i have a small world

Chapter 1337 Dumbfounded (seeking subscription support!)

"Wow...!" There was a loud sound of waves, and then, a huge black shadow suddenly enveloped the fishing boat where Leng Xin, Xu Chang, and Xu Jie were on.

Although this figure is more than 100 meters away from Leng Xin and the others, it is still enough for Leng Xin and the others to see clearly everything about this huge figure.

This huge figure is about 25 meters long and about four or five meters wide. The color of its body is the color of the ocean. Therefore, the concealment function of these sand tiger sharks in the ocean just now is very strong. If it were not for the sand tiger The shark had just jumped out of the sea, and Leng Xin and the others didn't know that the sand tiger shark in the secret world of martial arts would be so big.

In addition to these, the sand tiger shark's body is even more mottled. This is the medal of the sand tiger shark, the medal of fighting.

Looking at the wounds on the Sand Tiger Shark, Leng Xin, Xu Chang, and Xu Jie knew very well that this Sand Tiger Shark had experienced many battles, and a Sand Tiger Shark that survived such a brutal battle What kind of strength the shark will have, Leng Xin, Houzi, Xu Chang, and Xu Jie all looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they all saw shock.

"After seeing the huge figure of the sand tiger shark, Leng Xin, Xu Chang, and Xu Jie's eyes almost popped out. The size of this sand tiger shark is also too big, beyond their imagination.

However, soon, Leng Xin, Xu Chang, and Xu Jie were relieved. This is a martial arts secret environment. Growing in such a magical place, it is understandable that the originally small sand tiger shark has grown into such a huge one. .

Even the beasts in the forest in the Yushi District are smaller than their counterparts on the earth.Also much bigger.The best example is those pheasants, ducks, and hares.

Their volume in the martial arts secret environment is three or four times larger than that on the earth, and.The resistance of these wild animals is several times stronger than that of the same kind on the earth. If you are not careful, you will really be hurt by these wild animals!

"Brother, we are now..." Xu Jie couldn't continue, but there was shock in his eyes.And that look of pain, Xu Chang saw it clearly, Xu Chang knew it.This is because Xiaojie is now frightened by the huge body of the sand tiger shark, and Xiaojie has lost the belief in survival.

"Xiaojie, don't be scared by the sand tiger shark. We are the sons of fishermen. We grew up in the storm. Think about the powerful storm we encountered when we were five years old when we went fishing with our father. At that time, half of our fishing boats were submerged in the sea, but we still did not return home safely.

We haven't been caught in a dozen storms, even after we've grown up, but.We ended up going home safely.We've all been through so many storms of that magnitude and despair.Now it's just a slightly larger sand tiger shark, Xiaojie, are you afraid? !

Xiaojie, if just a sand tiger shark knocks you down, are you still worthy of being the son of a fisherman and the son of the sea?

Xiaojie, we are the sons of the sea, no matter how dangerous things are, we will not be afraid, Xiaojie, show our confidence in fighting the storm, we will definitely be able to go back. "

The experience of fighting against the storm for a long time has tempered Xu Chang's strong heart, so even if the danger they encounter now exceeds their imagination, Xu Chang still does not fall, and he is still giving Xu Jie encouragement.

After hearing Xu Chang's words, Xu Jie quickly recalled the dozen or so storms he had experienced since he was a child. The power of those storms was much stronger than the power of the current sand tiger shark.

Facing such a powerful storm, I was able to escape safely, but now I just want to give up when I face some sand tiger sharks, I am really..., Thinking of this, Xu Jie began to secretly despise himself in his heart Just timid.

"Brother, you're right. I can fight against such a powerful storm. Now it's just some sand tiger sharks. I won't be afraid. Brother, let's go home safely!"

Xu Jie stretched out his right hand to Xu Chang confidently, and he defeated the inner demon called 'fear' in his heart.Seeing the confidence on Xu Jie's face, Xu Chang also showed a smile on his face, that confident younger brother came back again.

"Okay, Xiaojie, let's go home safely together." Xu Chang slapped Xu Jie's right hand lightly with his right hand, and then he held Xu Jie's right hand tightly. The brothers' eyes were full of fighting spirit!

...............................................................................................................

"This..., this... isn't that too exaggerated, brother, I'm not dreaming!" The monkey also had a face full of confidence, and he even directly bit his right hand heavily: "Oh... !"

The severe pain clearly told the monkey that what he saw was the truth, not what he was dreaming. "Brother, are the fish we just prepared enough? I don't think the fish we prepared are enough for this sand tiger shark to swallow in one gulp. In this case, our calculation just now has not come to nothing."

"Hmph...!" Monkey's words made Leng Xin feel toothache, and the muscles on his face even twitched a few times.

However, soon, these gaffes on Leng Xin's face disappeared. As the boss, Leng Xin didn't want to lose his composure in front of his younger brother. Demeanor!

"I didn't expect the size of these sand tiger sharks to be so big. We really miscalculated this time. I thought these sand tiger sharks would be as big as the sand tiger sharks on the earth. The sand tiger shark in the martial arts environment is actually so big, this... this..., this is simply a combination of a sand tiger shark and a whale shark, we really shouldn't underestimate any creature that lives in the martial arts secret environment." When he said this, Leng Xin's face was full of helplessness.

When the sand tiger sharks approached the fishing boat just now, they did not show their figure at all.These sand tiger sharks only expose their dorsal fins on the sea surface, and their bodies are hidden under the sea water. In addition, the skin of these sand tiger sharks is ocean color.Once the sand tiger shark is hidden in the ocean, the protective color well hides the huge size of the sand tiger shark.

The monkey can judge that these sharks are sand tiger sharks, relying on the unique dorsal fin of the sand tiger shark. Therefore, the amount of fish bait prepared by the monkey and Leng Xin is also calculated according to the volume of the sand tiger sharks on the earth. ,but.Now their meticulous preparation can be said to be a complete failure.

Leng Xin and Houzi couldn't have imagined that these sand tiger sharks would be so huge after they really revealed their figures.Such a volume is comparable to the whale shark, which is the largest shark on the earth, and the sand tiger shark is as huge as the whale shark.Thinking of this situation, Leng Xin and Houzi had wry smiles on their faces.

Whale shark (scientific name: ypus).Also known as whale shark, tofu shark, big Han shark.It belongs to the family of cartilaginous fishes called baleen sharks and is the largest shark in the world.So far, the largest size actually recorded by biologists is 21 meters long and 21.50 tons in weight. Other reports of larger individuals have not been confirmed.

The whale shark is the only member of the whale shark family (es) and the genus of the whale shark. Biologists believe that this shark appeared about 6000 million years ago.

Whale sharks live in tropical and temperate waters and can live up to 70 to 100 years.Although whale sharks have very wide mouths.However, they are actually a filter feeder, mainly preying on small animals and plants (including plankton).But the BBC's nature documentary "Planet Earth" once filmed a whale shark eating a school of small fish.

Biologists first identified whale sharks in April 1828 from an individual caught in Table Bay, South Africa.Anzulu Smith (h), a British military surgeon in Cape Town, further characterized the whale shark the following year, before publishing more details about the whale shark in 4.

The name "whale shark" comes from fish biology, which means that whale sharks are as large as whales and that they, like many whales, are filter feeders.

Whale shark body is elongated and thick, with two prominent skin ridges on each side; eyes are small, without nictitating membrane; mouth is huge with upper and lower lip folds; teeth are small and many, conical; water spray holes are small, located behind the eyes; carp holes 5 , wide; gill rakers are horny, divided into many small branches, forming a filter port shape; 2 dorsal fins, the second dorsal fin is opposite to the arm fin; the pectoral fin is wide; the caudal fin is forked; the body is grayish brown or greenish brown, with many yellow spots and vertical transverse fins pattern.

The body is cylindrical or slightly flattened longitudinally; the side ridges are obvious; the head is flat and broad; the snout is short; lateral; the gill slit is very large, with a unique filtering structure, including a thin plate that traverses each gill slit, and the gill arc has a Many horny rakes, divided into many branchlets, intersect to form a spongy filter.Mouth very large, anterior, transverse; corners of mouth with labial folds; no oronasal groove.

The whale shark may be the shark with the largest number of teeth. Its mouth is like a huge filter. There are thousands of tiny, hook-shaped teeth in its mouth. 2 rows, arranged in the upper and lower jaws.

These teeth are replaced at least twice a year.So if the lifespan of the whale shark is equal to that of humans, it can really be called the animal with the most teeth, but whether it really uses so many teeth is still a mystery.

Shark teeth are regularly and loosely embedded in muscle fibers that act as gums.During the process of new and old replacement, the old teeth will continue to bleed and be replaced by new teeth.

The upper and lower jaws of whale sharks each have as many as 300 teeth of the same type, and the tiny teeth have only one small cusp.

Existing whale shark tooth fossils have been found in the Oligocene strata of South Carolina, the Miocene strata of Lancey and North Carolina, and the Miocene to Pliocene strata of Maryland and Virginia.

In 2001, Purdyal also found tooth fossils of a similar species of whale shark in the Pungoriver sedimentary layer, and the fossils belonged to the Miocene period.The tooth fossil is very small, only 6 mm high, the tooth side is strong below, and the upper crown is slender.

The lingual surface of the crown is perpendicular to the base of the root, the tip is smooth and long with serrations, and the tip extends backward and downward.The root is bifid, the elongated root is laterally compressed, and there are obvious nutrient pores.The upper part of the tooth root is covered with obvious enamel. The tooth fossil of this whale shark-like species ypus is basically not much different from the existing whale shark tooth fossils.

Few marine creatures live as long as the whale shark. Even the megalodon, which dominated the early Miocene to the middle Pliocene, did not live as long as the whale shark.

Whale sharks have endured constant threats from the Oligocene porsharks, other predatory sharks, sperm whales, and later black whales, and also face competition from new baleen whales (cetotheres) and other baleen whales , but most of these sea monsters have been wiped out by time, only the whale shark still stands tall and alone.

The first dorsal fin of the whale shark is much larger than the second dorsal fin; the pectoral fin is extra large and slightly narrower in the shape of a sickle; the anal fin is the same size as the second dorsal fin.The base is also opposite; the caudal fin is forked, and the upper fork is almost twice as long as the lower fork.The body is taupe to blue-brown, with many white spots and horizontal stripes scattered on the side of the body, and these stripes are arranged in a checkerboard shape.

Whale sharks live in the middle and upper layers of the warm oceanic sea area and are mild in nature.Do not attack people.Whale sharks swim slowly and often bask on the surface of the water.Feeds on plankton, crustaceans, molluscs and small fish, and eats little.

Scientists realized.Whale sharks are not slow-moving animals, as was previously thought, in fact they do a quick dive down like a hawk swooping down from a high altitude.Dive into deep water.

In the donsal area of ​​the Filipino maid country.It is a world-famous whale shark viewing area. From March to May every year, there are a large number of wild whale sharks. You can take a local crab boat to snorkel and watch.

In addition, there are three adult whale sharks in the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan, which is known as the largest aquarium in Asia.

Whale sharks feed on plankton, giant algae, krill and small free-swimming animals such as small squid and vertebrates.Their teeth are not for foraging purposes, in fact they are not large in size.Instead: The whale shark takes a gulp of water and closes its mouth.Water is then drained from the gills.During the brief period between mouth closing and gill cover opening, plankton are trapped by the dermal denticles that line the gills and throat.

This filter-like organ is a unique variation of gill rakers.Any object larger than 2 to 3 mm can be prevented from passing through, the liquid will be expelled, and any object blocked by the filter organ between the gills will be swallowed by the whale shark.

Whale sharks have been observed to "cough", presumably as a way of clearing food that has accumulated in their gill rakers.

Whale sharks congregate on reefs off the Caribbean coast of Belize to feed on the eggs of giant Brazilian snappers, which appear between the full and crescent moons in May, June and July.

Whale sharks are active filter feeders, using their sense of smell to attack targets such as plankton or fish.Whale sharks do not need to swim forward when foraging, they are often observed bobbing up and down to suck in water and expel it to get food.

It's the complete opposite of basking sharks, which are gentle filter feeders and don't suck in seawater. They swim to force water through their gills. The BBC's nature documentary "Planet Earth" once filmed one eating small fish class of whale sharks.

Although the whale shark has a huge body, it will not cause major harm to humans.They are often used by scientists to educate the general public that not all sharks "eat people".

In fact, the personality of the whale shark is quite gentle, and it will also play with divers.

There is an unconfirmed report that whale sharks will remain still and turn their bodies upside down to allow divers to clean their abdomens of parasites.

Divers can swim with the giant fish without any danger, other than being inadvertently hit by the whale shark's massive tail fin.

Whale sharks have few natural predators, and human fishing is one reason for their decline.Whale sharks are a target of the aquaculture industry in several areas where they gather seasonally.

Southeast Asia, especially the Bay of Treasure Island, is the main fishing area for whale sharks. The caught whale sharks mainly eat their meat, and sometimes their fins are cut off to make shark fins.Although it is not a fishing target in other places, it is also accidentally caught and is an endangered species.

菲佣国在1998年禁止了所有关于鲸鲨的商业猎捕、贩卖、输入与输出活动，阿三国则在2001年5月禁止，从2003年开始，宝岛将鲸鲨的捕捞数量限制在每年80尾。从2008年1月1日之后，则开始全面禁止这类商业活动。

In the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IU), whale sharks are classified as vulnerable (uv) and have already stepped into the threshold of threatened (threatened). There are also familiar species such as cheetah, white-eared pheasant, white-lipped deer, Sichuan golden monkey, mandarin duck, cygnet, and great bustard. Most of these species belong to the national first-level or second-level protected animals. The status quo also needs protection from the national administrative power to avoid further deterioration of the threatened situation of this species.

In addition, according to the data on the Washington Convention (cetis) website, whale sharks belong to the species listed in Appendix II of the Convention, and the Convention stipulates that the species listed in Appendix II need to control their international trade to avoid affecting their existence.

The Chinese translation of the Washington Convention, which can be found on the State Forestry Administration website, does not obligate parties to control domestic trade in species listed in the appendix. (To be continued..)
