Chapter 142 Happy Feet

Ask for a reward, anything.

While Qiu Qing was installing a camera in a distant place, Fang Hong was introducing emperor penguins to everyone.

"Emperor penguins are also called emperor penguins. They are the largest species in the penguin family. You can see that they are 1.1 centimeters tall. The one over there may be 120 meters. It is said that the tallest can reach [-] centimeters and weigh up to [-] catties. The morphological feature is that there is a piece of orange-yellow feathers under the neck, which gradually fades downwards and is the deepest at the back of the ears. The whole body is coordinated in color. The neck is light yellow, the feathers of the ears are bright yellow-orange, the abdomen is creamy white, and the back and flippers are Black with a bright orange underside of the beak."

"The emperor penguin breeds offspring on the ice in the severe winter of Antarctica. The female penguin lays one egg at a time, and the male penguin incubates the eggs. There is a purple-skinned pouch full of blood vessels between the male emperor penguin's legs and under the abdomen. Keeping eggs at a comfortable 1C in ambient temperatures as low as -40C."

Fang Hong paused: "Speaking of which, everyone must understand a scientific truth, or correct a wrong common sense."

"That is, things like quilts or coats do not generate temperature. They keep warm because they prevent the dissipation of body heat."

"Brother Gun, don't think that everyone doesn't understand. Everyone has eaten popsicles. Isn't that the principle of popsicles meeting quilts?" It's just the opposite.

Fang Hong smiled: "Actually, the animals with the best ability to keep out the cold do not have thick fur, but fluffy fur, because cotton or cloth itself does not have the ability to prevent heat from escaping."

Not many people know this.

"In fact, it is the air, not the cotton, that blocks the heat from spreading. The function of the cotton is to separate the air into layers of air, and the air is the key to blocking the heat loss. Ads that say their down jackets are thin, breathable and warm are just bragging."

Of course, it is possible in theory, for example, the down jacket is divided into blocks, two thirds of which are isolated from air, one third is made of breathable material, and then the second layer is covered with the same grid, and the third layer is also the same Covering, the air holes of the three layers are not in the same position, so this effect can be achieved.

However, the clothes designed in this way are basically high-tech with high cost, and it is absolutely impossible for you to buy one for 200 yuan.

The penguins did not stand together, because it was not the season for the bone-chilling wind.

Many penguins swayed close to the shore and plunged into the water one by one.

The whole coast looks like a port, very busy.

Some penguins entered the water, and some penguins jumped out of the water and crawled on the ice.

A penguin jumped out of the water, jumped onto the ice, twirled around, and plunged into the sea again, making the water friends laugh.

This penguin is like a drunk.

Fang Hong approached the coast: "I'd better blow some air here, it's really smelly over there."

"I seem to have discovered Brother Gun's weakness."

"It should be. A cook like Brother Gun should not be able to bear this smell, after all, his sense of smell is too sensitive."

Fang Hong complained: "Your perception of taste often comes from the combined effect of smell and vision. It's like drinking Coke with your eyes blindfolded. It tastes the same as Sprite. When you smell the taste, the odor molecules will also stick to the tail of your tongue. on, so everyone is particularly sensitive to the taste of bitter things.”

"In the same way, standing in a stinky place and smelling it all the time is no different from eating it. In other words, this group of excited tourists are eating shi..."

Water friends are powerless to complain about Fang Hong's theory.

"This is the closest emperor penguin gathering place to the penguin wintering area. There are a lot of penguins here, thousands of them. Many of them are little penguins born last year. They are estimated to be only four or five months old. They are still too young. Need parental feeding, wait until next year to become independent."

This year, their task is to watch their parents hunt.

"It has only been a few hundred years since humans arrived in Antarctica, and large-scale landings have not yet come, so they have not learned to be afraid of people."

A naughty little penguin left his father's surroundings, and came to this place bouncing around.

Fang Hong was stunned, not knowing what to do.

Qiu Qing said that you can't disturb the life of emperor penguins, it's best not to touch them, you can't feed them, you can't help them, and you can't tease them.

Emperor penguins are already one of the rare species on earth that do not respond to human beings. They are of great scientific research value and cannot be actively contacted.

But Fang Hong didn't know how to deal with passive contact: "Damn it, it's coming, it's coming."

"What if his father comes and beats me..."

"Brother Gun, this little penguin looks like that happy big foot..."

"Hey, it's kind of like that."

The little penguin jumped over and didn't do anything. It slammed on the brakes in front of Fang Hong, jumped out of a U-shaped turn, and then turned back.

Its father stood there waiting for it, and then did not move.

Next to it, a little bigger penguin pecked at Bigfoot a few times.

Bigfoot wanted to resist, but he had no neck. He wanted to peck it back, but he couldn't. He looked so cute and stupid.

"Haha, chickens are pecking at each other."

"666, a perfect interpretation of this vocabulary."

Bigfoot's father bowed his head and hit the little penguin who bullied Bigfoot twice, and the bigger little penguin became honest in one fell swoop.

However, adult penguin fights were not triggered by children's fights.

"It really is Bigfoot, he was bullied."

On the ice bank in the distance, a big penguin jumped out of the water, jumped onto the ice 'port' tens of centimeters high, and came over while swinging.

Little Bigfoot had fun in an instant.

Probably hungry already.

"Adult male penguins can secrete a milky white liquid for the little penguins to fill their stomachs, just like the milk of mammals. However, this oral secretion has no nutrition, so it is only for the hunger of the little penguins. This seems to be Bigfoot Mom, the first thing I do when I return from hunting is to feed Bigfoot."

"Sometimes they will also feed adult male penguins, but most of the time they hand over each other, and the male penguins start hunting by themselves. But it seems that Bigfoot's father should have already hunted."

The big-footed mother lowered her head and opened her mouth, and the little penguin raised her head to bite the slightly exposed fish tail.

A small fish was bitten out by it.

The little fish seemed to be a little big, so he smashed his face.

The big foot that was smashed into the circle did not resist the call of nature, and bowed its head to enjoy every meal.

"Seeing Bigfoot eating happily, I seem to be hungry too."

In the distance, Qiu Qing rearranged some cameras, and then came over with the two instruments left before.

"Why are these cameras arranged so tightly?"

Qiu Qing was helpless: "Emperor penguins are saboteurs. We used to make cameras that resembled penguins, but they dismantled them. Now we cover the cameras with stone shells so that they cannot do damage. We will come back to take them again in a few days." You can get some data. This one is an air detector, and this one is an infrared camera, which records the first-hand information of emperor penguins migrating from the inland to spend the summer. It has been half a year, so take it back and analyze it.”

"nailed it?"

"It's done, go back, sleep comfortably tonight, tomorrow will be tortured."

Fang Hong smiled: "I will make a new dish for everyone tonight, Sichuan-flavored drunken shrimp."
