The thing that appeared in the live broadcast room cannot be said to be good-looking, it can be said to be ugly to a certain extent.

But as the saying goes, when an animal reaches a certain level of ugliness, it will look a bit ugly and cute.

As this one appeared, ugly things appeared one after another on the surrounding ice.

Just leave the task of retracting to Shen Nan and the sailors. Wen Wanwan stood on the deck and held up a camera to conduct science popularization to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The ugly thing in front of us is the famous walrus, and some people who like them call it a cylinder."

"The walrus has a huge body, thick and wrinkled skin, small eyes, poor eyesight, two long tusks, and its limbs are reduced to fin-like shapes, with only the rear flippers and feet bent forward."

"Usually when this guy comes ashore, this is what everyone sees. He uses the combined effect of his fangs to pierce the ice and crawls forward on the ice."

"Some animals look fat, but in fact they are puffy, but the walrus is really fat."

"In order to withstand the cold Arctic weather, they will accumulate a large amount of fat under the skin. A bear is about [-] to [-] meters long, but can weigh [-] to [-] kilograms."

"The female animal is smaller, but its body length can reach [-] to [-] meters, and its weight can reach [-] to [-] kilograms."

With Wen Wanwan's introduction, the audience in the live broadcast room looked at the group of walruses again and their eyes changed.

This is not a unique Arctic animal. It is clearly an old sow raised by grandma!
As more and more walruses appeared on the sea, several strange types soon appeared.

The most eye-catching ones are the one whose whole body is brownish red and the one whose whole body is pale white.

Seeing the question marks floating in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan also opened his mouth to explain the reason for this situation.

"Walruses are very strange creatures. Their skin thickness can reach [-] to [-] centimeters, and their subcutaneous fat can reach [-] to [-] centimeters."

"The naked, hairless body surface is generally gray-brown or yellowish-brown, but there are often some wonderful changes."

"After being immersed in cold seawater for a period of time, in order to reduce energy consumption, the arteries and blood vessels will shrink, and the blood flow will be restricted, and it will turn into the pale white color that everyone sees."

"And when we get to the shore, the blood vessels will begin to expand due to changes in temperature, and they will turn this brown-red color again."

While talking, Wen Wanwan turned the camera to a huge ice layer, with dozens of brown-red walruses lying on it, looking like a huge carpet.

"Walruses are amphibians. Their daily activities and feeding are completed in the sea, but when they need to rest at night, they will come to the shore in groups."

"Even though this guy is fat and stupid, this evolution is for easier activities in sea water."

“Relying on their streamlined bodies, well-developed muscles and powerful flippers, they can reach speeds of 24 kilometers per hour in the sea, dive to depths below 70 meters, and can complete various activities such as feeding, courtship, and mating. .”

Daidoji Tomoyo-chan: [Although it’s a bit ugly, it’s really fun! 】

Good student of the new era: [Hahaha, it’s really fat! 】

It’s Xixi: [There are so many teeth, why do they make your eyes dazzle? 】

Wen Wanwan glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and then walked towards the cabin.Stepping into the large pool on the first floor, the sailor was trying to comfort a walrus and quickly sent the next walrus into the pool.

Wen Wanwan dug out the cut octopus from the food storage area, then sat aside and adjusted the camera.

After casually flicking the tusks of the walrus that came closer, Wen Wanwan began to place the octopus in front of them.

"Walruses don't actually rely on their tusks to eat. These two things are more for them to help them move on the shore."

"Most walruses have little interest in fish. Their main food is usually lamellibranch molluscs, and they also prey on squid, shrimp, crabs and worms."

"If they encounter any land creatures that they are interested in, the walrus will hug them tightly with its two forelimbs, and then drag them to the sea water 70 meters below to drown."

Wen Wanwan's mental energy began to radiate around the pool, and the walrus, which was originally a little afraid of coming to a strange place, suddenly became quiet.

Looking at the walrus moving towards her quickly, Wen Wanwan poured the octopus in the bucket aside and watched them eating hard with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"As one of the representatives of large bodies, the reproductive capacity of walruses is not much different from that of most large animals."

"Female animals can only give birth to one baby every three years, with a gestation period of eleven to thirteen months, and each baby has only one cub."

"Judging from the time, walruses usually give birth from April to June, which means that if we are lucky, we may be able to see the cubs today."

Wen Wanwan's expectation did not last long. As walruses were delivered to the pool one after another, Gui Miao soon rode a motorboat and dragged several cubs in.

Compared with the ugly and cute appearance of adult walruses, baby walruses are relatively much more fun.

In the first few weeks after this little guy was born, he had a layer of light yellow fur all over his body, and he was not that fat, just like a puppy waiting to be fed.

With the appearance of these cubs, the walruses that had just been comforted quickly moved towards the pupae at the edge of the pool.

"Walrus females and their cubs are extremely attached. If their cubs are in danger, the female will go to the rescue, even attack ships, or fight with ferocious polar bears."

"Usually, the cubs will live with the female for close to two years, and they will not leave even after weaning. Instead, they will not leave until their body length exceeds [-] meters and their weight exceeds [-] kilograms."

Wen Wanwan placed a cub by the pool with force and fed it a shell.

Don't think it's easy for Wen Wanwan to drag the cub. In fact, the little guy is almost one meter long and weighs fifty or sixty kilograms.

If you don't have any strength, you probably won't be able to hold this little thing.

After the cubs found their mother, the pool, which had been noisy for a while, became much quieter again. Each walrus was eating hard to replenish the fat reserves in its body.

Wen Wanwan touched the down on the little guy and made a rough estimate of how many they wanted to reproduce stably in the aquarium.

Based on population estimates, it would take at least two populations of more than 20 individuals to prevent inbreeding in [-] years. (End of chapter)
