Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Sea lion sculpture made from scrap
"Fish here!"
The breeder shouted, and the sea lions basking in the sun suddenly became energetic.
There are delicious!
Seeing the breeder walking to the island, a few sea lions also got into the water, swimming happily in the water.
Through the glass, Tang Xiaoxin saw the sea lion's fins swinging up and down, like paddling.
After a few swings, the fins were close to his side, the tail was flat, and the body was smooth and streamlined. With the help of the surplus power of the fins just now, he glided gracefully in the water for a certain distance.
Seeing that it was about to hit a rock, the sea lion raised its head slightly, and its tail swung.
Floated lightly, and brushed past the stone.
Sometimes he rotates his body in the water, turning sideways with a big loop, and his swimming posture is vigorous and agile.
When the breeder landed on the island, the sea lions also swam over.
A sea lion leaped out of the water, leaped lightly on a rock on the edge, supported its body with its fins, and watched the breeder sway from left to right, and could not wait to eat fish.
The breeder stretched out his hand, and the sea lion immediately pressed the tip of his nose obediently!
The breeder used a headset to explain to the tourists: "This is a daily health check! Take a look at their eyes, nose, and skin."
The sea lion was very cooperative, and the breeder threw two small fish from the small bucket to feed it.
Then blew the whistle and started behavior training.
"Come, shake hands!"
The sea lion raised one fin, placed it in the palm of the breeder, and then changed his hand.
"Good job!"
The breeder fed it two small fishes.
The tourists exclaimed: "Wow, so obedient!"
A child, holding the hand of his parents, looked at the sea lion and said loudly: "I want to play with the sea lion too!"
The sea lion ate the fish and uttered a rough cry of excitement.
Seeing how excited it was, the breeder touched his head to appease, and smiled: "Oh, eating fish is a beautiful thing."
After checking and training, start throwing fish in the water!
A sea lion leaped out suddenly, bit the fish, and fell back into the water with a "thump", splashing a large white spray, stirring the water up and down.
He emerged from the water, his head swaying from left to right, as if he was ready to go.
The breeder threw a fish towards Tang Xiaoxin and the others!
Suddenly, a sea lion swam quickly under the water, jumped out of the water to draw an arc, grabbed the fish and dived back into the water, with a graceful and quick posture.
Sometimes I saw the breeder stretched out his palm and jumped back to the shore, bumping the tip of his nose.
Tang Xiaoxin and the others opened their eyes wide and applauded!
After watching the sea lions eat fish, Qian Keke said, "It's almost noon. Let's have lunch? I'm hungry watching them eat fish!"
Tang Xiaoxin said: "Wait a minute, go and see that sculpture."
Next to the sea lion hall, there is a sculpture of a sea lion!
But unlike other sculptures, this sculpture is made of scrap metal and plastic.
The body was sprayed with black and white paint, and it was dirty, with the feeling of slum graffiti. The back was covered with colorful plastic sheets, which was eye-catching. There were several loops of fishing line around the neck, and a piece of skin on the face was exposed, revealing the underside. metal net.
The most eye-catching thing is its round black eyes, and the look is a little frightened, but it also seems to be wondering. I don't know why I was injured, and it makes me uncomfortable to look at it.
On the sign next to it, the headline asked: "When you mention the ocean, what do you think of?"
In Tang Xiaoxin's mind, various cute animals such as penguins, sea lions and dolphins suddenly appeared.
Qian Keke thought of the beautiful beach, the bright sunshine, the sea breeze, the waves beating, and the children building sand castles, walking barefoot on the sand and chasing, laughing and laughing.
"The ocean determines the hue of our planet, gives birth to life, and is home to countless creatures...
But did you know that 380 billion plastic bags and other packaging materials are used worldwide every year, and more than 8 million tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year. Today, plastic waste is threatening the health of ecosystems, marine animals and even humans. "
Both of them were shocked by this number, 8 million tons! ?
The beautiful beaches, sea breeze, laughing children, and cute marine animals that I just imagined in my mind are all turned into all kinds of plastic garbage, piled up on the shore, floating in the sea, mixed with animal corpses, and distributed. An unpleasant smell.
Plastic waste has become a huge threat to marine life and marine ecosystems!
Larger plastic products, such as bags, straws, plastic bottles, ropes, take-out packaging, and many things used in our daily lives, are called "big plastic garbage." In addition to making the beach messy, large plastics can also pose a threat to wildlife, such as being eaten or entangled.
Some plastics stay in the sea for a long time, they will be covered by algae and become food in the eyes of animals.
The parents of the albatross hopefully collected them and fed them to the children. It didn't take long for the chicks to die.
Dissecting the carcasses of whales and sea turtles, they found that their stomachs were all plastic.
A few years ago, there was a widely spread video. Some researchers found an abnormality in the nose of a sea turtle. At first they thought it was a parasite, but when it was half pulled out, it was actually a straw. During the process of pulling out the straw, the turtle had a bright red nosebleed, and it looked painful, struggling, and it took ten minutes to pull it out.
There are also sea lions that are entangled in fishing nets and can't get rid of them. The more they grow up, the tighter they are, and they are deeply entangled in the flesh. If there is no one to rescue them, they can only die chronically.
Plastics are difficult to degrade. When wandering in the sea, they will be abraded due to the effects of heat and cold, sun, waves, wind, sand and stone, and gradually become fragile and disintegrate into thousands of small particles. Microplastics.
The lethality of microplastics is no less than that of large plastic garbage, and they are easily eaten by organisms at the bottom of the food chain such as mussels and zooplankton. It cannot be digested, but can only accumulate in the body for a long time, and it will become seriously ill or even die Small marine organisms eat plastic, which will affect all organisms in the food chain, including humans.
Although the adverse effects on human health are still unclear, the effects on some organisms have been confirmed.
Microplastics can enter biological tissues and cause inflammation or damage. There are often chemical additives and various organic pollutants in microplastics. Once they accumulate to a certain extent, they can cause serious health problems, especially the endocrine system. Developmental and reproductive diseases.
Tang Xiaoxin looked terrifying!
The tourist next to him also had a heavy expression, shaking his head and sighing.
"Maybe we humans will be eliminated by ourselves."
"I hope everyone will raise awareness of environmental protection. This epidemic is bad enough."
"Hey, I can't get up if the board doesn't hit me."
"What can we do?"
