725. Brave little seal

The fishing boat drove near Hill Island, and sure enough, many seals appeared in Qin Shiou's field of view.

Wright asked Qin Shiou if he knew about seals. After learning that he didn't know about them, he became a tour guide and introduced him to him:

"Look at those big guys, yes, guys over two meters long, oh, they are bearded seals. If your eyes are like hawk eyes, you can see that their mouths have some rough and hard beards, so some people call them bearded seals."

"The most are harbor seals, because their recipes are the most complex, eating meat and grass, they can eat all the sea fish, cephalopods and crustaceans, and if none of these are there, they don't mind eating some seaweed."

"Did you see that beautiful big seal? The guy with gray-blue fur, you're lucky. They are sealed seals because there is a wide ring-shaped leucorrhea around their necks. These seals are relatively small in number and they don't like to live in groups."

There are many seals living on the small island, with a variety of species. Most of these fat and fat guys are lying on the island to bask in the sun. The fur on their bodies is shiny and it feels like oil is flowing out.

Several fat little seals were rolling and fighting together. They were only as big as puppies, and were covered in oily fat, like small balls.

These little guys screamed at the top of their throats, and they started to fight like a ball rolling. A small seal with indescribable species scratched a slightly larger seal, but the big seal shook its butt back, and the little seal rolled out like a ball...

"Hey, what a cute little guy." Qin Shiou laughed.

"Cute? No, we don't feel that way." Williams said dissatisfied. "The government's efforts to protect these lazy guys are more powerful than us. We only have a few days a year to fish. What about them? They can do it anytime and at any time."

"Protection? Do you say the Canadian government protects them?" Qin Shiou asked back.

Although he doesn't want to be serious or argue, Canada's seals are not considered as protection at all. Every year, large-scale culling of seals is allowed. Can this be considered as protection?

The Canadians' behavior of hunting seals is second only to the Japanese dolphin hunting activities and the "whale killing conference" in the Faroe Islands, a territory of Denmark.

After hearing Qin Shiou's words, an old fisherman disagreed and retorted: "Yes, someone killed them, but has the government not protected them? No, the government stipulates that they can be hunted only in the fifteen days of spring a year, and also gave quotas. Isn't this considered protection?"

"Young man, you are the owner of a fishing farm and you can't understand the sadness of us poor people. Who is willing to kill creatures? But when you have no other way to make money, robbing the bank is also a good choice."

"My man, have you ever killed wild boars? The government does not protect wild boars, but why no one protests? It's very simple. Wild boars will hurt food in the fields, but won't seals hurt fish in the fishing grounds? They like to eat cod the most!"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "There is nothing to justify this. Everyone, everyone has different angles and ideas. What is important is how we should do it ourselves."

Adults only talk about interests, and children only distinguish right from wrong. However, in this matter, Qin Shiou insisted on being a child. He insisted that the Canadian government should not allow people to hunt seals on a large scale.

Yes, the government allows wild boars to be hunted, but when did large groups of hunters be organized to hunt wild boars?

But hunting seals is an organized act.

Seeing that everyone was excited, Wright stamped his feet and shouted, "Hey, I said guys, we are here to catch fish, not to participate in the animal protection organization debate. Besides, why are we arguing about this? We have never hunted seals, have we? No one came to Hill Island to hunt seals, right?"

The old fishermen nodded with a smile, and Qin Shiou also felt that he was a little naive just now. What was he competing with these old people?

The round-headed and fat seals jumped into the water and went into the water to find food. The little seals were fighting freely, and the islands and reefs were in a peaceful scene.

But danger came quietly. Wright reached out and pulled Qin Shiou's clothes, signaling him to look to the southeast corner of the island.

The fishing boat was closer together. Qin Shiou looked carefully and saw a huge monster slowly exposed on the sea near the islands and reefs.

This is a big fish with a huge gray-black head exposed. Qin Shiou let the sea god consciousness go over and saw that the fish was about five meters long, with ugly appearance, clumsy and slow movements. Although it had a big mouth, it looked a bit stupid and cute.

Seeing the fish's appearance clearly, Qin Shiou recognized it and whispered: "Sleeping Shark?"

Another name of the sleeping shark is the Greenland shark. The two names introduce their two iconic characteristics, one is living in the Greenland waters, and the other is moving slowly as if it is asleep.

The sleeping shark moved slowly. It swam for five minutes from the surface of the water to the islands and reefs in just a distance of about 100 meters.

Qin Shiou knew that the sleeping sharks were not swimming so slowly because they were worried that they would scare the seals basking in the sun by the water, but under normal circumstances, they were so slow. It would be good to swim for twenty meters in a minute.

However, there is also an advantage, that is, the careless seals do not notice the crisis. They should fight or fight, the sun is still basking, and the sleep is still sleeping.

After the sleeping shark approached the island and reef, a fat gray seal was lying in the water and basking in the sun. As a result, the sleeping shark slowly approached it, suddenly opened its big mouth, and bit it on the seal with a "crack"!

The seal screamed in pain, and then the sleeping shark sank into the water, pulling the seal into the water, leaving a faint blood swelling with the sea water.

This scene shocked the seals, and then the lazy feeling on their bodies quickly disappeared. The little seals were taken away by the female seal, and the male seals surrounded them from all directions in a fierce manner. Then, like dumplings, they jumped into the water one by one.

"There's a good show." Wright smiled with his arms around, and the other old fishermen also leaned their heads down, looking with anticipation on their faces.

Sleeping sharks have a nickname as "crocodile in the sea". The reason is that they slowly approach the prey and then suddenly attack and bite it into the water and drag it to death before eating it. They are relatively large in size and can grow up to seven meters long in adulthood. In addition, they are fierce in nature, so they have few opponents in the water.

Unfortunately, the food seals that sleeping sharks like are exactly one of their opponents.

Although seals are fat when they are on land, they have "leopards" in their names. In addition to looking a bit like leopards, they have more similar personalities.

Once you enter the water, the seal will be a serious marine cheetah!
