Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 581 Provocation

A homestay somewhere in Taiji Town.

Richard and the others were nervously making post-production videos in the cramped room. The atmosphere was quite gloomy. They had clearly confirmed in advance that no one was listening, but they couldn't help lowering their voices.

Everything has been pressed the silence button, leaving only the sound of the mouse and keyboard cutting.

Hotels and hotels have stopped opening to them, even if the price is three times or five times the price, they cannot stay.

Maybe the hotel wants to make money, but if it makes this money, maybe it won't be able to gain a foothold in Taiji Town in the future.

Seventy percent of the villagers here are fishermen who make a fortune selling dolphins, and their anger can flood the entire town of Taiji.

The whole world is against them.

Richard couldn't help worrying about Jarrett and Mond, they worked all night last night: "There's no need to hurry, let's take a rest."

"Take a break? If you take a rest, I'm going to make the worst documentary of my career!"

Jarrett is rarely irritable, and he is like this when he is in the working state, not to mention the current high-pressure state, but most people have a higher tolerance for him, because Jarrett is really able.

The biggest problem with covert shooting is that you can't shoot exactly what you want.

Most documentaries have this problem. It may take a full month for the cameras fixed in the mountains and forests to take photos of tigers, before they have the opportunity to take pictures that will appear in the documentary for three seconds. a shot.

Perhaps because the camera was not arranged properly, a month of time was wasted.

For the sake of viewing, what Jarrett asked Bi Fang to do was to cast a wide net and arrange as many cameras as possible.

Richard and the others brought a total of forty-three equipment boxes, far exceeding the needs of ordinary documentaries.

People in Taiji dismantled one, and Bi Fang installed three more.

If it is not enough, change it, if it is changed, install it, and if it is installed, slip away.

In hundreds of photographic frames, Jarrett showed a strong ability to control, observing multiple shots at the same time within a few minutes, and connecting them accordingly.

Capable and irritable, that is personality.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll make you a cup of coffee." Richard raised his hands, obeying Jarrett's wishes, letting him work with peace of mind.

Today is July 30th, and there are less than 25 days until the Whaling Commission meeting on August 23rd.

The people in Taiji Town are becoming less and less welcoming to them, and their tolerance seems to have reached a limit, and if it goes higher, it will hurt the fishermen's nerves.

Silently, Jarrett and Mond each poured a cup of coffee.

Richard walked out of the room quietly, followed by Mandy and Keke.

It has almost become a rule not to travel alone.

The three of them jogged along the path to the port for morning exercises, and every passerby on the road was watching them, as if monitoring a certain prisoner.

After so many days, Keke and Mandy felt a little uncomfortable with such gazes, and Mandy would even stare back viciously.

Richard turned a blind eye, he has long been used to such a gaze.

Respect, envy, contempt, anger or disdain, he has experienced all of them when he is over half a century old.

From Europe to America to Japan, no matter who he is facing or what kind of gaze he is facing, Richard has long been able to remain calm.

Richard knew he was not a "thin-skinned" person.

When he came to the port, Richard put his hands on the railing. After a short warm-up, he was a little out of breath and raised his hand to look at his watch.

7:00 am sharp.

At this point in time, the earth has not been scalded by the sun, and there is a trace of sea breeze in the air, making people unable to help but open their arms to embrace the sea comfortably.

The mountains surround the Kii Peninsula, the sea is full of sunshine, and the seagulls gather and fly low. They hover in the air, waiting for the looming small fish in the undulating waves, and dive down the moment they jump out of the water.

The sea on a sunny morning is a rich table for seagulls.

Richard squinted his eyes, he looked at the seagulls, suddenly smiled, pointed to the sky like Mandy and said: "Look, a sea eagle, a tiger-headed sea eagle!"

Mandy and Keke looked up, the morning sun was a bit dazzling, they squinted their eyes, and they found an extremely huge sea eagle among the seagulls.

Tiger head sea eagle!

The black and white tiger-headed sea eagles were mixed among the seagulls, rampaging and screaming deeply and hoarsely.

From the behavior point of view, this is a very domineering bird of prey. It is not like those seagulls, which lock the target on small fish and shrimps, but wait for a big fish that occasionally floats to the surface. If a seagull approaches accidentally, it will mercilessly drive it away with its sharp claws, and a few pure white feathers will fall from the air.

This is the largest sea eagle in the world, with an adult weight of more than 5 kilograms and a wingspan of 2.5 meters.

Their sharp eyes, strong and accurate claws, and powerful beaks are all bright orange. Whether they soar high in the sky, or stop at the branches or on the seashore, they all show the extraordinary bearing and air of the king.

Usually, it mainly feeds on fish such as salmon and trout, and it also hunts large and medium-sized mammals such as geese and swans, and even preys on seal cubs.

In Sir Alex Ferguson's documentary "Blue Planet", Steller sea eagles were photographed hunting seagulls in the air.

Mandy and Keke also opened their eyes. They have never seen such a handsome sea eagle, which is a circle larger than others of the same kind.

Compared with it, those seagulls look like fools.

"You can still see tiger-headed sea eagles in Japan." Richard was slightly amazed.

"What do you mean?" Keke felt that there seemed to be something out of line.

"This is the largest sea eagle in the world and the heaviest eagle on average on Earth. The global species population of the Steller Sea Eagle is now about 4,600-5,100 individuals, including 1,830-1,900 breeding Yes, they are monogamous, roughly equivalent to only 3,600-3,800 mature individuals."

"They are only distributed near the coastlines of China, Japan, and the Russian Federation. They are very rare in the first place, and they have almost disappeared in Japan recently."

"Why?"

"Because of deaths from lead poisoning in the interior of Japan, the number of Steller's sea eagles here has dropped by almost half."

Long-term consumption of seafood, coupled with environmental pollution, lead content is unexpectedly high in this land of Japan.

In addition, the tiger-headed sea eagle is monogamous, and only reproduces once a year, with two eggs at a time, usually one survives, and it is really not easy to see them in Japan.

"."

How is it lead poisoning again?

Is this a lead zone?

Mandy and Keke sighed, looking at the tiger-headed sea eagle, they couldn't help but feel a little pitiful.

This beautiful species is also on the verge of endangerment.

"However, it's something to be happy to see. There's no need to be sad." Richard cheered up and encouraged, "Isn't it still there?"

Mandy and Keke looked at the sea and nodded involuntarily.

Under the undulating sea water, a blurry shadow became more and more clear. Something floated up from the bottom of the sea, and it was definitely not small.

The tiger-headed sea eagle was shocked, folded its wings, stretched out its sharp claws, and hit the water directly like a dive bomber.

Roar!

It's a big trout!

Before Mandy and Keke could take a photo, a sharp whistle interrupted their joy.

"Hey over there, look at this!"

The fisherman on the fishing boat smiled at the three of them with enthusiasm on his face, as if he welcomed the arrival of the three of them.

"He doesn't know us, he even greeted us..." Mandy laughed, but he stopped laughing immediately.

The fisherman on the fishing boat suddenly lifted a piece of black cloth and turned the hinges.

A juvenile dolphin is hoisted.
