When Qiu Qing was installing a camera in a distant place, Fang Hong was introducing emperor penguins to everyone.

"Emperor penguins, also known as emperor penguins, are the largest species in the penguin family, you see they are 90 centimeters tall, the one over there may be 1.1 meters, it is said that the highest can reach 120 centimeters, and the weight can reach 100 catties. Its morphology is characterized by an orange-yellow feather at the base of the neck, which gradually fades downward, and the back of the ear is the deepest. The color of the whole body is harmonious. The neck is pale yellow, the ears are bright yellow-orange, the belly is creamy, the back and flippers are black, and the beak is bright orange. ”

"Emperor penguins breed their offspring on the cold winter ice in Antarctica, with females laying one egg at a time and males hatching eggs. Between the legs and the underside of the abdomen, there is a purple-skinned pouch full of blood vessels, which keeps the eggs at a comfortable 36 degrees Celsius in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius. ”

Fang Hong paused: "Speaking of which, everyone must understand a scientific truth, or correct an erroneous common sense. ”

"That is, things like quilts or coats and clothes don't generate temperature, and the reason why they keep warm is because they isolate the escape of human heat. ”

"Brother Gun, don't think that everyone doesn't understand, everyone has eaten popsicles, isn't this the principle of popsicles and quilts. "It's just the other way around.

Fang Hong smiled: "In fact, animals with strong ability to withstand the cold are not how thick their fur is, but their fur is relatively fluffy, because cotton or cloth itself does not have the ability to block the escape of heat." ”

Not many people know about that.

"In fact, it's the air, not the cotton, that blocks the heat diffusion, and the cotton's role is to separate the air into layers of air, and the air is the key to blocking the heat loss, so if you see an ad on TV that their down jackets are thin, breathable and warm, that's bragging. ”

Of course, it is theoretically possible, for example, the down jacket is divided into blocks, two-thirds of which are insulated from the air, one-third of which is made of breathable material, and then the second layer is covered with the same square, the third layer is also covered, and the pores of the three layers are not in the same place, so this effect can be achieved.

However, the clothes designed in this way are basically high-tech with a high cost, and it is absolutely impossible for you to buy them for 200 yuan a piece.

The penguins didn't stand together because it wasn't the time of the day.

Many penguins swayed close to the shore and plunged into the water one by one.

The whole coast looks like a harbor and is extremely busy.

Penguins go into the water, and there are penguins that leap out of the water and crawl on the ice.

A penguin jumped out of the water, jumped onto the ice, spun in a circle, and plunged into the sea, causing the sailors to laugh.

This penguin is like being drunk.

Fang Hong approached the side of the coast: "I'll blow the wind here, it's too smelly over there." ”

"I seem to have spotted Brother Gun's weakness. ”

"It should be, a cook like Brother Gun shouldn't be able to stand this smell, after all, the sense of smell is too sensitive. ”

Fang Hong complained: "Your perception of taste often comes from the combined effect of smell and vision, just like drinking Coke blindfolded, which is no different from the taste of Sprite." When you smell a smell, the odor molecules will also stick to the tail of your tongue, so you are especially sensitive to the taste of bitter things. ”

"In the same way, standing in a smelly place and smelling it all the time is no different from eating it. In other words, this group of excited tourists, is eating shi......"

Water friends are powerless to complain about Fang Hong's theory.

"This is the closest emperor penguin colony to the penguin wintering area, and there are a lot of penguins here, there are thousands, many of them are baby penguins born last year, and they are estimated to be only four or five months old, and they are still too young to need to be fed by their parents until next year before they can become independent. ”

This year, their mission is to watch their parents hunt.

"Humans have only been in Antarctica for a few hundred years, and there have been no large-scale landings, so they have not learned to be afraid of people. ”

A mischievous little penguin, out of his father's surroundings, jumped up and down here.

Fang Hong was stunned, not knowing what to do.

Qiu Qing said that you can't disturb the life of emperor penguins, and it's best not to touch them, feed them, help them, or tease them.

Emperor penguins are already one of the few species on the planet that sees no reaction from humans, and their scientific research value is very great, so they cannot actively contact them.

However, how to deal with passive contact, Fang Hong didn't know: "Damn, it's coming, it's coming." ”

"What if his dad comes and beats me......"

"Brother Gun, this little penguin looks like that happy big-footed ......"

"Hey, it's kind of like that. ”

The little penguin jumped over and didn't do anything, braked sharply in front of Fang Hong, jumped out of a U-shaped bend, and then turned back again.

Its father stood waiting for it, and then it didn't move.

Right next to it, a little penguin pecked at Big Feet.

Bigfoot wants to resist, but he has no neck, and he wants to peck back, but he can't peck it, and he looks stupid and cute.

"Haha, rookies peck each other. ”

"666, the perfect interpretation of this word. ”

Bigfoot's father bowed his head and gave the little penguin who bullied Bigfoot twice, and the bigger little penguin was honest at once.

However, there was no adult penguin brawl caused by a child fight.

"Sure enough, it was Bigfoot, and he was bullied. ”

On the ice shore in the distance, a big penguin jumped out of the water, jumped onto the ice 'port' dozens of centimeters high, and swayed over.

Little Bigfoot instantly burst into joy.

I guess I'm already hungry.

"Adult male penguins can secrete a milky white liquid for baby penguins to fill their stomachs, just like mammalian milk. However, this oral discharge is not nutritious, so it is only to deal with the hunger of the little penguin, which seems to be the mother of Bigfoot, and the first thing to do when she returns from hunting is to feed Bigfoot. ”

"Sometimes they also feed adult male penguins, but more often than not, they work with each other and the male penguins go out to hunt on their own. But it looks like Bigfoot's dad should have hunted. ”

The big-footed mother lowered her head and opened her mouth, and the little penguin tilted her head to bite the fish's tail, which was still slightly exposed.

A small fish was bitten out by it.

The small fish seemed to be a little bigger, and smashed it in the face.

The smashed big foot did not resist the call of nature, and bowed his head and began to enjoy each meal.

"I also seem to be hungry when I see Bigfoot eating happily. ”

In the distance, Qiu Qing rearranged some cameras, and then came over with the two instruments he had left before.

"Why are these cameras so tightly arranged?"

Qiu Qing was helpless: "Emperor penguins are saboteurs, we used to make cameras that imitate the shape of penguins, but they were dismantled, and now we cover the cameras with stone shells, so that they can't do damage, and they can get some data after a few days." This one is an air detector, this one is an infrared camera, which records the first-hand information of the emperor penguin migrating from the inland to spend the summer. ”

"Done?"

"That's it, let's go back, sleep comfortably tonight, and be tortured tomorrow." ”

Fang Hong smiled: "I'll make a new dish for you tonight, Sichuan-style drunken shrimp." ”
