The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 615 Male and Female Swap (Seeking Subscription)

"However, rice field eel is different from loach. It can be said that rice field eel is an omnivorous fish that feeds on various small animals. Things don't starve."

Studio.

"When the host said that, it was indeed a bit like loach."

"No, it's really quite similar to hide in the mud in winter and come out to look for food in summer."

"Not only are the living habits similar, but even the appearance is slippery."

"But this eel is much scarier than the loach..."

"Yes, eels bite people, but loaches don't bite people anyway!"

"Although the loach doesn't bite, its cry is quite scary."

"I don't think that's much better. Both things have no legs. I'm most afraid of such molluscs..."

"Yeah, I'm scared too."

"Yes, yes, I am terrified of all the molluscs. If it weren't for Mr. Li's live broadcast room, I would have been offline a long time ago."

"Yeah, if it weren't for the anchor's good looks, I wouldn't watch the anchor catch eels."

"How interesting it is to catch eels!"

"I think it's fun too."

"Fun?! Obviously scary is good?!"

In fact, rice field eels don't have any special attack skills, nor do they have any powerful defensive weapons.

Although it is said that eels bite people, in fact, there are not many news about eels biting people on the Internet.And the only skill that the eel can use may be the last trick of Sun Tzu's Art of War... It's better to go.

This animal has neither pectoral nor pelvic fins, and even the dorsal and anal fins have degenerated to only a little skinfold, and the scales have disappeared so hard to see with the naked eye.

Fortunately, it is similar to a loach, and its whole body can secrete very slippery mucus, so its ability to escape can be described as first-rate.

If you don't pay attention, it is easy for the eel to escape. Even if it is caught, it is very likely that it will escape because of the catch.

But... Although the mucus on the eel's body is a bit disgusting, it has a great effect.

The mucus of eels can prevent bacteria and germs from infecting the body, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and prevent the entanglement of parasitic animals and plants, which is conducive to growth, and the smooth surface of the eel is conducive to its unimpeded passage in the mud.

Li Yuan: "In fact, the eel has a very interesting feature. It can be said to be one of the few animals that can be reversed."

Studio.

"Sexual reversal? What does that mean?"

"What is sex reversal?"

"Wait a minute, sex reversal? Does it mean you can be a male as well as a female?"

"Damn, sex reversal? Is it so awesome?"

"Can you turn around? True or false?"

"Anchor, is what you said true? Does the eel still have such abilities?"

Li Yuan nodded: "Well, eels are female when the embryo develops to the first sexual maturity, but it will become a male from the second sexual maturity."

"That is to say, Swamp Eel can experience both the feeling of being a father and the feeling of being a mother in his life. It's just that this situation will not switch back and forth, only this opportunity."

Studio.

"Damn it! Awesome!"

"envious……"

"Your words of envy upstairs... make me feel a little incomprehensible!"

"Isn't this rice field eel too good?"

"There is such a magical race in the animal world? This is the first time I've heard of it!"

"I've only heard that Jiao can be both a mother and a father in mythology, but I always thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect this kind of situation to actually exist in reality!"

"No, it really opened my eyes..."

"The world is really big, full of wonders!"

Li Yuan: "Actually, there are quite a few species of animals that have this kind of sex reversal, but... most of them are fish."

"As we all know, the natural world is a society where the strongest survive."

"So in the animal world, it is not uncommon to obtain food or mating rights through cruel violence or some despicable deceitful behavior."

"This kind of cruel competition can be said to be a kind of drive for the genes of species continuation, and for this reason, they will also produce a certain amount of intelligent evolution as time progresses."

"The so-called sexual reversal... is one of their methods."

"In the ocean, many creatures directly sow eggs, sperm or larvae in the ocean. As they grow slowly, they become male individuals, but as they grow older, they gradually become female individuals."

"Like many marine mollusks, oysters, limpets, wrasses, and clownfish are typical representatives of animal sex reversal."

"The oyster starts life as a relatively small male and gradually switches sexes as it grows. It even goes through a period of hermaphroditism."

"There are also clownfish. Its group is composed of a pair of adult fish and juvenile fish that change randomly in number. Such a monogamous lifestyle prevents clownfish from causing wars due to competition for mating rights, and it is also relatively safe. It is good for the development of small males."

"But when these males grow up, they turn into females, and a delicate male can produce enough sperm to fertilize his mate."

"If the female disappears, then one male gains weight, changes sex and mates with another smaller male."

"And this is entirely to make their race more prosperous."

Studio.

"It's so fucking perverted!"

"Simply subverting my three views, there is such a way of life?"

"I think these races are great."

"Yeah, for the sake of the survival of one's own race, changing from a male to a female is indeed quite a great change."

"This is nature, it's amazing..."

"So, if you catch a rice field eel, can you tell whether it's a male or a female?"

"I remember a friend who raised rice field eels said that it seems that the length of rice field eels can tell whether they are male or female."

Li Yuan also nodded: "Of course, the eel is just a sexual reversal, and it's not a hermaphrodite in a single stage."

"As for the body length distinction mentioned by this friend just now... I also know a little bit."

"In the group of rice field eels, when the body length is less than 24 centimeters, they are generally females, while those with a body length of more than 42 centimeters are all males."

"Film eels between 24 and 42 centimeters are a little more difficult to distinguish because there are both males and females in this length."

"This method of discrimination is mainly because the eels below 24 centimeters are basically young, so they have not yet reached the period of sexual reversal, so they are naturally male."

"The ones over 42 centimeters have basically completed sex reversal, so naturally there are more females."
