Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 490: Pig, Whale, and Fish (asking for monthly tickets)

When there are no other problems, prying barnacles off can be quite stress-relieving.

Chen Ying sat on the reef and cleaned the carapace of the big turtle that carried him here.

There are also some on the breastplate, but not in large numbers. It is said that some smart sea turtles will deliberately use their breastplate to rub against the reefs to rub off the barnacle seedlings. However, it is not easy to do so on the turtle's back, especially the edge of the shell. Where can they find such a suitable reef to rub against?

In fact, strictly speaking, even if there are barnacles on healthy turtles, it is not a big problem. They will find stones by themselves, or rub on the suitable beach, so that the barnacle shells will break and fall off naturally.

The reason why turtles are covered with barnacles and seaweed is that they are sick, which gives the barnacles an opportunity to reproduce wildly.

If you find a sea turtle covered with barnacles and seaweed, the first thing you should do is call a marine animal rescue organization instead of trying to pry it open yourself.

The plastron and carapace of a turtle may seem hard, but if not handled properly they may cause the turtle to be injured, sick, and even die.

Professional doctors have tools and techniques to deal with this situation. Just like you can sew clothes, you can't say you can also sew wounds, right?

For the turtle that was previously rescued and was covered with barnacles and seaweed, the most important thing was to treat it first, then clean it up, and finally release it after making sure it was fine.

In fact, this big sea turtle did not specifically ask Chen Ying for help in dealing with barnacles. It was just forced by the Ocean Streeter to come here to act as a mount.

Barnacle cleaning, a tip from the two-legged creature it serves! ┓(`)┏

It took more than an hour to remove all the barnacles from the turtle shell.

A coast guard came over to take photos and left some things he could use.

"Brother Ying, let's have a barbecue here at noon. I'll ask them to send some food over and grill the seafood directly, using the freshest ingredients."

On the other side, Aaron and his friend were diving with Dao Meihua and several sisters from the Yu family.

Dao Meihua's sister-in-law drove the small yacht at home directly over, and another second-generation who was not short of money directly rented a medium-sized yacht from the yacht club and drove to the island to play together.

Aaron and several of his colleagues were on vacation today. When they heard that the boss here had temporarily asked for a diving coach to play with them, they rushed over without saying a word.

However, they knew their limits and chose to play on the other side of the island, trying not to disturb the intimate interaction between Chen Ying and the turtle.

Not far away, the white dolphins and killer whales seemed to be having some kind of competition, jumping out of the water one after another. The scene was novel to Aaron and his friends who grew up by the sea, as they had never seen such lively interaction between whales and dolphins!

Have you seen the dance battle?
The group of white dolphins and killer whales at the scene looked almost like this.

You jump one, and I’ll do one. I promise to jump better, higher and more gracefully than yours.

Whales jump from the water into the air and then return to the sea. This set of actions is called "leaping against the waves". After research and analysis by experts, the purpose of their doing this set of actions can be roughly divided into three categories: communication, courtship, and elimination of parasites.

But today, when the scene of the "competition" between white dolphins and killer whales came out, I guess one more thing will have to be added: playing.

It used to be said that killer whales would not prey on dolphins, but a photographer named Jody once captured the entire process of a group of killer whales hunting dolphins in Monterey Bay.

Putting down the knife, Chen Ying moved his neck and shoulders.

Don’t be fooled by those video bloggers who use knives to pry them one by one. In fact, cleaning up these annoying little things without hurting the turtles is a technical and physical job.

After the turtle was patted on its carapace to indicate that the beauty treatment was complete, it happily swam back into the water.

More than 20 minutes later, Chen Ying, who was eating breakfast, saw the turtle coming up with something in its mouth.

Wow, what a big jellyfish!
Sea turtles eat jellyfish, just like they eat noodles.

But the turtle he just helped was a green turtle. Adult turtles mainly feed on seaweed and algae, and occasionally eat jellyfish, fish and shellfish. Young turtles mainly feed on fish eggs and small marine invertebrates such as mollusks, and also eat plants such as algae.

In their opinion, jellyfish are delicious, so giving jellyfish as gifts is a popular idea in the sea turtle circle.

However, it dared to give it to Chen Ying, but she didn't dare to eat it.

After much persuasion, the turtle was finally persuaded to eat the jellyfish itself.

He was just about to go on the yacht to catch up on some sleep when the sound of splashing water was heard, and the sea water covered Chen Ying's head and face.

He wiped his face weakly and looked at the guy who made trouble.

Needless to say, it was the smallest killer whale. It was actually looking at Chen Ying eagerly, wanting him to help throw back the thing it had just played with.

The thing fell into the reef, and there happened to be a water hole of about three or four square meters on the reef, otherwise it would have hit the reef head-on and broken into pieces.

Chen Ying had no choice, he had a natural fondness for these black and white cute little ones, just like an old father who dotes on his children at home, knowing that his own child is naughty but still insists that he is smart, lively and outgoing.

Chen Ying walked slowly and carefully down into the water hole.

These places may look peaceful, but if you are not careful, you can easily get your skin scratched. The creatures in the sea are so diverse that you may not know why you got infected.

He had left the cruise ship without shoes, let alone waders.

After walking over, he found a dying little turtle lying in the muddy water.

The little turtle had no external injuries, nor was it invaded by barnacles or other aquatic plants, but its condition was obviously abnormal at a glance.

Chen Ying picked up the little turtle and examined it carefully and found that it was suffering from severe malnutrition. It looked like it was on the verge of death.

When the little killer whale saw Chen Ying pick up his little toy, he excitedly circled in the sea.

But after turning around twice, I found that the two-legged beast actually brought his little toy on board! On board?
The baby killer whale froze in the water as if struck by lightning.

Chen Ying could tell that the turtle was sick, but she couldn't tell with the naked eye what disease it had.

External injuries can be treated on the spot, but diseases that require instruments to diagnose must be sent to a veterinary hospital for treatment.

However, he could probably guess the reason. It was most likely gastrointestinal digestion problems caused by the little turtles eating plastic bags.

This is also the most common situation for sea turtles in the ocean. They will mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them into their stomachs. Plastic bags cannot be decomposed and digested. If they are lucky, they can be excreted. If they are unlucky, they will accumulate in the body and easily cause symptoms similar to intestinal obstruction.

Just then, a young man happened to be going back to get something, so Chen Ying simply got on his speedboat, intending to send the little turtle back and then come back with a new set of clothes.

Dao Meihua was having a great time with her sister-in-law and the others. She made a gesture and dived into the water.

Chen Ying smiled and shook his head. He was not particularly interested in diving. He just wanted to have fun for the fun and it was impossible for him to get addicted to it. But if you asked him to go hiking, that would be a different matter. He would not mind not going home for several days and nights.

The zoo's veterinary station is currently treating the turtle that came here. It's now in much better condition than when it first arrived, and its body temperature has returned to normal.

When it came, the turtle was dying, but now, it can still paddling slowly in the pool.

"Hey, Brother Ying is here to inspect the work."

This is not the doctors being sarcastic, this is just a joke.

Chen Ying chuckled and put the net bag on the table.

"I've got presents for you."

There was a young nurse nearby who was quick to open it and took a look. She said, "Tsk, this is a three-year minimum plan, right? How could you do this to such a young child?" There was laughter in the treatment room.

The little nurse said this as she held out the little turtle.

Although she is young, she has a lot of work experience. This kind of veterinary station, which is similar to a private hospital, only needs experts who can work independently, otherwise the higher salary would be unworthy.

"This little guy is malnourished. He probably ate something he couldn't digest. Meimei, take him for a checkup."

Chen Ying did not interfere with their work. When it comes to the treatment of marine life, although not all the people here are experts, at least they have more experience than him.

After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Ying returned to the hotel, took a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to rent a speedboat to go to the island to spend a good day with his girlfriend.

The tourist beach is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. After crossing the beach and entering the edge of the reef area, you will find the pier. You can hardly see any yachts there during the day. There are only motorboats parked nearby, which will take you to the sea and race a hundred meters in ten minutes.

A little further out is a speedboat, which can be rented by three or four people and charged by the hour.

Chen Ying was carrying a waterproof bag and looking at her cell phone as she walked.

He was chatting with Yin Li and showing off the cute little ones he took photos of.

"Brother Ying, come here, come here."

Chen Ying originally planned to rent a speedboat to take himself there, but he didn't expect that the young man who had hitchhiked on the boat before was still waiting for him.

"Brother Ying, let's go, do you need to bring anything else?"

You don't need to bring anything with you, just go there.

In addition to the young man driving the boat, there was also a dark-skinned boy on the boat.

"He's my younger brother. He's training with the swimming team. He has a day off today and wants to go to the island with me."

Chen Ying looked at the boy curiously. He was only eleven or twelve years old, but he already had six-pack abs!
As soon as we reached the exit of the bay, we saw the motorboat next to the sea park suddenly capsized.

"Damn it, help!"

The young man who was steering the boat turned a corner without thinking and headed towards the place where the boat capsized. When he got close to the accident, his brother flipped over nimbly, stepped on the side of the boat, and jumped into the water like a fish without causing much waves.

My goodness, is this guy a mermaid who has come ashore?

Chen Ying knew that she was definitely not as good at swimming as the kids who grew up by the sea, so she didn't make trouble. Instead, she called the coast guard to report the situation.

Others came to help with the rescue.

The good thing is that all tourists wore life jackets.

The bad thing was that the motorboat, which was supposed to seat only two people, was squeezed with three people. Then the child in the middle felt that the strap of the life jacket was too uncomfortable, so he quietly unbuckled his seat belt.

Now he fell into the water, his clothes were still there, but he sank.

The child’s parents were rescued immediately, but the child didn’t see it.

Three or four people dived down to look for the child but couldn't find him anywhere.

Someone on the speedboat nearby murmured quietly, saying that this kid must be a weight, as he sank to the bottom without even popping his head up.

Another person said that he had seen the child and he was very fat.

"The owner of the motorboat said that children cannot ride alone, and he was fat, with a body shape similar to that of a 17 or 18-year-old. But he just wouldn't listen and insisted on riding, so in the end, only his mother could accompany him. See, this is what happened."

Chen Ying listened and became a little anxious.

At this moment, a little killer whale jumped up not far away. It was the little guy whose toy was "stolen" by Chen Ying and who followed him unwillingly.

Seeing it, Chen Ying suddenly had an idea.

I waved hard at the baby killer whale, and the little guy swam over and hit the speedboat with its head, almost capsizing it.

"No, little guy, help save someone, I'll get you whatever you want to eat, okay?"

The coast guard has arrived, and divers have also rushed here to prepare for rescue. Chen Ying asked the baby killer whale for help just to try it out, and there is no guarantee that the baby killer whale can understand.

The little killer whale tilted its head, glanced at the crowd not far away, and sank into the water.

A few minutes later, about twenty meters away from the accident site, the baby killer whale floated to the surface carrying the person.

It didn't allow anyone else to approach it and swam directly to Chen Ying to show him.

"You are awesome. I will get the person up first and give you something delicious later."

The coast guard ship also approached.

The speedboat is not as easy to operate as the coast guard ship, so several diving instructors and safety officers worked together to get the man onto the coast guard ship.

First aid for drowning is also a skill that the coast guard must master. They must ignore other things and rush to the shore while providing first aid. They must save people from the devil and not waste a single second.

Seeing the people being rescued and sent away, Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief and helped to pull up the boatman's younger brother.

The little brother thanked shyly and his eyes could not leave the baby killer whale.

"Brother Ying, what does it want to eat? I'll go down to the sea and catch it for it."

After hearing Chen Ying's promise to the baby killer whale, the young man driving the boat offered to help.

"Brother, gosh, you're not as good at catching fish as I am."

With a snap, the young man blocked his brother's shot and said, "Be quiet. Your body hasn't recovered yet. If you keep making trouble, Mom will cry if she finds out."

The boy stuck out his tongue and said nothing more. He lay on the side of the boat, watching the little killer whale following their speedboat.

When we got to the island, we saw a group of girls playing water polo with a few dolphins watching nearby.

The group of killer whales has disappeared, probably because they went out to hunt.

The little killer whale was not worried at all about not being able to find its family. It rushed into the middle of the dolphins, leaped, and its short and fat body jumped out of the water and then crashed into the water.

This baby killer whale really has a family bloodline, and he has shown the style of a street kid at such a young age.

Chen Ying had an idea and asked someone for a bigger water ball, which he threw at the dolphins watching.

The dolphin that got the water ball seemed to have got some incredible toy. It started to head the ball madly, then made another leap and met the water ball in the air.

However, what caught people off guard was that when the pig headed the ball, its tail hit the water ball with a "bang", and the pig, along with the pig that headed the ball, was knocked several meters away.

Fierce!
