Chapter 37 The Naughty Little Dolphin

"It's not Lanlan's words?"

Chen Fan's body stiffened immediately, goosebumps all over his body, could it be a water ghost?
If it was before, Chen Fan would have scoffed at this idea, but after seeing the elf, his belief was a little shaken.

At this moment, he felt his pants being pulled again, and even felt a little cool.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and thought to himself that it was a blessing, not a curse, but it was a curse that could not be avoided. He turned his head suddenly, and was immediately at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that a little dolphin more than one meter long was touching his clothes with its mouth.

Seeing Chen Fan turn around, the little dolphin let out a very humane cry, as if expressing his inner joy.

"Wow!"

Lan Lan yelled, her eyes gleaming.

"It turned out to be you little guy."

Chen Fan was almost scared to death. Looking at the slippery body of the little dolphin, he couldn't help touching it with his hands. It was slippery and very comfortable.

The little dolphin blinked, looking very enjoying it.

Lanlan looked at Chen Fan and then at the little dolphin, looking eager to try, but was caught by Chen Fan and couldn't move.

"Unexpectedly, there are dolphins here." Chen Fan was surprised and delighted.

Dolphin is a general term for a class of aquatic mammals in the family Dolphinidae. It is a small or medium-sized toothed whale. Yes, a dolphin is not a dolphin, but a whale.

They live widely in the world's oceans, and are also found in inland seas and brackish waters near river estuaries. Some species are found in inland rivers. They usually like to live in groups and prey on fish, squid, etc.

Dolphins have a spindle-shaped torso, smooth and hairless skin, strong and flexible body, and are good at jumping and diving. They are the fastest mammals in water. Therefore, dolphins are not fish. Cannot convert air in seawater.

Because of this, dolphins have long nostrils on the top of their heads, which are used to get out of the water for air.

What's even more rare is that they are very smart!One of the most intelligent animal families!Be more proficient in teamwork!
When dolphins hunt, they are like wolves in the water. They hunt in groups in a cooperative manner. With the unique sonar system, the dolphins can lock the position of the prey at the first time, and then flap their tail fins while approaching the prey at a swimming speed of up to 60km/h , While making a loud "click" sound to call friends, the notified dolphins will swim to the prey from different directions, and finally surround the prey such as a school of sardines like glutinous rice balls in the center.

After the encirclement is formed, the dolphins will be divided into three groups to start hunting!

The first group swims in the outer circle and surrounds them. They are well-trained, they follow each other closely, they move without chaos and in an orderly manner, and they shrink the huge encirclement circle just right with the momentum of impregnability, tightly restricting the range of activities of the central fish group. .

The second group took the lead and launched a cutting attack on the central fish school like sharp arrows and meteors. Repeated this several times, the assault dolphins who were swords broke through the defense of the central fish school. The swimming route of the fish was forced to change, the fish panicked and lost order one after another, and finally became a mess like a loose sand.

At this time, the third group entered the battle. They rushed into the center of the battlefield while drooling, and opened their long mouths unceremoniously when they saw the little fish that was left alone, and gorged and gorged for a while, until they were full and full The dolphins who are mature will consciously change guard with the guys in the circle group or the trapped camp group.

After several rotations like this, all the dolphins in the hunting group can eat to their heart's content. This kind of behavior for the sake of other individuals is really amazing, and the title of "the most intelligent marine life in the world" is indeed well deserved.

What's even more rare is that such a smart dolphin has a mysterious sense of closeness to humans, just like when people see dolphins, they will also have an inexplicable sense of closeness in their hearts.

The Greek historian Rotustu recorded such an incredible story in the book "The Legend of Arion": Arion was a famous lyric poet and musician who lived on the island of Lesbos in the 6th century BC. After touring in Italy, he took a boat with a large amount of money to return to Corinthian. On the way, the sailor was jealous of the money and tried to kill him.At that time, Arion asked to be allowed to sing another song, and the sailors agreed.

Unexpectedly, his melodious singing voice attracted countless ocean monsters.After he was thrown into the sea, one of them carried him all the way to the shore.This mysterious animal is the famous dolphin.

Even in modern times, incidents of dolphins rescuing people have occurred frequently. For example, the magazine "Natural History" published in 1949 published a story about a lawyer's wife in Florida, USA, who was drowned in sea water and passed out. When life and death were at stake, a nearby dolphin Pushed her onto the beach.

Perhaps because of the relationship between being mammals, humans and dolphins do have many similarities.

Dolphins live in the sea, which is different from the land environment of humans, and the way of birth is slightly different.

Young dolphins are born tail first, while human babies are born head first.Female dolphins usually have to be pregnant for eleven months before giving birth to their calf.

When the calf's entire body emerges from the mother's body, the mother and other females help it to the surface for its first breath, and then follow closely beside the mother.And when female dolphins give birth in the water, other female dolphins will gather together to prevent the invasion of sharks and killer whales.After giving birth, the other dolphins tend to the newborn calves while the mothers search for food, forming a circle where the calves can play safely and happily.

Newborn dolphins mainly feed on their mother's milk, so they have to follow their mother closely from birth until they are about three years old. After learning fishing and other survival skills, they will gradually stay away from the mother dolphin group and live with their friends .

Seeing this, some people may ask, why are all female dolphins and male dolphins?
In fact, in a sense, male dolphins are scumbags in the human world...

Generally speaking, it takes about 5 years for female dolphins to become sexually mature and ovulate, but it takes a few more years for them to become truly fertile.Once the male dolphins are mature, they spend all day in the group of female dolphins, looking for their "sweet man".Once they fall in love, they will adopt lightning tactics and immediately go away after mating. It can be said that they are native porpoises...

Dolphins are smart and proficient in teamwork. They are basically at the top of the food chain. Except for the more ferocious sharks, other marine creatures basically do not pose a threat to them. Life should be carefree and multiply.

However, all genera and species of Dolphinidae are listed as national protected animals, among which the Chinese white dolphin is the national first-class protected animal, and other dolphins are the national second-class protected animals. Dolphins are facing such a survival dilemma. It is conceivable that the largest Humans are behind the scenes!
