Chapter 62: Rescuing the Turtles
This turtle is very large, with a shell diameter of about 1.3 meters.
Sea turtles reproduce in the same way as reptiles, burying their eggs in the sand and using the sun's temperature to hatch.
Different species of sea turtles have different mature ages. Hawksbill turtles mature at the age of 3 and green turtles at the age of 20-50. Sea turtles must lay eggs on land, and can lay 50-200 ping-pong ball-shaped eggs at a time, but the chance of a young turtle surviving is only 1 in 1,000.
Young turtles are slightly larger than a dollar coin, and fish in the sea can easily devour them.
"Friends, the turtle is a docile creature, and it is right in front of me, and I feel as if it is in trouble. Xiao Lingfeng carefully observed the turtle, and there was no obvious injury on his body, and it seemed that it was not injured.
"This little turtle is so good. Lingling was squatting on the ground, reaching out her pink and white little hands to touch the turtle's head.
"Is there something in its mouth? It's dark blue. Duan Xuerong was thoughtful, and at first glance she found that the turtle was abnormal.
"Looks like this guy must have ingested marine debris by mistake. Xiao Lingfeng opened the turtle's mouth, and this guy was very cooperative with his actions.
"If you look at the turtle's mouth, there's a blue mass on its throat, kind of like a plastic bag, and it's probably in too much pain, so it's coming for help. Xiao Lingfeng's hand was too big to reach in and take out the foreign object.
", how can a turtle be idle and eat plastic bags, this is not food. ”
"Since it can be eaten, it can be pulled out completely! Why bother asking you for help?"
"My dad is a sailor, and he said that marine life is often killed by marine debris, fishing nets, plastic bags, lighters, all of which are deadly killers. ”
"I've seen dolphins get entangled in fishing nets and drown alive......"
A touch of bitterness rose at the corner of Xiao Lingfeng's mouth, "As that friend said, marine debris is becoming an increasingly serious threat to large marine mammals such as whales and dolphins. In recent years, there have been a series of whale stranding incidents around the world, and scientists have found that their intestines and stomachs are all full of garbage, ranging from hundreds of kilograms to 1 ton. ”
"As a matter of urgency, I'd better help the turtle clean up the plastic bag in its body, it's so painful that it's stuck in my throat and I can't spit it out or swallow it. Xiao Lingfeng prepared a thin branch with two broken bones tied in front of it, like a small hook.
"With a homemade hook, I hooked the plastic bag and pulled it out, but I had to be careful not to hurt the turtle's mouth. ”
The plastic bag was taken out, and it was a pretty big thing, one of those big plastic bags.
"I'll go, it's such a big plastic bag, I want to know why turtles eat plastic bags?"
"I guess I think it's fresh, I want to try a new variety, and I'm curious. ”
"Curiosity kills not only cats, but also turtles. ”
Knowing that its trouble was over, the turtle turned and ran to the sea, swimming away without looking back......
"Marine creatures often eat plastic bags by mistake, and turtles usually eat jellyfish, and plastic bags float in the water to look like jellyfish, so they are ingested by mistake. ”
"In fact, not only sea turtles, dolphins, seals and other creatures often eat marine debris by mistake, some can be excreted, some remain in the stomach, and some are even stuck in the throat, unable to eat, and starved to death. ”
In the end, Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but feel a little sad, all of this was done by humans, although it was unintentional, but it also caused a fatal threat to many marine creatures.
The sea, the sacred place that gave birth to the ancestors of all living beings, is also gradually polluted by the residue of human civilization......
"Brother Feng said so high-sounding, why weren't you so sad when you caught flying fish and ate crabs?"
"Brother Feng, that's to survive, this world is the law of the jungle, if Brother Feng doesn't eat those seafood, he will starve to death. ”
"If you don't want to see it, get out of here, what's wrong with Brother Feng catching some seafood......?
"Support Brother Feng's desert island live broadcast, I like this kind of outdoor survival show the most, and I don't take anything from nature!"
……
You can never satisfy everyone, some people like it, some people are bound to dislike it, no need to scruple too much, just stick to it in your own heart!
Xiao Lingfeng's live broadcast road will continue, and it will inevitably slaughter more lives in the future, this world is already unfair, and human beings will always be high in front of other animals!
Among all living beings, human beings, who have mastered technology and civilization, are like gods, and humans control the life and death of most species, except for stubborn creatures such as mosquitoes, flies, and rats......
After rescuing the turtles, the live broadcast room once again raced the barrage......
"Brother Feng is living too comfortably now, how about some excitement, kneeling and begging a large group of Komodo dragons to come out and forage. ”
"There are very few Komodo dragons, and it seems that there are thousands of them in this world, all of which live on Komodo Island. ”
"Do you live on Komodo Island? Could it be that the island where Brother Feng is located is Komodo Island?"
Xiao Lingfeng shook his head, "This is not Komodo Island, but an unknown uninhabited island, from the conclusion there should be no Komodo dragons here, but there are exceptions to everything, as for how many Komodo dragons live here, I don't know......"
"How did that Komodo dragon come from?" Duan Xuerong's face turned pale, but she had a deep fear of that vicious big guy.
After all, for a girl who has not experienced much wilderness survival, that kind of terrifying creature like a demon is too scary.
Moreover, Duan Xuerong was almost bitten by that guy, and the Komodo dragon has hundreds of bacteria in its mouth, and it is said that it also contains venom.
"Although Komodo dragons live on Komodo Island, it cannot be ruled out that they have crossed the ocean to other places, and even some Komodo dragons in captivity wander here when they go out to sea......"
Xiao Lingfeng is not entirely sure of the origin of the Komodo dragon, but anything is possible.
Just like the chicken head found in the shipwreck today, who would have thought that the long-lost cultural relics in China would sink to the bottom of the sea with a seriously rotten shipwreck, but fortunately the box containing the chicken head is sealed, otherwise this cultural relic will definitely be seriously corroded.
"In other words, I don't know how many of those terrible creatures live here, maybe only one, or maybe a large group?" Duan Xuerong was a little helpless.
"Theoretically, that's ......"
