The fishing boat sailed to the vicinity of Hill Island, and sure enough, many seals appeared in Qin Shiou's field of vision.

Wright asked Qin Shiou if he knew anything about seals, and after learning that he didn't, he introduced him to him as a tour guide:

"Look at the big guys, yes, the guys over two meters long, oh, they're bearded seals. If you have eagle-like eyes, then you can see that they have some thick stiff whiskers in their mouths, so some people call them bearded seals. ”

"The most are the spotted seals, because they have the most complex diet, they eat meat and grass, they can eat all the marine fish, they also eat cephalopods and crustaceans, and if they don't have any of that, they don't mind eating some seaweed."

"See that beautiful big seal? It's the guy whose fur is grayish-blue, and you're lucky, they're striped seals because there's a very wide ring-like white band around their necks. These seals are relatively small in number, and they do not like to live in groups. ”

There are many seals living on the small island, and most of these fat and fat creatures lie on the island to bask in the sun, and the fur on their bodies is shiny, and it feels as if they are dripping oil.

A few fat seals were rolling around together, they were the size of puppies, and their bodies were covered in oily fat like small balls.

The little ones screamed at the top of their throats, and the fight was like rolling a ball, and a small seal of unknown species went up and scratched a slightly larger seal, and the big seal threw its butt back, and the baby seal rolled out like a ball......

"Hey, that's a cute little guy." Qin Shiou laughed.

"Cute? No, we don't. Williams said dissatisfied. The government is protecting these lazy people more than we do, and we only have a few days a year to fish. What about them? Anytime, anywhere. ”

"Protection? You say the Canadian government protects them? Qin Shiou asked rhetorically.

While he didn't want to be serious or argue, Canada didn't protect seals at all - they allowed large-scale culling of seals every year. Is this still protection?

The canadians hunted seals in a way that was second only to the Japanese dolphin hunting and the Danish Faroese Islands in the 'Whale Killing Tournament'.

After listening to Qin Shiou's words, an old fisherman disagreed, and he retorted: "Yes, someone killed them, but didn't the government protect them?" No, the government stipulates that they can only be hunted on fifteen days in the spring of the year, and also gives quotas. Doesn't that count as protection? ”

"Young man, you are a fisherman, and you can't understand the sadness of us poor people. Who wants to kill living beings? But when you have no other way to make money, robbing a bank is also a good option. ”

"Young man, have you ever killed a wild boar? The government doesn't protect wild boars, but why doesn't anyone protest? Quite simply, wild boars can harm the grain in the fields, but don't seals harm the fish in the fisheries? They love to eat cod! ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is nothing to justify this. Ladies and gentlemen, everyone stands from a different perspective and thinks differently, but what matters is what we do ourselves. ”

Adults only talk about profits. Children can distinguish between right and wrong, but in this matter, Qin Shiou has to be a child. He insisted that the Canadian government should not allow people to hunt seals on a large scale.

Yes, the government allows the killing of wild boars. But when did you organize a large herd of hunters to hunt wild boars?

But the hunting of seals is an organized act.

Wright was excited to see everyone's feelings. He stomped his feet and shouted, "Hey, I said guys, we're here to fish, not to participate in the Animal Protection Organization Debate." Besides, why are we arguing about this? We haven't hunted seals, have we? No one comes to Hill Island to hunt seals either, does it? ”

The old fishermen smiled and nodded, Qin Shiou also felt that he was a little naïve just now, what was he competing with these old men?

The round-headed and fat-brained seals jumped into the water and burrowed into the water to find food, and the baby seals played freely, and the island and reef were peaceful.

But danger loomed, and Wright reached out and tugged at Qin Shiou's clothes, motioning for him to look at the southeast corner of the reef.

The fishing boats were relatively close, and Qin Shiou took a closer look and saw that on the sea near the island and reef, a behemoth was slowly exposed.

This is a big fish, the exposed gray-black head is huge, Qin Shiou put the sea god consciousness over, and saw that this fish is about more than five meters long, ugly in appearance, clumsy and slow, although it has a big mouth, but it looks a little stupid and cute.

Seeing the appearance of this fish clearly, Qin Shiou recognized it and said in a low voice: "Sleeping shark? ”

Another name for the sleeping shark is the Greenland shark, and the two names describe their two signature features, one that lives in Greenland waters and the other that moves slowly as if asleep.

The sleeping shark moved slowly, and it swam for five minutes from the time it surfaced to the time it approached the reef.

Qin Shiou knew that this sleeping shark did not swim so slowly because he was worried about scaring the seals basking in the sun at the water's edge, but under normal circumstances, they were so slow, and it was not bad to be able to swim twenty meters a minute.

But this also has the advantage that the careless seals do not perceive the danger coming, they are still making trouble, they are still basking in the sun, and they are still sleeping when they should be sleeping.

After the sleeping shark approached the reef, a fat gray seal was half-lying in the water basking in the sun, but the sleeping shark slowly approached it, suddenly opened its big mouth, and 'clicked' on the seal!

The seal screamed in pain, and the sleeping shark sank into the water, pulling the seal into the water, leaving a faint splash of blood tumbling with the water.

This scene stunned the seals, and then the lazy feeling on their bodies quickly disappeared, the baby seals were taken away by the female seals, and the male seals surrounded them from all directions, and then jumped into the water one by one like dumplings.

"There's a good show to watch." Wright hugged his arm and laughed, and the other old fishermen also looked down with antiquity.

Sleeping sharks are nicknamed 'crocodiles of the sea' because of their habit of slowly approaching their prey and then swooping out to bite the prey and drag it into the water to toss and eat it. They are relatively large, reaching up to seven meters in length in adulthood, and due to their fierce temperament, they have few opponents in the water.

Unfortunately, the sleeping shark's favorite food, seals, happens to be one of their adversaries.

Don't look at the seals when they are on land, they are fat like piglets, they have 'leopards' in their names, they look a little like leopards, and they have more similar personalities.

Once in the water, the seal is the cheetah of the ocean! (To be continued......)
