……
Wei Hang made some octopuses from Haizhu as if by magic, and let the monk seal eat them.
"Leave after eating, don't pester me!" Wei Hang scolded with a smile.
Fedoli didn't know Wei Hang's identity yet, and he was taken aback when he saw that he didn't know where to conjure the octopus. Others gave them a round of applause and let them see the magic show of the magical Chinese Wei up close.
After listening to the surrounding discussions, Fedoli secretly breathed a sigh of relief: it turned out to be a magician!
After eating the octopus, the monk seal reluctantly left.
