Horned whales, also known as narwhals and spear whales.

The round body is about the size of a beluga whale, but it does not have a dorsal fin.

The biggest difference from ordinary fish is that the left tooth of the male horned whale will grow outward in a spiral, and finally it will turn into a spike like a knight's spear, and the spike can be up to 2.7 meters long! Compared to their body length of three or four meters, this is really a huge spike!

In addition, there is a small probability that females will also grow bars like this, or males have a certain probability of having bicuspids.

Mythology says that the horned whale is the embodiment of a unicorn that attacks its opponents with its fangs, but in fact these fangs are only sensors, and they do not stun their opponents like sailfish, but swallow them in one bite.

This thing doesn't even help with longevity, and females with tusks don't live as long as females without tusks.

The only function of this tusk, in Tang Hai's view, is to sell, after having rifles and jet skis, someone has been looking for a horned whale to catch, the price of tusks is ten times the same weight of gold.

But if you think about it, how much more is Fei, how far does it take to run on the Arctic Ocean on a jet ski to make so much gold? You might as well poach bowhead whales!

In this way, narwhals are basically a waste, so they are numerous, the population is quite large, there must be more than 50,000, but in terms of their size, they are still near threatened, and many Inuit sit on small sampans and hold harpoons to hunt them, taking advantage of their breath......

These little things weighing one or two tons are grumpy and love to swim. Scientists finally caught them and put sensors on their backs to do research. Checking the air temperature, water temperature, salinity, etc., they have been injured many times, and these guys don't like humans as much as beluga whales.

The little thing saw that Tang Hai and the two noticed him, and hit the hull of the ship with his long horn.

"Don't bump it, your spiral teeth aren't electric drills, it's useless to hit them no matter how many times you hit them." Tang Hai took out the spiced beef strips sent by his hometown, and slowly scorched.

The little thing slammed into it twice. seemed to notice that Tang Hai and the two were harmless, and then wanted to say something anxiously.

"What are you looking at?" Jennifer was bored wandering around and wandered around here.

The little thing hurriedly hid in the sea. A pair of small eyes are peeping......

"Isn't this a horned whale? They don't approach humans on their own initiative, but they're just weaning calves! ”

"Can you see this?"

"Narwhals are all black when they are first weaned, then they slowly turn white, and in their 20s, all that is left is a black spot on their back. And the old narwhals are all white...... You see it's still completely black. The tusks are also very short, and it is a child about eight years old......

Hadley, Tail, Merlin, and Mary came to the fence together.

The little black whale was a little scared when it saw a lot of people, but when it found that everyone was just looking at it, it came out and stole it again, gently knocked on the hull of the boat, and from time to time made a distant movement, and whined, wooed pitifully.

"What's going on? Does it want me to teach it to sing? ”

"I don't think normal people think like that......"

"Do you think it wants us to go with it?" Malena said suddenly.

Many killer whales and dolphins have the habit of piloting. When a big wave hits, it is not uncommon to run aground on the beach, but narwhals are not used to this. Malena's words made everyone a little unimpressed.

Suddenly, Tang Hai thought of something!

"Is it that its companion is in danger...... Tail! Northwest turn! ”

Tang Hai turned around, and the little whale in front of him suddenly let out a happy oh! Oh sound, the little head rose and fell in the water, and from time to time I looked back to see if a few princesses were following.

The tail is speeding off the boat, and the fishery students who are in charge of environmental survey on the side are nervous, this is about to deviate from the course! If you go off course, you may be in danger of entering a danger zone!

wants to stop it, but Tang Hai has absolute control over this fleet......

Twenty minutes later, the fleet came to the vicinity of a small island, which was already the deepest latitude that a small human ship in the Arctic could enter, and more than ten years ago it should have been frozen, but now there was a flow of water, and a small island could be seen......

An old fishing boat, about 15 meters in class, was frozen on a piece of ice, and two yellow people in thick down jackets were shivering in the boat, and the power system of the boat was obviously useless!

"There are still such ships in this day and age! Get here and do your homework! Tang Hai was surprised that the two of them were not afraid of death, middle-aged and young people, looking at their appearance, they should be father and son.

"This is a shrimp and crab fishing boat, the tonnage of Dalivia's fishing boat is too large, plus it is registered for commercial fishing, you can't fish casually, but the Inuit and many small fishermen have small boats that can have a large fishing quota."

More than a dozen narwhals were cruising nervously not far from the boat, and the narwhals actually guarded people......

Seeing the four ships of Dahlia coming, the father had been observing the surroundings, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and said, "Hey! Over here! There are people here! ”

Shouting like this on such an empty sea is something that Tang Hai can hear.

"How did you end up freezing there!"

Tang Hai's shouting was not heard by the other party, the father and son just waved their hands vigorously, the young man was only about fourteen years old, his lips were already frozen purple, and he waved his hands excitedly, these two people were obviously frozen.

"It's the sea breeze. The water temperature in many places in the Arctic is around 0 degrees Celsius, and if a cold wind blows suddenly, it can quickly form an ice surface and freeze! They are frozen like this, which means that we may be in danger even if we get closer! Jennifer's tone was more serious than ever.

"We also have a lot of diesel, and the machines can also be used." Tang Haidao.

"But those narwhals don't." Jennifer gestured to the dozen or so narwhals swimming anxiously near the ice.

Tang Hai only hesitated for a moment, and suddenly sensed something, so he looked to the northeast, and a piece of ice floes about two stories high was drifting towards the trapped small fishing boat......

Not only Tang Hai discovered this problem, but everyone, including the suspected father and son!

With such a small volume on the surface of the water, it is likely to be dozens of times better underwater, depending on the density of sea salt that forms the ice floe, as well as the density of sea salt in the nearby seawater......

"Put the rescue boat! All boats are 100 meters away after I go down! Tang Hai was still hesitating to ask for help from the coast guard, but at this time, he played the decisive decision of the captain of the fleet and gave a decisive order!

Dahlia Ju complies with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, fishing boats, processing ships, passenger ships, and ships below 83 meters are equipped with liferafts on each side to ensure that all people can take it, and rescue boats above 500 tons are equipped.

As long as Jennifer said, Tang Hai will always follow the safety issue.

At this time, seeing that Tang Hai was going to take a rescue boat to save people in person, Ma Lena suddenly exclaimed: "You don't need to go in person!" ”

"Only if I go will I have the best chance of coming back...... It's okay, a little thing. These Inuit are also really, how can they go to such a place to fish, isn't this a mess? Tang Hai walked casually to the stern.
