On the deck, Cui Jinghao saw that Jia Luping's face was pale and his eyes were blank, and he couldn't help asking, "Hey, you won't be seasick, right?"

"It's a little, not very dizzy. Jia Luping said that he didn't plan to go to sea, but he was dragged by Cui Jinghao.

"I wouldn't have dragged you out if I knew I wouldn't have said it, why don't you say it? Why don't you go inside and take a rest?" Cui Jinghao said a little apologetically.

"It's okay, I know myself, I'll get used to it after a long time, and it's not so uncomfortable to blow the wind on the deck. Jia Luping slapped Cui Jinghao's hand holding him, just a little seasick, is he so empty?

Wei Hang was originally looking at the situation under the sea in Tongguò Haizhu, and when he heard them talking, he went to the kitchen to fetch a bowl of water, took it out and handed it to him, and said, "Drink a little, and you won't faint." ”

He injected some aura into this water, and the last time Muzi was seasick, he did it like this, and he never tried it again. After Wei Hang, he injected a little aura into all the storage water in the kitchen, so under the subtle feeling, although everyone often boiled at sea, the body was still very good.

Jia Luping didn't believe it, just a bowl of water could keep him from getting seasick? A bowl of underwater belly, the sweet and cool taste penetrated his heart, and he really didn't feel so dizzy.

What kind of water is this? It's so amazing? I don't know what ingredients are added? Jia Luping was about to ask clearly, when he saw Wei Hang's face happy, and said to them: "You are lucky, you just went to sea and saw something quite strange. ”

Wei Hang pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "See, there is a group of dugongs there, and they are the prototype of the mermaid legend." ”

When the people on the deck heard this, they ran to the railing to watch, and in the distance, a large group of gray-white animals were half-floating on the sea, swimming forward, and coming towards them.

"Wouldn't it? Mermaid? How's that? I'll see. Cui Jinghao said excitedly. Others ran into the cabin and came out with binoculars in a short time. They just came out to play, and they were quite well prepared.

"Isn't this a manatee?" said one of the tourists, confused, as he saw what they looked like.

"They are a species of manatee and are also commonly known as manatees. The biggest difference between seahorses, mermaids, etc., and manatees is that manatees have a round tail, while dugongs have a tail shape similar to the Y-shaped tail of a dolphin. Wei Hang said.

"Lord, your eyesight is so good? Someone said, Wei Hang smiled, and he could "see" clearly from a distance.

"Doesn't that mean they're scared? It doesn't seem like that!" said one tourist.

Weihang is also a little puzzled, dugongs generally live in tropical coastal waters. A place with abundant aquatic plants and good concealment, never far from the coast.

As far as he knew, there were no dugongs in Fisherman's Bay, and according to the old people in the village, they could still be seen occasionally in the past, but in recent decades, there is no trace.

It seems that they are in a hurry, and the direction is Tangjia Village. Wei Hang estimates that they are also like those white dolphins, attracted by the aura of the sea, and it seems that Tangjia Village will have another group of long-term guests.

"Why do they all look listless? Are they sick?" said one tourist.

"Nope. Their eyes are small, their vision is poor, and that's all they seem. They do get sick easily, though. In particular, it is very susceptible to pneumonia, and the water quality will almost cause skin ulcers and parasite damage. ”

"Didn't you say it looked like a mermaid? It's not pretty at all. Cui Jinghao said. Those dugongs swim by in the distance from the side of the ship, and those with good eyesight can see them very clearly. Not to mention telescopes?

Their body is about two or three meters long, spindle-shaped, with smooth skin, sparse short fine body hair, a large mouth at the front of their head, and a horseshoe-shaped upper lip.

From time to time, they surface and can see their long flippers and dolphin-like tail fins.

"Do you really think they're mermaids? they're just similar in behavior. They are mammals in the ocean, breathe with their lungs, and have to walk out of the water every ten minutes. They like to eat aquatic plants, and when they emerge from the water, they have some aquatic plants on their heads, which look like hair from a distance. The ancients relied on false rumors to say that they were just mermaids. A tourist said.

Cui Jinghao was bored when he heard it, completely destroying the beautiful image of the mermaid in his heart.

"You see, there is a dugong holding the child, and it seems that it cannot keep up with the army. At this time, a tourist said, his tone full of concern for the mother and son.

The others turned their eyes, and sure enough, behind the group of dugongs, a female dugong was half-floating on the surface of the sea with a cub in her arms, and fell behind, but it would not be left behind for the time being.

"It is breastfeeding, dugongs are viviparous, and when breastfeeding, much like a woman, they hug their young children with their forelimbs, and the mother's head and chest should be exposed to the water, so that the young do not choke when they suck. This is also one of the reasons why it is mistaken for a mermaid. At this time, they like to cruise inshore and are often seen, but they are shy by nature, and they will run away at the slightest fright, and it is not surprising that they are mistaken for mermaids at a glance. Wei Hang said.

"It looks like it's really breastfeeding!" said some of the visitors who were looking forward to the telescope.

The others were speechless, so many don't look at it, you just look at this!

"Let's go, let's go, this is an endangered animal, take a few more pictures! Especially this kind of breastfeeding scene, maybe you won't be able to see it in the future." Ling Fei didn't have this taboo, and squeezed into a position with the best vision, but unfortunately it was still too far away to be framing.

He knew that there was the only dugong national nature reserve in Guangxi, covering an area of 350 square kilometers, and the situation was not optimistic, and only a few could be seen every year, and such a huge group had not been found for many years.

He originally thought that he would take a look when he had time, but he didn't expect to see it here, there are so many of them, is there a dugong living sea area near here?

"Is it so strict? We saw it as soon as we went out to sea. One tourist said confusedly.

"So you are lucky, they are national first-class protected animals, the same as white dolphins, do you say they are precious?" Ling Fei said, he had paid attention, so he also knew the situation.

As soon as he said this, everyone understood a little, many people here are coming for the white dolphins, before the white dolphin square is located, those experts in the village also gave everyone a science popularization, can you not know the situation?

"So, we're really lucky! Looks like we're right to follow the owner. "No wonder the island owner said the same just now, Jia Luping is now a little glad that he was pulled into the water by Cui Jinghao's guy.

"Yes, but their luck is not good. Dugongs are slow-moving, docile, and defenseless, and even if they are large, they are vulnerable to attacks by fierce animals such as sharks and killer whales. In addition, there is a large number of human killings, and the deterioration of the marine environment, which has made them almost extinct. ”

"Yes, dugongs are very delicate, they are the only herbivorous mammals in the ocean, they eat forty or fifty kilograms of aquatic grass a day, and the requirements for the marine environment are very high. Moreover, fishing boat trawling, crude oil pollution, etc., can easily kill them by mistake, suffocate to death, and even a storm at sea can put them at risk of death. ”

Gu Haichao explained to everyone that he was a biological expert sent by Tao experts.

"Dugongs eat several times more than usual during breastfeeding, and the lactation period is particularly long, and the pups have to be weaned at 18 months, which I have also read in books. A tourist who knows something about dugongs also shows a sense of cunning.

"So there are so many here, are we going to protect it? Aren't there a lot of biological experts in Tangjia Village? They should know how to do it, right?" said one tourist.

"Just talk to the owner, and the owner can talk to them. A person who has been in Tangjia Village for a while and knows the situation better.

"What about the island owner?" At this time, everyone realized that Wei Hang didn't know where to run.

"He went to make a phone call, and he was supposed to talk to the experts about it. Chen Jianliang, who knows Weihang better, said.

He didn't know when he ran out, he liked jewelry, but it didn't mean that he wasn't interested in anything else.

Besides, if there is such a big movement outside and you don't wake up, I don't know how many things you will miss! As a treasure hunter, he is still relatively sensitive.

Chen Jianliang was right, Wei Hang was calling Professor Yu. It's still in the waters of Fisherman's Bay, and there is still a signal here, so you don't need to make a satellite phone.

"What? There is a group of dugongs in the waters of Fisherman's Bay? How many are there? More than a hundred? You read that right? Could it be other manatees?" Professor Yu said excitedly when he received the call, already a little speechless.

"There seems to be only one kind of manatee that lives in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, right?" Wei Hang was a little speechless, a biologist, he couldn't even be wrong about this, right?

"Ahem!I'm a little excited, hehe!" Professor Yu's old face turned red, and he was actually questioned by a former student of his own, which was embarrassing!

But this can't be blamed on him, there are white dolphins here to live and breed, he is already very pleased, I didn't expect this kid to just go to sea, and brought him a big surprise, can you not be excited? Today is really a festive day, it seems that we still have to force that kid to go to sea more!

If Wei Hang knew what he was thinking, maybe he wouldn't have made this call, and there was still a reason to avoid them.

"Okay, we already know about the situation, I'll do my best to arrange someone to take a look, you send me the coordinates of the satellites and their routes, and tell me about the rest. Professor Yu returned to the topic and said.

He was a little impatient, but not as casual as the kid on the other end of the phone. (To be continued......)
