Today crab crab will give you science popularization
Xiaobu more "secrets"
Never allow you not to know!
Baleen whales are a large family
We've always called whales, whales.~
Whales are not fish!
It's a mammal
There are about 98 species of whales in the world, and there are more than 30 species in China
The positioning of whales is relatively vague, and there are two main classifications: baleen whales and toothed whales. Baleen whale is what we often call the whale family, the smallest known species body length is more than 6 meters, tooth whale not only contains whales, but also includes dolphin families, so the body size difference is relatively large, the smallest species body length is only 30cm, the longest will be more than 20 meters.
Now baleen whales all over the world
There are 4 major families, 15 species, and 9 species in China
Xiaobu is from the baleen whale family
Little Bruce's whale
The image comes from The Diving House
The baby Bruce whale (scientific name: Balaenoptera edeni), also known as anchovies, quasi-flounder whales, pseudo-minke whales, Bryde's whales are characterized by three ridges from stomata to the beak end, the whole body is dark gray, the abdomen is whiter, and the baleen plates are rough and dark blue-gray. It often occurs alone or in small groups, with females giving birth every two years and pregnancies lasting about a year, and the northern hemisphere population often gives birth in the fall.
▲ Distribution: Tropical, subtropical, partially temperate waters
▲ Quantity: About 90,000 heads
Habits of life
Baby Brinell whales occasionally approach boats curiously, following them around or marching alongside them, sometimes jumping to hit the waves. When feeding, there is a typical behavior of suddenly changing direction, and the swimming method often makes people think that it is a large dolphin rather than a whale.
A small cloth in "dry rice"
After several days of observation, Shenzhen researchers found that Xiaobu seems to be not rejected for eating, but in fact, its favorite "food" in Shenzhen sea is mainly 4 kinds of fish, namely oil fish, spotted dumplings, sardines, and ridged anchovies. And it is estimated that it needs to prey on about 180 kilograms of food every day to fill its stomach!
Don't just see Xiaobu with his mouth open, waiting for the small fish to be sent into the "fish mouth", in fact, cetaceans like Xiaobu are very smart, they have a lot of predation skills, such as for the flock of sardines, The Bu's whale opens its mouth to rush! They will even spit bubbles on the bottom of the sea, gather the fish in a large group, and swallow them in one bite!
In response to the small fish that are frightened and rush to the surface of the water, the small cloth quietly surfaces, opens the large mouth, and waits for the "sucking" of the full school of fish, and then closes it. Then turn around, first revealing the pink and tender "small belly", then exposing the black back ridge, and jumping into the sea. Mischievous little Bruce whales also use their tails to stun the fish and then feed.
Misunderstood "pirates"
Every time Xiaobu is photographed in the video of "dry rice", there will always be a group of seabirds hovering around Xiaobu, and even when they open their mouths to eat, the seabirds who are "watching" are only a few tenths of a millimeter away from the "whale mouth", and netizens who do not know the truth will exclaim: Whales are eating seabirds??!!
Seabirds watching
The clever seabirds seem to be doing the "low-altitude work" of death, but in fact, they are all for "mixed food"!
Just mentioned that during the "dry rice" period, Xiaobu likes to open his mouth to wait for fish, and the fish gather in the mouth of the fish often jump out of the water, and the seabirds will swoop down to grab food when they see this opportunity! So ah ~ these skilled aerial "pirates" are not to "send bird heads" to give Xiaobu a full meal! Of course, their love for whales has also become a beautiful scene in our eyes!
It is incumbent upon us to love the ocean
In April 2018, Chinese scientists discovered a large cetacean population near Weizhou Island in the Guangxi North Sea, creating the first record of large cetacean populations distributed off the coast in the Chinese mainland after 1980.
The discovery of The Bushi whale "Xiaobu" in Dapeng Bay, Shenzhen, is the second time since 1980 that a large cetacean has been found in the coastal waters of the South China Sea. In fact, before the 1980s, whales and dolphins appeared in the abundant Dapeng Bay, and in 2005, Bruc's whales also visited Shenzhen. In March 2017, a pregnant sperm whale sank forever on the bottom of pengcheng, and the waves hit the shore, and people felt that their lives were gone, and their determination to protect the ocean became stronger and stronger.
The arrival of XiaoBu seems to be accidental, but it is inevitable! In recent years, Shenzhen's environmental protection is getting better and better, the sea area is becoming more and more pure, we are happy for the arrival of Xiaobu, in order to protect Xiaobu, Shenzhen multi-departmental linkage, of which the ecological and environmental protection department of Dapeng New Area strengthens the coastline inspection of the Sea area infested by Brinell whales, and continuously monitors the quality of the sea, while cleaning up marine garbage and conducting marine scientific research.
Whales have lived in the open sea for a long time, and if there are boats on the surface of the water, the small cloth may not dare to go out of the water to gasp after being frightened, or it will cause suffocation. Therefore, we should not leave the principle of protecting wild animals behind in order to see the bryard whales, and we should avoid watching by boat. Whether it remains in this ocean or not, we should do so without much interference. However, as long as the small cloth is in a day, Shenzhen will protect it for a day!
