space fisherman

The crew looked in the direction pointed by Bao Chunyu.

There is really a 2-3 meter 'stick' stuck diagonally into the sea at a 45-degree angle.

The weirdest thing is that the 'stick' is still moving on the sea.

"Let me go, is this place so evil? Didn't we encounter something dirty?"

Ma Hua saw the moving 'stick' and shouted loudly.

At first, Ye Yuan was frightened by the stick, but when he saw the situation under the water clearly, he couldn't help but laugh.

I am still too young, and some things can easily be led astray by these guys.

So he said to Ma Hua angrily:

"You look like something dirty to me, that's a narwhal!"

Narwhal is also called ice whale, narwhal, and narwhal.

It is a species of the narwhal family, which has only one species.

They only live in Arctic waters, are extremely fast and elusive.

We also call it Ocean Unicorn.

And Ye Yuan and the others saw that the 'stick' sticking out of the water was actually the tooth of a narwhal.

The head of the narwhal is small and round, the beak is not obvious, the forehead is protruding, and it is slightly upturned in front of the mouth.

The neck moves freely, with some traces of neck wrinkles.

The pectoral fins are dark gray, small and broad, but short in length, and the ends of the pectoral fins are curved upward.

There is no dorsal fin, but there is a low fleshy ridge on the back half of the back.

The pattern on the back and sides is mottled. The color of the abdomen is lighter or white.

The central notch of the caudal fin is obvious, the leading edge of the caudal fin becomes more concave with age, and the trailing edge becomes more protruding with age.

When the male whale is one year old, the tooth on the left side will protrude and turn into a long tooth. This is the 'stick' that Ye Yuan and the others saw.

But the probability of a male whale having both teeth protruding is only 2‰.

Only a few people have ever seen a "double-tusked narwhal" in the wild.

According to some records, Blue Star has only found one female whale with double tusks so far.

All male whales have tusks on the left side. The extra tusks on the right side are usually shorter than those on the left side, and the spirals of both tusks are counterclockwise.

Almost most tusks erupt from the teeth on the left side of the upper jaw, with an average length of 2 meters and a maximum length of 3 meters.

The circumference of the base of a narwhal's tusk can reach 30 centimeters and its weight can reach 10 kilograms.

About 3% of female whales will grow a long, slender horn, rarely exceeding 1.2 meters in length.

An adult narwhal can grow to about 5 meters.

Weight is usually 800~1600kg

The narwhal plays a very important role in Western myths and legends.

It has appeared in many fantasy-themed movies.

This kind of whale is rarely spotted.

It can be said that Ye Yuan and the others had just entered the Bering Strait and were able to meet the rare narwhal.

Because of this alone, Ye Yuan felt that this trip was not in vain.

The narwhal also has a very interesting behavior.

That's if two narwhals get into an argument.

Then they will use their long tusks to fight.

The most interesting thing is that although their teeth are very sharp, they do not use their sharp teeth to pierce the bodies of their own kind.

They fight by knocking each other with their long teeth until one of them can't stand the pain anymore.

It can be said that the narwhal's tusk is a very expensive item.

In the Middle Ages, his teeth were sold as unicorn horns, and the price could reach the price of 10 quilts of the same weight of gold.

At that time, many people believed that grinding narwhal teeth into powder could have a curative effect.

There are even rumors that narwhal teeth can bring people back to life.

With this rumor, one can imagine what the fate of the narwhal will be like.

It can be said that such a legend is the main culprit that led to the large-scale hunting of narwhals.

And after people hunted narwhals.

Not only were his teeth cut off, but all the parts of his body that could be used were used to maximize the benefits.

Because whale oil is an important industrial raw material.

So the narwhal cannot avoid this fate.

In addition, the whale's meat and tail fin are edible.

The liver, ovaries, and quenching bodies under the brain can be used as medicine. In the face of such huge economic interests, the number of narwhals is decreasing day by day.

In addition, narwhals are naive. Not only are they picky about their food, but they also never change their migration route. This also gives whalers an opportunity to hunt them more conveniently.

As a result, narwhals are now in danger of extinction, but there is good news.

Currently, Blue Star has completely banned the trading of narwhal tusks.

"Narwhal? Why haven't I seen any introduction to this kind of whale?"

Ma Hua looked confused.

"I told you to watch less short videos and read more books. Do you think those short video hosts know everything?"

After saying that, Ye Yuan stopped talking nonsense with Ma Hua and hurriedly ran back to the cabin to get the drone he bought at a huge price.

Ye Yuan took out the drone, started it, and started aerial photography mode.

The reason why Ye Yuan prepared the drone was that when he discovered rare animals, he wanted to be able to record them with images.

Who knows when those rare animals will become extinct?

Being able to record some of them by myself can be regarded as making a small and insignificant contribution to humanity after Blue Star.

Controlling a drone, the photographer captured a scene of a narwhal swimming.

Through the screen of the mobile phone, not only Ye Yuan, but also the crew members surrounding him could clearly see the scene of the narwhal swimming.

"Boss, if your video is posted on the short video platform, it will definitely become popular!"

Ma Hua looked at the screen of Ye Yuan's phone and did not forget to give what he thought was a good suggestion.

"I made these just to make a record. I didn't make them just to gain attention for traffic!"

Ye Yuan stared at the screen and replied without raising his head.

The fishing boat followed the narwhal for a certain distance before Ye Yuan took back the drone.

The Royal Water changed its course and headed deeper.

After more than a day of sailing, Ye Yuan's fishing boat finally couldn't move forward.

The crew were all standing on the deck at the moment, looking at the ice floes that could be seen everywhere in front of them.

"Boss, you came here just to see the ice?"

Ma Hua had an expression that said, "Just let us see this." He looked at Ye Yuan in confusion.

"You know p. We have entered the Arctic Circle now.

Think about it, how many people can drive their own fishing boats around the Arctic Circle?

Just be content with what you have, if it weren’t for the captain, it’s hard to say whether we would have been able to visit the Arctic Circle once in our lives!”

No need for Ye Yuan to explain, Pei Fei, a person who usually doesn't like to talk much, has already given Ma Hua some popular science.

"Boss, look quickly, is there something on the ice over there?"

Wang Husheng is holding a telescope at the moment, so he can see further than others.

Ye Yuan possesses the super cheating device of perception.

So you can see very far distances on the sea without a telescope.
