"Extraordinary Lawyer Yu Ying-jeong" Stills
"Extraordinary Lawyer Yu Ying-jeong" Episode 4, the heroine Yu Ying-jeong said to Li Junhao: "For whales, the aquarium is a prison. They are locked in a small sink, Only eat frozen fish. Forced to perform repeatedly throughout the year, that is slavery. The average lifespan of dolphins can reach 40 years, but they can only live at most 4 years in an aquarium. You know they bear it How much mental stress is there? "
According to statistics, from 2009 to 2021, a total of 37 dolphins died in 8 aquariums across South Korea. With the popularity of the Korean drama "Extreme Lawyer Yu Ying-hung", while people are learning about autistic patients, they also focus on whales with cute appearance and a wide variety. We also learn that these bring us joy. Beautiful animals, but behind them are unknown sufferings. As a result, more and more people joined the ranks of calling for the formulation of a series of measures to protect whales. It is understood that the South Korean Ministry of Marine and Fisheries has begun planning to send two beluga whales to the marine rest area under construction by the Canadian government in the second half of next year. In the future, it will also establish marine rest areas in its own country to put the bottlenose dolphins back to the sea.
For us, only by better understanding of whales can we learn to protect them. The latest masterpiece "Whale Browse", an American popular science writer Kelsey Osede, , is not only a popular science book that comprehensively shows the evolution and development of the cetacean family, but also a soul that guides us to think about the relationship between humans and cetaceans. books.
Author Kelsey Osede combines his painting skills and marine animal knowledge to vividly depict the different appearances of cetaceans, allowing us to have an in-depth understanding of whales, dolphins, porpoises and other cetaceans. Past and present lives. 's book "Whale Mirror" is not only suitable for adult reading, to expand one's knowledge and enhance the awareness of protecting the ocean; it is also suitable for parent-child reading, which enhances parent-child relationships while satisfying children's curiosity about whales.
peeled off
As mammalian cetaceans sometimes swim in groups to places near the coast or shallows, and they will rub sandy or pebbly surfaces with their bodies. According to records, beluga whales living in the Arctic will travel together, traveling thousands of meters long distances to find a particularly suitable pebble freshwater estuary, and then rubbing together to clean themselves and remove dead skin from their bodies.
If the action of group skinning is a conscious behavior of cetaceans, then the action of group stranding is a "unconscious" behavior of cetaceans. Marine experts pointed out that the reasons for the stranding of individual cetaceans or groups are not fully understood, which may be related to weather, diseases, magnetic field effects, etc., or may be related to areas that humans have not yet explored.
Ocean Behemoth
According to statistics, blue whale is the largest modern whale. Its body length can be nearly 30 meters . It is not only the largest animal at present, but also considered by ocean scholars to be the largest ever on earth on earth The animals are even larger than the extinct creeping dragon (about 23 meters long). When studying early cetacean fossils, oceanographers found that the earliest animals related to cetaceans had hind legs. As they became more and more adapted to aquatic life, their hind limbs evolved into fins. From a taxonomy point of view, cetaceans should be classified as ottohounds, and the hippos we are familiar with are the animals closest to modern cetaceans.
is worrying about the future
In 2006, scientists conducted a six-week search survey on the Yangtze River, but found nothing. In the end, they had to announce that the only species under the family Piglandaceae - Piglandia has functionally extinct . Oceanologists have not yet recovered from the grief of the demise of the White Pigpie, and have to start protecting another endangered cetacean, the little rat porpoise. According to statistics, as of 2017, the little head that was illegally fished There are only about 30 rat porpoises left.
At present, cetaceans face not only environmental pollution such as chemical and noise, but also suffer from raging killing and captivity by humans.In order to better protect cetaceans and to protect the environment on which we rely on, we must take action to let more people understand the current situation of cetaceans and call on more people to join the ranks of protecting marine animals. Don’t abandon, don’t give up, and work hard to build a common home for each other—the earth.
