My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 718 Predating Seabirds

If an Antarctic sea wolf seal is not short of food as a basis to infer that a sea area is rich in fishery resources, then this inference is very inaccurate.

Xiang Yang looked up at the snowstorm that was getting bigger and bigger, "No matter what, let's wait for the snow to stop first."

Gao Chuang nodded, "That's right, we can't do anything in such a snowstorm."

Since they couldn't do anything, everyone's eyes fell on the Antarctic snow wolf and snow leopard again.

It may be that Xiang Yang and the others are too many, and the Antarctic snow wolf and snow leopard seem to be a little afraid of Xiang Yang and the others.

I saw the Antarctic sea wolf seal dragging its cumbersome hind limbs, crawling on the ice block, and wriggling toward the depths of the ice block bit by bit.

Its squirming speed is very slow, it seems that it is very difficult to move its body, and there is a very obvious twisted mark on the ice surface it has moved.

Fang Youqun stood up and suggested to Xiang Yang: "Brother Yang, I'll catch this Antarctic sea wolf seal and play with it."

Xiang Yang grabbed Fang Youqun, "You forgot what Mr. Gao said just now, this is a key protected animal in the Antarctic Convention."

"I'll grab it and play with it, so as not to kill it," Fang Youqun said.

Xiang Yang was amused by Fang Youqun's words, "Does that mean I can catch a giant panda and bring it home when I go back, and if someone sees it, I'll say I just caught it for fun?"

Everyone roared with laughter. If so, poachers would not be able to catch it.

"Sit down." Xiang Yang smiled and gave Fang Youqun a hand, "Even if this Antarctic sea wolf seal is not a key protected animal, I won't let you catch it."

Fang Youqun asked in a daze, "Why?"

Chen Qingsheng raised his head and said, "Because you are not catching it when you run over now, it is catching you."

Despite the naive appearance of the Antarctic sea wolf seal, it is actually no less ferocious than the tiger shark.

Although the Antarctic sea wolf seal is not as fierce as the leopard seal, it is also a ruthless character. Its teeth are very sharp and its sense of smell is sensitive. Even on the ice, it often attacks various seabirds and penguins.

Moreover, wolf seals are more cunning than leopard seals and will hunt with their brains.

Sea wolf seals often lie motionless in ambush in some dark corners or narrow passages, quietly waiting for the appearance of prey, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack.

An Antarctic adventurer once used a video camera to capture a very cruel scene of sea wolves and seals hunting.

An unsuspecting penguin has just surfaced from the ocean floor when it comes across a sea wolf seal.

The sea wolf seal attacked the penguin. It rushed to the side of the penguin at the speed of an arrow, and then bit the hapless penguin.

Under the sharp teeth of sea wolves and seals, penguins have no strength to struggle at all.

But what is very strange is that the sea wolf seal did not eat immediately after grabbing the penguin, but struggled to drag the penguin onto the ice.

In addition, sea wolf seals will often rush into the penguin colony, scaring a large group of penguins to flee for their lives, and then the cunning sea wolf seal will lock on to a solo penguin and chase after it until the penguin is exhausted and finally becomes a sea wolf seal. Prey for wolf seals.

Of course, sea wolf seals will not attack humans.

Among the six common seal species in Antarctica, only leopard seals will attack humans and need to be driven away with fire.

Affected by the weather, many seabirds landed on this ice floe, and some of them were quite large and relatively rare seabirds.

However, the birds in the entire Antarctic are basically protected animals, and these birds can fly, so basically no one has any idea about these birds.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp."

At this moment, Xiang Yang suddenly heard a very rapid bird call.

Xiang Yang turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound.

It turned out that it was an unknown seabird, slightly bigger than a pigeon, whose wing was bitten by the sea wolf seal, and it was desperately fanning it.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard the unknown seabird struggled, it could not escape the fate of being predated by sea wolves and seals.

I saw the sea wolf seal biting the wing of the unknown seabird and flicking it to the ice, then pressed its forelimbs hard on the seabird's body, squeezed hard, and the seabird stopped struggling All that was left was the instinctive twitching of the muscles.

"Damn, I'm starving here, but this seal is already enjoying a big meal." Fang Youqun scolded immediately.

Gao Chuang laughed and said, "Why, your captain made you hungry?"

Fang Youqun was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned his head, seeing Xiang Yang's expressionless face, he immediately became agitated, and quickly laughed and said: "No, I'm just quick-talking, our brother Yang treats us well, when will we ever be hungry?" .”

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to this kid.

Chen Qingsheng pushed Fang Youqun away, "Get out of the way, don't block me from watching the seals."

Fang Youqun hurriedly hid aside with a sneer.

After this little episode, the seabird was completely dead.

But the sea wolf seal didn't eat the food immediately. It pressed the seabird with its forelimbs and kept biting the seabird with its sharp teeth, but it never tore the seabird. The next piece of meat comes down.

"Uh, did that sea wolf seal use that seabird as a toy?" Fang Youqun asked suspiciously.

Chen Qingsheng shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

"Go on and look down and you'll know?" Xiang Yang asked.

As Xiang Yang knows, many carnivorous animals still have the instinct to hunt after they are full, but they will not eat after catching their prey.

This is very similar to dogs.

Many dog ​​owners know that when a dog sees a mouse, it will desperately catch it.

But when the mouse is actually caught and killed, the dog will not eat the mouse.

"wrong."

Xiang Yang stared at the seal for a while, and suddenly realized: "This sea wolf seal is plucking that seabird."

"Plucking? Don't seals swallow seabirds whole?" Chen Qingsheng wondered.

"It should be. The digestive system of a seal is far inferior to that of a shark. It should not be able to digest the feathers of birds." Xiang Yang guessed.

as expected.

Then everyone saw the seal tearing and biting the seabird, biting it repeatedly, and then slapping it hard on the ice.

Soon, all the feathers on the seabird's body were taken off by the sea wolf seal.

After cleaning all the feathers of the seabird, the sea wolf seal began to enjoy the seabird slowly.

"Damn, look at this seal eating so deliciously, it makes me hungry." Gao Chuang stood up, went to a tent and got in. When he came out, he was holding a self-heating hot pot .

"There are claypot rice and self-heating hot pot in the tent, you go in and get what you want."
