Ye Xuan's voice was calm and a little casual, making it very comfortable to listen to.
"But what I want to say is that only the dugong is the most convincing, and I have seen this kind of sea creature that is almost the same as the mermaid described in the story."
After everyone heard it, I felt a little unbelievable. I didn't expect Ye Xuan to have actually seen a mermaid. Although it wasn't the mermaid in the legend, it was considered a real one.
"Then what does this dugong look like?"
After sister Zifeng calmed down a little, she asked slowly.
She knew that she was an adult now and could no longer be self-willed, so she obediently sat aside and listened to Ye Xuan's narration of related stories.
Ye Xuan nodded after hearing this, and asked Peng Peng to bring the pen and paper over.
"Since you want to know, I just ticked off a few random strokes, but if you want to know what it looks like, you can go to Baidu to search, I believe that the pictures that Baidu searches should be clearer than the ones I drew. "
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and randomly swiped a few strokes of the image of the dugong on the paper, and it was sketched out like that.
"It probably looks like this. It is actually very different from the legendary mermaid. The appearance of the dugong looks the same as most sea creatures."
Ye Xuan shrugged, he couldn't guarantee this, after all, he couldn't fabricate a mermaid out of thin air.
"Does it look like this?"
Sister Zifeng was a little unbelievable when she saw the creature in the painting.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
At this time, the netizens in the live broadcast room all took out their mobile phones, ready to search for what the legendary dugong looks like?
But when they found this creature, their jaws dropped in shock. Compared with the creature painted on Ye Xuantu, it is actually quite good-looking, because the real dugong looks a little silly, so to speak It's not very pretty.
"Why do you look like this? It completely broke my fantasy about mermaids."
After seeing the picture of the dugong, Peng Peng glanced at his mouth, looking a little unbelievable.
"Yes, that's right, that's how it looks."
Ye Xuan smiled and nodded after seeing that picture, it was exactly the same as the one he had seen before, except that the current one was a bit fatter.
"Is it just like this? But how can such a creature be compared with a mermaid?"
Sister Zifeng frowned, not quite understanding.
"Let me tell you this."
Ye Xuan knew that Zifeng would react like this, it was normal, when he first saw a creature like a dugong, he couldn't connect him with a mermaid.
But after hearing some popular science and stories about dugongs, he slowly accepted it.
"Actually, it's because dugongs are viviparous marine creatures, and they use their breasts to feed their young just like us humans."
"During breastfeeding, the dugong embraces its forelimbs, while its head and chest are out of the water, which creates what people see as a mermaid holding a cub."
Ye Xuan described it again, and everyone went online to find some pictures of dugongs breastfeeding, and after such a comparison, they found that what Ye Xuan said was indeed true.
"But even if this is the case, it can't be regarded as a mermaid. These two creatures can't be compared at all."
Sister Zifeng stomped her feet, looking a little angry.
"That's because the dugong came up to the surface to avoid his cubs choking on the water while sucking, which is a routine he does to protect his cubs."
Seeing Zifeng's younger sister like this, Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly.
"It is precisely because of this that dugongs, a sea creature, are mistaken for mermaids."
Ye Xuan is really helpless, the mermaid has been deeply ingrained in everyone's mind, and now it is very difficult to change people's thinking.
Sister Zifeng sighed helplessly, seemingly reluctantly accepting this statement.
Seeing her like this, Ye Xuan continued talking.
"Dugongs are pure vegetarians without fighting power. You must know that in the vast ocean, there are very few pure vegetarian marine mammals."
Chapter 279 Man and Nature Must Live in Harmony
Ye Xuan's words surprised everyone. When they first saw a creature like dugong, they thought he was a meat eater. After all, he is not only a little scary, but also very ferocious.
"Dugong is a marine herbivorous mammal. It looks very much like a seal and sea lion in terms of appearance, but in fact its body is spindle-shaped and has no neck. But the main difference between him and sea lions and walruses is its tail fin. It is in the shape of a crescent moon, symmetrical on the left and right sides, which is the fish tail of a mermaid."
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, everyone turned over the photo of the dugong and observed it carefully, only to find that it was indeed the case, no wonder they regarded it as a mermaid.
"You should know that sea lions and walruses are also mammals, but dugongs mainly live in tropical shallow seas and feed on various aquatic plants. Their distribution is closely related to the distribution of seagrass."
Ye Xuan then spoke slowly.
"Dugongs usually like to float and sleep on the sea, but in fact, this behavior is to save energy, and it is precisely because they live in shallow seas that fishermen can easily see them floating back and forth on the sea, looking like mermaids .”
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, everyone understood why there were frequent rumors about mermaids.
"It turns out that's the case. I really learned a lot in this live broadcast room today."
"So there are no mermaids in this world, only stupid dugongs."
Netizens in the live broadcast room found it novel, and some thought it was very interesting. After all, everyone wanted to hear the story of Ye Xuan and the mermaid, not the popular science dugong.
"Although dugongs look like mermaids, they actually have poor eyesight and hearing, just like old people. Another point is that their mobility is also very poor, and their swimming speed is very, very slow. If they encounter a strong predators, such as sharks, basically have no chance of surviving."
Ye Xuan spread his hands, feeling a little sympathetic to what happened to Dugong.
After hearing this, sister Zifeng didn't know how to react for a while.
Although he was a little disappointed after seeing the dugong, but after hearing so many stories about the dugong, he felt that this creature still looked cute and cute.
"However, today's dugong is already an endangered marine creature, but its number is scarce, not because of nature or climate, but because of human beings."
When Ye Xuan said this, his tone became a little serious, and his face sank.
After everyone heard this passage, their hearts sank.
Nowadays, the development of human science and technology is very advanced. Of course, the price of rapid development is the destruction of nature.
A large part of the reason for the rapid development of people's living standards is nature.
"It is recorded that 4000 years ago, some people began to hunt and kill the elves in the ocean in large numbers, but the reason why humans don't kill them is because he has been a baby all his life."
When Ye Xuan said this, his tone was full of sarcasm.
"Dugong's meat is edible, and it is a good material for oil extraction. The bones can be used to carve objects, and the fur is a rare and high-quality leather material."
