Live Broadcast: Do you call this a waste of life?

Chapter 57 Can We Discuss Something?
Pandas in the water?
Is it such a horrible name?
Ye Nanfeng didn't dare to approach him anymore. If something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to pass through the prison?
But Ye Nanfeng didn't approach, it doesn't mean that the Baiji dolphin won't approach.

The white dolphin swam up to Ye Nanfeng, then touched Ye Nanfeng lightly with its long beak, and then started circling around him.

"The giant panda in the water looks pretty cute. Can the animal protection boss spread the word? Let everyone increase their knowledge!"

In the Huaxia Wildlife Conservation Association, a 25-year-old boy was watching Ye Nanfeng's live broadcast. At this moment, he jumped up excitedly.

"Baiji dolphin! Come and see if this is a baiji dolphin?"

As soon as the words came out, all the men, women and children next to me stared at the screen carefully in order to come over.

An elderly man nodded, and said with affirmative tone: "This must be a baiji dolphin. All the characteristics match very well. Fang Hou, do you know where this is?"

Fang Hou said: "Teacher, I don't know where this is, but it should not be in the Yangtze River Basin."

The old man's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "No wonder you can't even investigate near the Yangtze River Basin. Where is this, can you ask? This is so meaningful to us!"

Fang Hou was in a bit of a dilemma. First, he didn't know where Ye Nanfeng's family lived. Second, even if he knew, he couldn't tell others without Ye Nanfeng's consent, even if the person who asked was his teacher.

In fact, he knew that the approximate location was in Province J, so if he wanted to find it, he could spend some time to find it, but this kind of result was not what he wanted, and it probably wasn't what Ye Nanfeng wanted either.

So he could only shake his head: "Teacher, I'll try my best. If you can't ask, let's not force it."

At this time, he also saw the question from the water friends on the bullet screen, and seeing that Ye Nanfeng was not convenient to answer, he wanted to help Nanfeng popularize science.

Learn more about protecting animals: "Baiji is an aquatic animal of the order Cetacea and the family Baiji. It is a small freshwater whale unique to China."

Learn more about protecting animals: "The body of the Baiji dolphin is spindle-shaped, with the thickest navel, a body length of 1.5-2.5 meters, and a weight of about 230 kilograms. The snout is very narrow and long, about 30 centimeters, and the front end is slightly upturned."

Learn about protecting animals: "The fumarole is long and long, and it is located on the top of the head to the left. The eyes are extremely small, located behind and above the corner of the mouth. The ear holes are as small as pinholes, located on both sides of the head, behind and below the eyes.

Learn more about protecting animals: "The dorsal fin is triangular, located slightly behind the middle of the body, with a pointed upper end, a long base, wide flippers, and blunt ends. The rear edge of the fin is concave, and there are teeth carved in the center.

Learn more about protecting animals: "The left and right skulls are asymmetrical, the cranial cavity is large, the back is blue-gray or gray, the abdomen is white, usually milky white, and all fins are white, so it is called Baiji Dolphin."

"Baiji dolphins form a family of their own and are ancient relict creatures. Fossil evidence shows that they appeared in the Yangtze River in the late Miocene 530 million years ago."

"Since the late 20th century, it has been severely damaged by human activities and its number has declined sharply. It was listed as a first-class protected wild animal in China in 1988."

"However, the remaining populations are still dying out. It is considered to be the first cetacean animal that is going extinct due to human factors. It inhabits the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Dongting, Poyang Lake and other places, and feeds on pelagic fish as the staple food."

"The baiji dolphin was first recorded in the "Erya" dictionary in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the animal was named '鱀'."

"This is because there was not much knowledge of cetacean aquatic mammals at that time, so this 鱀 was mistakenly classified as fish. When the character was created, it was used next to the word 'fish', and the fishermen and common people along the Yangtze River called it ' Jiang pig'."

"In China at that time, it was estimated that there were as many as 5000 baiji dolphins, and they were known as the goddess of the Yangtze River and the "Mermaid of the Yangtze River."

"Guo Pu, a native of Jin, added more detailed notes on the living habits and morphological characteristics of the baiji dolphin in the "Er Ya Zhu", and for the first time correctly separated the baiji into fish."

"鱀, which belongs to the genus, has a body like a sturgeon, a tail like a fish, a small beak, sharp and long, a set of teeth, the upper and lower bites, the nose is on the forehead, can make sounds, less meat and more paste, viviparous, good at eating small fish, The big ones are more than ten feet long, and there are many in the river."

"Kong Wuzhong in the Northern Song Dynasty wrote "The Poem of the Finless Porpoise". The "Baiji" in the poem is the Baiji dolphin, and he pointed out that it is not the same as the finless porpoise."

"In September 1981, Chinese geologists discovered a fragment of a mandible fossil of a prehistoric animal in GX. This mandible came from an ancient baiji called the original baiji (genus name: Parapontoporia). "

"Fossils record the ancient traits of the original baiji more than 2000 million years ago, and the modern baiji is not much different from it."

"Perhaps because the habitat space is relatively closed, there is less competition for survival and environmental changes, the baiji dolphin retains the original form of its ancestors, so it is called a 'living fossil'."

“2006年11月6日-12月13日，华夏科学院水生生物研究所与瑞国白鱀豚保护基金会联合开展‘2006长江淡水豚类考察’。”

"Cetacean experts from China, the country of cherry blossoms, the country of the United States, the country of Canada, the country where the sun never sets, the country of Germany, and the country of Switzerland conducted a six-week scientific investigation on the main stream of the Yangtze River from Yishi to SH city, and found no cetaceans. cum dolphin, determined to be functionally extinct."

"On November 2018, 11, the "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species" (IUCN) was updated. The baiji dolphin has not yet been confirmed extinct, and the original rating of 'critically endangered' is maintained."

"Although it is rated as critically endangered, the Baiji dolphin is already extinct, so Nanfeng's discovery can completely change the status of this species!"

"And the most important thing is that Baiji is a herd animal, usually in pairs or more than 10 together. It likes to move in deep water and rapids, and likes to live in groups. Especially during the mating season in spring, the group behavior is more obvious."

"However, in the wild, the male to female ratio of adult Baiji dolphins is 1:1, but the pregnancy rate of females is generally only 30%, and the natural reproduction rate is very low, which is one of the reasons why it is extremely rare."

Frantically pressing the screen of the phone with his fingertips, Fang Hou sent out all the knowledge he knew about Baiji dolphins in one breath. After sending back the last sentence, he was gasping for breath from exhaustion, probably because he was also nervous.

Ye Nanfeng looked at the barrage, and stretched out his thumbs in praise. He was very grateful to Fang Hou, because he really didn't know that this ugly and cute guy in front of him had such an awesome identity.

With Fang Hou's explanation, I don't need to say anything, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing for the water friend to ask me if I don't know, but this may be what the water friend wants.

Let's protect animals and understand: "Nanfeng, can we discuss something?"
