Chapter 102:
Chen Xing remembered what David had said inadvertently a few days ago, and now he looked at the adult sea otter swimming skillfully in the pool, and seemed to have guessed the answer.
Could this adult sea otter be the sea otter mother the center helped him find!
Chen Xing thought so, and paid more and more attention to the adult sea otter beside him. He lay on the platform and focused on the movements of this adult species.
The adult sea otter has been swimming in the water since it entered the pool. The staff has put shellfish, crabs, abalone and other sea otter's daily food in the pool in advance, so this sea otter has been looking for food in the water.
When the adult sea otter finally emerged from the water and did not go down, it meant that it had found food in the pool and brought it to the surface to prepare to eat.
Chen Xing and the audience in the live broadcast room watched the adult sea otter pull out a hard rock from his armpit and put it on his chest, then firmly grasped the shell he had just caught from the bottom of the pool, and slammed it towards him. The stone in the chest smashed in the past.
"Click! Click!"
The adult sea otter smashed it again and again, and the shell finally could not withstand the hard stone, and successfully smashed a crack, and then the crack became bigger and bigger, revealing the soft and tender shell meat inside.
The adult sea otter threw away the smashed shell, held the soft shell meat with both hands and ate it into his mouth with a satisfied face.
A piece of shell meat is eaten into the stomach, and the adult sea otter puts the stone on the chest back into the small skin pocket under the armpit again, and swims smartly into the pool with a swish, continuing to search for food under the pool, trying to fill its stomach.
【Wow, is this how sea otters hunt? This is simply too clever to even use tools to open the hard shell of food! 】
[When I smashed things just now, I was so cute, and I was very serious! 】
[Where did that stone hide from, why did it suddenly disappear, there is no pocket on it! 】
[Hey, hey, will the stars be so cute in the future, I really look forward to it! 】
The audience who saw the sea otter for the first time were already dumbfounded after the scene just now, and Chen Xing, who was lying on the platform beside him, was also dumbfounded.
Although I have seen one or two documentaries about sea otters before, this time I watched the sea otters use tools to destroy the outer shell of the food, and finally managed to eat the soft inside of the food. Chen Xing still felt that no one could bear to look away. .
When sea otters "work" seriously, they look even cuter!
After that, the adult sea otter caught a few more crabs and shellfish, and continued to repeat the lovely action of "breaking a big stone in the chest", and successfully ate all the food into its stomach.
Whether it is the audience in the live broadcast room or Chen Xing himself, they are not tired of the actions of this adult sea otter at all, they will only become more and more addicted to it, with obsession in their eyes.
Finally, the speed of the adult sea otter's foraging action gradually slowed down, and it began to lie on its back and float freely on the water to rest.
Chen Xing, who had been lying on the platform just now, continued to watch for a while, and finally no longer hesitated, jumped into the water, and made a plop.
The adult sea otter lying on its back heard the sound and glanced in the direction of the sound of the water.
The adult sea otter then saw a sea otter pup hunched over and slowly swam in its direction.
The adult sea otter did not move, looked at Chen Xing, then retracted his eyes, and continued to rest. From time to time, his two small claws rubbed the hair on his head to keep the hair neat and tidy, and he looked very clean.
The adult sea otter did not avoid Chen Xing, and Chen Xing continued to swim slowly towards the other side.
Although Chen Xing can swim, it is now the body of a sea otter cub instead of a human. At this time, he can only swing his short limbs as much as possible, and use the webs of his hind limbs to slowly slide the water surface, bending forward like a caterpillar. Only then did he swim slowly on the water, gradually approaching the adult sea otter who was "rubbing incense" in front of him.
Finally, Chen Xing touched the body of the adult sea otter and moved to the other side.
"嘤嘤嘤!" Chen Xing made a small milky sound, trying to seduce the adult sea otter and arouse the other's motherhood.
If Chen Xing had guessed correctly the intention of the breeder David today, the adult sea otter beside him must be a female.
Hearing the voice of the little sea otter, the adult sea otter who had been grooming his hair finally took the time to look at the little sea otter beside him, but after a while he looked back and continued to groom his hair, ignoring the little sea otter.
"嘤嘤嘤!" Unexpectedly, the adult sea otter reacted this way, so Chen Xing had to continue calling out to the adult sea otter beside him.
Anyway, he has been fed every day under the feeding of the breeder these days, and he has strength all over his body, so it is no problem to call a few more times at this time.
Chen Xing shouted while looking at the raised belly of the adult sea otter.
In the few documentaries about sea otters that Chen Xing has watched, the sea otter cubs have been inseparable on the soft and warm belly of the sea otter mother.
At this time, Chen Xing also wanted to lie in the arms of the mother sea otter, like the documentary, and try the feeling of being protected by the mother sea otter.
If the adult female sea otter beside him is willing to be his surrogate mother.
Chen Xing continued to cry and pretend to be pitiful, but the adult sea otter beside him was still combing his hair and "rubbing fragrance", never giving Chen Xing a look, unmoved.
[Wow, it's so cold, the stars are so cute, they don't even care. 】
[Hey, after all, people are so cute themselves, and they have strong resistance! 】
[Although it ignores the stars, I still can't bear to be angry with it, who made it so cute! 】
After calling for a long time, it didn't work. Chen Xing felt helpless, but it was impossible to be angry with the other party.
As the audience in the live broadcast room said, the other party is so cute, who is willing to be angry with it?
Chen Xing simply circled around the adult sea otter. After a few laps, the other party still ignored him. He was attracted by the green bionic sea algae on the side. The adult sea otter still ignored him, and he simply got into the kelp group. play in.
Chen Xing walked around in the kelp group, learning from the pictures of the documentary in his memory, and took the initiative to wrap the seaweed around himself.
Sea otters are social animals, because they live on the sea all the time, the sea level is fluctuating, and there are often storms. If there is no measure, the sea otters are easy to be separated. Therefore, in order to prevent separation, the sea otters living in the seaweed area will Using the long seaweed as a rope, tying itself to the seaweed to fix the position, and sometimes even holding hands with the same kind to prevent it from being washed away.
It's also a very cute behavior.
At this moment, Chen Xing is trying to reproduce one of the special life habits of sea otters seen in the documentary. The bionic seaweed straps are wrapped around him one by one.
[Xingxing is so cute, she even uses this kind of strap to tie herself up, she is still young, she wants to play with anything she sees! 】
[How can such a childish behavior still look so cute? 】
Just as Chen Xing was playing with bionic seaweed, David, who had been away for a long time, finally reappeared by the pool and opened the pool door.
David also has a long-handled fishing net in his hand. The basket is large enough to fit an adult sea otter. It is a common tool used by the center to catch sea otters.
David opened the pool door and immediately looked into the pool to observe how the baby sea otter and the adult sea otter were getting along today.
When David looked up, he saw that the adult sea otter was floating on the water to take care of its hair, while the young sea otter was hiding in the bionic seaweed group and was wrapped around the body by the seaweed belt. Yes, and it looks like he's having fun.
Although the baby sea otter and the adult sea otter were not in close contact at this time, David saw that they did not reject each other, and there was no accident such as fighting. He was very calm and did not feel dissatisfied.
Chen Xing's guess was right, this adult sea otter was indeed the surrogate mother that David carefully selected for his little sea otter.
The adult sea otter cannot be separated from the mother sea otter, and the staff of the center should not interfere too much with the growth process of the baby sea otter, so as to avoid the baby sea otter being overly dependent on humans when it is time to release in the future. Therefore, after many experiments at the base, It started as a substitute mother.
The adult sea otter thrown into the pool together with Chen Xing this time is a female named Daisy, and she is also the heroic mother in the base. She has raised double-digit sea otter cubs on her behalf, with a docile personality. She is very tolerant, and no other cubs are being raised by her at this time.
So David chose Daisy as Chen Xing's adoptive mother. Today is also the first time for two sea otters to get along with each other alone, cultivate and cultivate their relationship, and let them get to know each other and accept each other as soon as possible.
As long as Chen Xing, the little sea otter, has the care of his mother who raised the sea otter, the subsequent growth process will be much easier.
Today's result was within David's expectations. Neither the little sea otter nor Daisy was very repulsive to each other, although it would take time to fully accept each other.
The time has come, the little sea otter should drink milk next, and the wet hair on his body needs to be dried with a dry towel. David salvaged Chen Xing from the pool with the salvage net on his hand, and put it in an empty space. in the air box, and transferred back to the original room.
