Chapter 325: Grooveless Hammerhead Shark

"You see, there is a white-bellied frigate bird, which is the most precious of the frigate birds! I heard that it is a national first-class protected animal, but I didn't expect to see one here. The sharp-eyed Wei Hai pointed to a shrunken bird on the deck under the eaves of the ship.

There are many biological experts in Tangjia Village, and the publicity for the protection of rare wild animals is more powerful.

When Wei Hang looked at it, it was obvious that its belly was white, about thirty centimeters long, and it was still underage, but it was already standing out in front of many small seabirds.

Because of its large size, it has been hit hard by wind and rain, and it is now buried in a ball, how pitiful and pitiful it looks, like a child living on the street, and he doesn't know where his parents have gone.

Wei Hang walked over, and a stream of aura passed over and carried it into the cabin. The white-bellied warship bird felt his kindness, and did not struggle, obediently letting him hold it.

When Wei Hang put it on the ground, it looked left and right for a while, and then combed its feathers with peace of mind, and when it shook its body, water beads splashed everywhere.

As Wei Hang said, the storm came and went suddenly, and before it had fallen for half an hour, the clouds and rain had already dissipated, the sky was blue, the blue sky was like washing, and the air was filled with the sweetness and freshness of rain.

Even the heat was gone, and many of the birds on board flew into the sky and disappeared. Only a few petrels, tired of playing, were leisurely combing their feathers.

As for the island they said they were looking for, there was no trace of it, and at the moment of the storm, they could no longer find any trace of the seabirds, and naturally there was no way to track them.

The white-bellied frigate bird did not fly away, it was still grooming its feathers, and the frigate bird was most afraid that its feathers would get wet, which would easily make them fall into the water and drown. For this reason, even the way of predation has changed, and it has become a famous "pirate bird".

The fish and seabirds all went away with the storm, and the sea was quiet again, Wei Hai looked at the endless sea and asked, "Brother Hang, are we still looking for that island?"

Others are also interested, and many TV shows have wild survival challenges that take place on isolated islands, and they have been dreaming of that scenario for a long time.

With a clear night sky, endless sandy beaches, and the sound of surging waves, it's worth the trip to hold a bonfire party and eat delicious seafood. Go back and talk to your friends, envy them and don't die.

It's a pity that there are some girls missing, and the atmosphere doesn't seem to be so strong, if you can talk to your confidant, tell your romantic feelings, how good it would be, think about it, it's intoxicating!

"Let's sail in this direction and see if we can meet it, the sea is vast. You think you'll find it if you want to?"

Wei Hang didn't disappoint their interest, anyway, there was no clear goal when he came out on the high seas, so he just let them go. It seems that we have to go down to the sea and find the direction of the island.

Heard he agreed. Everyone smiled happily, as if the island was already in sight. Yun Rulong said excitedly: "This weather is really comfortable, it was interrupted by rain before, who will fight me for three hundred rounds now?"

"Together, together. Chen Jianliang and others were also interested.

Wei Hang was not interested in fishing with him. He was speechless, don't just keep fishing! What's the fun? Isn't he tired? But he forgot that the sea is vast. In addition to diving into the sea and fishing, what other entertainment activities are there? Playing cards and fighting landlords? Bored or not?

He put on his diving equipment and said, "The seabed here is not deep, I will go down and dive around, which of you wants to go down?"

"I'm going down. Everyone responded one after another, following Wei Hang rarely returned empty-handed, they naturally did not let go of this opportunity, and even Chen Jianliang and Gao Fei, who originally wanted to fish, responded one after another.

"Damn! a bunch of tasteless fishermen. Yun Rulong suddenly felt bored and said disdainfully.

Zhao Wenchang, Gu Yanji and Qian Wenji also chose to fish, but they had just been drenched in a rain and didn't want to go to the sea.

Wei Hang swam into the distance when he got out of the sea, and at the same time sensed if there were any islands exposed to the water nearby.

He was silent for a moment for the group of people who had followed him into the sea, and this time they were afraid that they would be disappointed, and there seemed to be nothing particularly precious under the seabed except for some pearl shells.

He asked casually, but it was just a cover-up. Don't blame me, you're looking for the island!

He sensed as he swam, flashed more than 20 nautical miles, and still didn't see any trace of the pirate, so he couldn't help but think: "Depressed, it can't be that you are running in the wrong direction, right?"

Just then, a large shark came towards him. This shark is very special, it is about four meters long, with a brownish-gray back and a white belly.

In addition to the two rows of symbolic large fangs, there are two protrusions in front of the head, each with an eye and a nostril, the two eyes are more than a meter long apart, which looks like an electric perm, and like a double bun on a woman's head, which looks like the headdress of Qing Dynasty Gege on TV.

These two protrusions are not cosmetic, they are very useful for hammerhead sharks, the distribution of their eyes is very beneficial for them to observe their surroundings, and the field of vision is more three-dimensional, making it easier to distinguish between near and far.

The field of view of its two eyes must not overlap, but it can clearly see what is happening in a 360-degree range around it by rocking its head back and forth.

The distribution of the two nostrils also makes it easier to distinguish odors.

In addition, these two protrusions act as chemical sensors, electronic sensors, and pressure sensors, which can determine the direction and speed of the prey with great precision.

It is believed that it has a special head shape that plays the role of a rudder.

At the same time, it is also accustomed to prey when hunting, using the long protrusion on the top of its head to press its prey to the bottom of the sea, so that they cannot move.

However, they rarely attack humans on their own initiative, and even if they encounter divers in the sea, they will stay for a short time and then leave quickly, which is relatively "shy". Of course, it's a different story when it comes to attacking it actively.

The hammerhead shark has relatively flat protrusions and bright outer notches, also known as hammerhead hammerhead sharks, and the width of the hammerhead is generally a quarter of the body length. They are the largest of the hammerhead sharks and can reach more than six meters.

They are voracious predators in the ocean, with squid, octopus, grouper, sea catfish, stone perch, flounder, and crustaceans such as sea crabs and lobsters all serving their diet, and sometimes attacking their own kind. In the vast ocean, there are basically no natural predators.

However, their favorite prey is stingrays and rays, especially spiny rays. Commonly known as the stingray, the giant stingray resembles the manta ray and is a large fish with a ferocious and venomous tail.

However, the spines of hammerhead sharks are often found in the mouths of hammerhead sharks, but they do not seem to affect them, and one hammerhead shark specimen even had 96 stingray stingers in its mouth!

Wei Hang recalled the relevant knowledge, and remembered that when they were hunting, the Lorentz force on the ampullary of guò sensed the weak electrical signals emitted by the stingrays hiding in the sand, so as to accurately find their location.

I don't know if they like to hunt stingrays and evolve such a talent, or if they have such a talent that they like to eat stingrays, no one can say the magic of nature.

Hammerhead sharks are generally social and migratory fish found in tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Whenever the seasons change, they form a huge migration team for a long journey. In summer, they swim to temperate seas to escape the heat, and in winter, they swim to tropical seas for the winter.

The exception is the gutterless hammerhead shark, which prefers to live alone.

Sharks are generally at the top of the biological chain, and there is very little threat to them except humans, and their populations are generally not considered to be threatened.

However, there are exceptions, and the hammerhead shark is endangered and listed as "endangered" on the IUCN Red List.

The reason is simple, targeted killing by humans and this kind of manslaughter.

Now, marine biologists have developed a way to save them by attaching some lanthanide rare earth metals to fishing gear, and they create an electric field that can drive away these sharks, which is very magical.

This ditchless hammerhead shark did not attack Wei Hang, nor did it escape, it swam over and approached Wei Hang affectionately, probably sensing the breath of sea pearls emitted by him.

Wei Hang looked at its ferocious appearance and pretended to be cute, feeling very funny, he reached out and injected it with an aura, and then stroked the bun-like protrusions, it also enjoyed it, and its head swayed back and forth.

Wei Hang looked at the nostrils on both sides of it, which were bigger than fists, and pulled them out with his hands, causing the big guy to shake his head sharply and arch him mischievously.

This kind of shark is not often encountered, Wei Hang is naturally not polite, and put this kind of shark that is about to become extinct into Haizhu, I don't know how fierce it will be after Haizhu's cultivation?

As far as he knows, the sharks are generally found in offshore waters and at the edge of the continental shelf, and like to swim in the coral reefs of the mainland and islands, which may be nearby.

Sure enough, after swimming more than ten nautical miles, he found an island.

When he came out of the water, he saw a small island in the distance, the area was not large, but the plants on it were relatively luxuriant, and countless seabirds inhabited it, rising and falling, like a paradise for birds, a pure land that had not been disturbed by humans.

It seems that this is the island they are looking for, and those birds are really powerful, and they are eyeing the fish fifty or sixty kilometers away. However, it is not surprising that some seabirds can feed for hundreds of kilometres.

Once he had set his goal, he went back, but he couldn't just go back empty-handed, at least he had to find some pearls to pretend to be. (To be continued......)
