Chapter 105:
Chen Xing, who was floating on the water, swam for a while, and finally felt a little boring. Across the fluctuating water surface, he vaguely saw the black figure of Daisy diving into the water.
Then, Chen Xing took a deep breath and buried his head in the water, trying to dive down, learning how to reach the bottom of the pool as easily as Daisy, trying to grab the food at the bottom of the pool into his claws.
Although sea otters are mammals, they are very good at living in water. Adult sea otters can hold their breath for three to five minutes at a time.
Of course, Chen Xing was still underage at this time, and it was the first time he tried to dive, so the effect was naturally greatly reduced, and he couldn't even hold on for a minute.
After working hard for ten seconds, Chen Xing couldn't help but lean out of the water and took a deep breath of air.
At this time, Daisy was still diving in the water to find food, and did not surface at all.
Moreover, in addition to the short breath-holding time, Chen Xing also found that when he tried to dive just now, he was always unable to dive too deep into the water, and his body always floated up uncontrollably.
In addition to his own immature diving skills, I am afraid it is also related to the thick layer of fluff on Chen Xing's body.
The buoyancy of the fluff on the cub is stronger than that of the adult sea otter. After Chen Xing removes the thick layer of fluff after a while, I am afraid that the diving depth will be much improved.
Of course, Chen Xing himself can't forget to practice the skills that he should have to learn diving.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing took a deep breath again and plunged into the water.
After about ten seconds, Chen Xing emerged from the water to breathe again.
After a little rest, Chen Xing quickly dived into the water to continue swimming.
After another ten seconds, Chen Xing emerged from the water and shook the water beads on his head.
Just after Chen Xing repeated the training several times, Daisy, who had just dived into the water to find food, finally emerged from the water with the food in her hand. Instead of eating directly, she quickly swam to Chen Xing's side.
Seeing Daisy coming, Chen Xing did not continue to practice in the water. He stayed where he was and watched Daisy's next movements, and waited for the other party to give him some food later.
Although Daisy and Chen Xing are not related by blood, and it took several days for the two sides to accept each other, but since Daisy completely accepted Chen Xing as her adopted son, she also sincerely regards Chen Xing as her. children to care for.
Today, many of the food Daisy gets from the pool goes directly into Chen Xing's stomach, which is why Chen Xing has grown so fast these days.
Daisy's side continues to supply food, David's side has plenty of milk, and solid food as complementary food, it's no wonder that Chen Xing grows fast!
Fortunately, the keeper had put a lot of food in the pool in advance, enough for two adult sea otters to eat all day, so even though a lot of food entered Chen Xing's stomach, Daisy herself was not hungry.
Seeing Chen Xing staring at her so obediently, Daisy turned her head back in satisfaction, and then took out the most handy stone tool she had used for a long time from the small pocket under her arm, and put it on her belly. Then, he skillfully held the clams he had just picked up from the bottom of the pool and smashed them at the rocks. The gaps in the clams gradually revealed the tender white meat inside.
No matter how hard the clams were, they were still no match for Daisy's survival skills. In the end, the plump clam meat was successfully taken out by Daisy and handed directly to Chen Xing, who was on the side.
Chen Xing, who had been watching Daisy using tools to process food just now, took the clam and put it to his mouth and bit it with his teeth.
[After watching it so many times, I still think the picture of Daisy using tools is very magical. If they are given enough time to evolve, will they become civilized like humans? 】
【Zi Liu! I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry! 】
[Daisy is really good to Xingxing, no wonder the breeder chose her to be Xingxing's adoptive mother! 】
The weather is very good today, and the sun is very warm. Even in this open-air pool, Chen Xing doesn't feel that the pool is too cold.
In the pool, except for the green bionic seaweed belt in the corner and the white platform in the center of the pool, there was only a black-gray figure floating on the water.
If you take a closer look, you will find that a black little sea otter is lying on the black figure floating with the current.
Chen Xing is getting bigger and bigger now, and even just a few days ago, the fluffy gray-yellow fluff on his body finally fell off, and his body shape is almost close to Daisy, an adult sea otter.
But even so, Daisy is still very fond of Chen Xing's adopted son, and she is still willing to let Chen Xing lie on her belly, not at all disgusting that the adopted son's weight has gradually exceeded the standard.
Chen Xing was also reluctant to leave his mother's warm embrace, plus he was still a minor and didn't need any face, so it was time to lie down. After all, such opportunities would only become less and less.
Chen Xing was lying on Daisy's belly, and Daisy also stretched out her paws to help Chen Xing rub the hair on his face. When rubbing, he also had a wealth of skills, allowing air to enter the depths of the hair to keep it dry, combing the direction of the hair, and removing the stains. A little stain on the surface, so as to avoid the pool water soaking the skin and losing body heat.
These skills also need Chen Xing to learn from time to time to prepare for his future survival.
After finishing the little sea otter's hair, it was time to eat. Daisy pushed Chen Xing away from her belly and plunged herself into the water to find the food underneath.
Chen Xing floated on the water for a while, and simply followed Daisy's footsteps, held his breath, entered the water, and slowly dived to the bottom of the pool.
Chen Xing, who has grown up a lot now, after repeated practice, was finally able to successfully dive into the water and touch the bottom of the pool more than one meter deep, and then have the opportunity to catch the food at the bottom of the pool.
The food artificially put into the bottom of the pool is fresh, so it is still alive and running at this moment, not a dead thing that is motionless, so even if Chen Xing can finally sneak into the bottom of the pool now, he still wants to catch the food as easily as Daisy. , it still needs to be practiced repeatedly on weekdays, not a day's work.
Soon, Daisy found her favorite big crab at the bottom of the pool and swam out of the water with the crab.
Chen Xing in the water saw Daisy come out of the water. Although he found nothing in his hands, he did not continue to stay alone in the water, and followed Daisy's footsteps to the surface.
By now Daisy was biting straight into the crab's shell with her hard side teeth.
Chen Xing hurriedly took a closer look.
Who would have thought that the crab held by Daisy's claws was really too lively, and the big pincers were still very strong and struggling.
Approaching Daisy, the very close Chen Xing accidentally caught the hair on his cheek by the big crab's powerful pincers.
Chen Xing made a twisting motion, and as a result, there was a tingling pain on his cheek. Only then did he realize that the hair on this side was accidentally caught by the big crab who was doomed to death.
"Hey"
Chen Xing hurriedly called out.
Daisy didn't notice this until she heard Chen Xing's cry, and hurriedly took a bite. The big crab's claws were directly bitten by her, and she relaxed after a while, and the hair on Chen Xing's cheek was finally rescued successfully. .
"Hey!" Chen Xing picked up the big pliers bitten by Daisy, held it to his mouth in anger, and chewed it with his teeth, exposing the pliers inside and eating it into his stomach.
Today's Chen Xing's teeth have almost grown, and the hard crab pincers can bite directly, not afraid of sudden tooth collapse.
[Hahaha, what a poor star! 】
[Xingxing almost got bald on his face, what should I do if I'm so angry and funny? 】
[I can't leave my mother for a moment! Still a child after all. 】
The mother and son dealt with the big fat crab, and after a while Daisy got into the water again.
The subcutaneous fat layer of sea otters is particularly thin, the sea water is cold, and the energy consumption of a day is huge, so they eat a quarter or even a third of their body weight in one day, which can be said to be the first in the animal kingdom. .
Such a crab just now was naturally not enough for Daisy, an adult female sea otter.
During the day in this large open-air pool, in addition to floating with Chen Xing to rest and comb her hair, Daisy spends most of her time fishing for food in the pool to fill her stomach, and she can't be idle for a moment.
Chen Xing continued to observe Daisy's movements into the water, and then plunged into the water to observe Daisy's many skills in diving and catching food, so that he could learn as soon as possible.
Xu is being followed by a little sea otter, and Daisy herself is trying to teach the little sea otter all her survival skills, so the movement is not too fast, so that Chen Xing can see it clearly, and then learn to master it.
After watching Daisy's movements carefully for a while, Chen Xing finally found a shell at the bottom of the pool. He focused his attention on the shell and tried to swing his webbed hind limbs to move the water, allowing himself to dive deeper. In front of the shell, and then stretched out the small black claws to grab the shell.
With the shell in his hand, Chen Xing quickly surfaced and looked at the prey in his hand happily.
When Daisy finally surfaced with food, Chen Xing hurriedly handed the shell he found to Daisy.
Even though the shell is not big and there is not much meat in it, this is the first time Chen Xing caught the food at the bottom of the pool. Daisy smashed it open with a stone and ate the meat himself.
As for the prawn that Daisy caught just now, it naturally entered Chen Xing's stomach.
