Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 701 Sleepy Whale

A huge jet sound sounded on the vast ice field, Bi Fang pulled the rein, and stopped Sansha from continuing to move forward.

The audience was also startled by the sudden sound and asked what it was.

【what sound? 】

【what is that? 】

[Something exploded? 】

Bi Fang rolled up the musk oxhide, got off the sled, stood on the ice, looked into the distance, under the faint starlight, watched the water jet spray again, as if something was constantly rising and falling, and had a vague guess in his heart .

Looks like a whale.

whale! ?

The water friends were taken aback. The height of the drone was much higher than that of Bi Fang. Theoretically, they could see farther than Bi Fang, but looking at the past, there was a large area, all of which were glaciers. How could whales appear and spray water? There is a water column?

How did they come out?

Go and have a look. Bi Fang stepped on the sled again, pulled the reins, adjusted the direction and rushed towards the direction of the jet of water.

As the distance approached, the audience finally saw through the drones in the sky that on the vast ice sheet, there was a huge ice cave at some point, with seawater surging inside, and inside the ice cave, a giant The beast is constantly rising and falling, spouting water jets.

[What a whale! ! ! 】

[How did the whale come here? 】

[Greenland already has whales, do you think? 】

[Wait, there seems to be more than one whale! 】

[Two ends! There are two ends! 】

No, it's three heads.

Bi Fang drove the sled to the side of the cave, and finally saw clearly what the huge monster under the undulating sea was.

With a huge body length of more than ten meters, the whole body is gray, covered with white spots, and the skin is uneven, which looks very mottled.

[What kind of whale is this? blue whale 】

[I guess not. Didn’t Lao Fang encounter it once? It feels different from the blue whale.]

These are three gray whales, and they seem to be a family.

Bi Fang, who was squatting next to the ice cave, gave the answer directly, and the audience was taken aback.

[A family? 】

【I can't even recognize what kind of whale it is】

[So big, this is too big]

For those who don't know, every kind of large whale seems to have the same appearance, but for a little professional person, every kind of whale has a big difference.

The body length of gray whales is between 10-15 meters, and the weight exceeds more than 30 tons. The whole body is gray, dark gray or blue-gray, with white spots, and the color of the belly is lighter.

Did you see the unevenness on their backs? Bi Fang pointed to the backs of the gray whales that surfaced, Those are mainly scratched by rocks or sandstones, and left behind by parasitic animals such as barnacles. It is also known as the 'grey rocky shore swimmer'.

The mottled skin is not good-looking, and most of the audience have more or less goosebumps.

Bi Fang went on to point out some unique characteristics of gray whales.

In addition to these, there are many gray whales that are not unique, but the presence of all of them is unique. For example, its eyes are oval, located behind the corner of the mouth, and the position of the eyes is higher than that of other baleen whales. The upper eyelid is slightly longer.

The ear openings are large, large enough to insert a pencil, between the eyes and the base of the flippers.

The baleen is light yellow, with about 140-180 pieces on each side, and a length of 40-50 cm. The baleen plate is thick, and the baleen hair is rough. The whole baleen plate gives people a heavy feeling.

There is also a thick and fat body, especially the thickest near the flippers. Although there is no dorsal fin, the back is also exposed. You can see 8 to 15 small hump-shaped bumps on the back of the tail.

And gray whales don't have folds, emmm, everyone knows Thanos, right? Bi Fang rubbed his chin and said suddenly.

【I know, I know, purple sweet potato essence】

[Why are you still related to Thanos? 】

That's right, Thanos' jaw is a bit like a whale's fold groove, which gray whales don't have. Some people think that the fold groove helps the animal to expand or shrink the chest cavity when it breathes, and it can increase when it eats. The capacity of the oral cavity, and the gray whale is the most primitive shallow water type among the existing baleen whales, so the fold grooves are not as developed as other baleen whales.

Seemingly seeing Bi Fang's arrival, the gray whale that came out of the water to take a breath let out a mournful moan like a human's sigh, spreading continuously on the ice sheet, and sprayed a stream of water towards the ice cave. The water column, said to be a water column, is more like an icicle.

The mist-like water vapor instantly turned into frost when it came into contact with the extremely cold weather in the Arctic. Part of it fell into the ocean and dissolved, and the other part fell on the ice surface and accumulated continuously. Have been here for a long time.

The gray whale has two fumaroles, both of which are located behind the highest point of the snout. The distance between the front ends of the two holes is relatively close, about 7 cm, and the distance between the rear ends is slightly farther, about 21 cm. We just saw And all I heard was it puffing.

Because there are two of them, the fog column ejected by the gray whale is short and thick. Just like there is only one fog column, the combination of two makes the water column more obvious, which can be easily seen by us.

If it weren't for such a thick column of fog, even Bi Fang's eyesight would be hard to notice at the North Pole at night.

【I see】

【Is it dangerous to stand by the side】

[The cry of the whale makes me feel so sad]

At this time, the audience was full of puzzlement, especially when they saw the scar on the head of the gray whale. The whale looked like it was masturbating itself.

It's not dangerous. I once encountered a blue whale when I was trying to survive in the ocean. I don't know if you remember what I said before. There are two types of whales.

One is the baleen whales, which have no teeth and mainly eat some crustaceans, like krill, and are quite docile to humans in terms of temperament. The other is the toothed whales, which have sharp teeth and like to eat large squid. , octopus and fish, relatively ferocious, gray whales, like blue whales, are also a type of baleen whales.

But this still doesn't solve the audience's confusion, why the gray whale is here, and it keeps rising and falling.

Although Bi Fang said that the skin on the head of the gray whale was scratched like this by rocks or something, but now there are obviously many new injuries on the head of the gray whale, which can be seen by normal people, and it is impossible for Fang Shen not to know.

Simple, they're stuck.

stuck?

What's the meaning?

The more the audience listened, the more confused they became.

Bi Fang stood up, looked at the vast ice field, and squinted his eyes: There are ice sheets for at least several kilometers around, and gray whales don't break the ice directly like bowhead whales. They can't break the ice to breathe and swim into the sea, so they can only guard this one. At the entrance of the cave, keep breathing.
