Mermaid?Siren!

Chapter 3 Prey

Swimming at full speed on the bottom of the sea for a while, the beauty snake stopped when there were no other sea snakes around, resurfaced, relaxed its body, and let the sea gently support itself.

The sea is calm at night, and some luminous objects in the sea are shining with colorful lights. They are jellyfish and some luminous plankton, floating in the water, setting off the sea surface and competing with the starry sky.

Floating on the surface of the sea, he remembered the previous question again, where should he go.

Don't think about going back for the time being, the sea snake's estrus lasts for two months, during this period, he doesn't want to go back at all.

But he didn't seem to have anywhere to go either.Sea snakes always like to live in coral reefs where the water is warm and clear, and although he is a special sea snake, his hobbies are somewhat similar to those of his distant relatives.

Although he has only been out for a while, he has already begun to miss his soft giant clam nest.

Before choosing the current small island to settle down, he traveled across the ocean to experience all the living environments suitable for sea snakes, and finally chose here.

After floating on the sea for a long time, he didn't even think about where he was going, so he simply dived into the sea, picked an ocean current at random, and let it take him across the ocean like a hitchhiker, wherever he wanted.

Ocean current, also known as ocean current, refers to the large-scale flow of seawater along a certain path in addition to the tidal movement caused by tidal force in the ocean.After the catastrophe, most of the ocean currents changed their original routes, which also caused sea turtles, for example, creatures that originally liked to use the ocean currents to travel to sea areas that they would not have gone to by accident. Caused the current situation of species distribution chaos.

If you follow the ocean current, you will never have to worry about not having enough food. The rivers that enter the sea bring rich nutrients and salts. The good environment makes plankton flourish, and there are countless fish that like to eat plankton. Carnivorous fish that eat humans chase them, forming a perfect food chain that keeps life flowing wherever the ocean currents pass.

The beauty snake was mixed in the ocean current. He didn't know the course of this ocean current, but years of experience still allowed him to immediately judge that it was a cold current flowing toward low latitudes after entering the ocean current—this made him not very sure. It is comfortable, but fortunately the temperature inside is not too low, anyway, he will not become stiff (cold-blooded animal) and unable to move when the temperature is low, at most he is just a little lazy.

But this is indeed a rare experience. The beauty snake thinks that she may try to choose the right ocean current. Go to Antarctica to see, there are no sea snakes there, and according to the "neighbors" who have been to Antarctica, the krill near the Antarctic It is very delicious, but unfortunately he has only heard of it but never actually eaten it.But the Pacific krill is also delicious, and the Antarctic krill should not be too bad.

While thinking about the delicacy of krill, the beauty snake swayed its tail, its seemingly lazy movements were unexpectedly quick, and it just passed through the sardine school in front of it at once, and even grabbed a moderately sized sardine, ready to serve as Evening supper.

The group of sardines didn't know what happened, but suddenly saw a terrifying figure in front of them, and immediately turned around in fright, and stopped following the ocean current.

Regardless of the schools of fish that were scared away when they found him, he grabbed his midnight snack, looked around and swam onto the back of a leatherback turtle that was twice his size, and sat comfortably on it for the turtle to carry. walk by yourself.

Sea turtles are not on the beauty snake’s food list, and often some shells, seaweeds and even small fish will attach to the turtle for travel, so for the beauty snake that suddenly appeared on its back, the leatherback turtle and its side The same kind of people also did not show any panic, and continued their journey at a leisurely pace.

The bony shell on the carapace of the leatherback turtle is inlaid by hundreds of small polygonal bone plates of irregular sizes, among which the largest bone plate forms 7 regular longitudinal ribs, so the place where the diaphragm is not suitable for sitting Or lie down, but there is no other choice now, and the beauty snake can only make do with it temporarily.

He took the fattest part from the sardine and stuffed it into his mouth, and he casually stuffed the rest of the fish meat to the leatherback turtle under him as a "fare". The beauty snake yawned and lay on the back of the turtle , ready to fall asleep.

The ocean is not peaceful all the time. This is a place where the weak and the strong survive. All creatures are constantly changing positions of prey and prey. No one can guarantee that they will always be at the top.

——Of course, our beautiful snake is an exception. Fortunately, he is not on the menu of any kind of creature, or no one who does not have long eyes dares to include him in the menu.

Sea turtles also need to rest, and they also need to surface for air every once in a while. Under the sea surface is a relatively soft belly, and this time is the most vulnerable to being attacked by other creatures.And in the sea area where they are now, there is a group of great white sharks, which are one of the most ferocious predators in the sea.

Great white sharks are out-and-out omnivores. They like to prey on seals, sea lions, and occasionally dolphins, whale carcasses and even other sharks, but they also devour many other things, such as sea otters, floating animals dead fish etc.Even some garbage made by humans, they will eat it.

And turtles are naturally on their menu.

Today, however, this group of leatherback turtles is lucky, because the great white sharks here already have their target prey.

When the leatherback turtles lazily took a breath and were about to continue on the road, the current in the sea not far away seemed to have happened.

Fish are the most sensitive to changes in currents. The beauty snakes were awakened by the sea breeze because they hitch a ride to the surface, and they have not yet re-entered the ocean current. Although they are a little sleepy at the moment, they have already Feel the change in the water flow.

Although it was night and the bottom of the sea was pitch black, for the beauty snake who was already used to such an environment, as long as there was a little light, it was enough for him to see the surrounding situation clearly.

Under the deep sea, there are ruins in that seabed, not the ruins of sunken ships, but the wreckage of various buildings. The wreckage of this seabed is sadly telling the sea creatures that this place was once a part of land.And in the current seabed, there are many, many places like this.

In the ruins here, several huge great white sharks nimbly shuttled among various abandoned buildings, chasing their prey.

This is a very common scene, such scenes can be seen everywhere in the sea.

But what the beauty snakes care about is the prey they are chasing.
