Chapter 110:
As the sun went down, the sky turned from bright to dark, and night finally came.
Sea otters have a routine of preying during the day and resting at night, and there is no reversal of day and night.
Sensing the arrival of night, most of the sea otters in the sea otter group stopped their predation and prepared to rest.
Chen Xing saw a small group of sea otters suddenly focus on swimming in the same direction. He looked in that direction and saw a rock protruding from the water.
Sure enough, when the group of sea otters swam near the rock, they stopped and climbed to the rock to find a place to lie down. It seems that they plan to rest on this rock tonight.
Of course, more sea otters did not choose to rest on the rocks, but instead planned to continue floating on the sea to sleep and rest.
At the end of the day, Chen Xing donated two sea urchins to please him. The adult female sea otter, who had been clinging to him, swam directly to a group of seaweed belts next to her. She fought several somersaults in the water and successfully made the seaweed belts tight. Wrap it around its body, or grab the seaweed directly with its claws, and it will fix its position after a while. Even if the sea water is constantly undulating, there is no need to worry about it floating away.
This is an important reason why sea otters can rest on the surface all night without worrying about being overturned by the waves.
Chen Xing saw that the adult sea otter had found a fixed position, he simply swam to the other side, learned a series of movements from the other side, curled his body into a ball and rolled in the water many times to let the seaweed tape wrap around him. The small claws also grabbed a few seaweed belts, so that the body was easily fixed.
Even after a whole night, Chen Xing is not afraid that he will break up with this sea otter group, and he can still stay beside this adult sea otter that he temporarily and unilaterally considers a friend.
The movements of other sea otters on the sea were similar to Chen Xing. They wrapped long and tough seaweed belts around them, and some even held hands with their companions. After doing these movements, they could start to rest and sleep.
Chen Xing glanced at the adult sea otter beside him, who started to groom again at this time, and was not tired at all.
The behavior of sea otters grooming looks very cute in the eyes of humans, but for sea otters themselves, it is completely for survival, and its importance is extraordinary. They spend five hours a day on this matter, which shows that this matter importance.
Chen Xing turned the seaweed tapes wrapped around him with his claws to make his body more comfortable.
Lying on his back on the sea, Chen Xing's body also rose and fell with the waves.
However, because the body has been fixed by the seaweed belt, even if the waves come one after another, and the body rises and falls, Chen Xing's approximate position has not changed much, and he is still by his "friend".
It's still early, but just into the night, Chen Xing is not sleepy for the time being, and just like the "friends" around him, he starts to take care of the hair all over his body.
This unusually thick fur needs to be taken care of many times a day, but it can't be sloppy.
When Chen Xing combed the hair on his body carefully, he finally had nothing else to do, so he closed his eyes, let go of his brain, and gradually entered his first sleep in this sea area.
A white boat is moving at a constant speed in the boundless blue sea. A blue-eyed middle-aged man on the boat holds a telescope in front of him, and looks carefully ahead through the telescope.
"Is the little guy doing well in the sea otter group these days?"
Hearing the question from the team leader David, Eric, who was on the side, quickly said everything he knew.
"It's not bad. According to Ellie's observation, the little sea otter successfully joined the sea otter group on the first day. It didn't take long for us to go and it successfully caught food in the sea. The appetite was good, and the capture efficiency was also very good. He also studied hard when he followed Daisy."
"That's the best." David sighed with a faint smile on his face.
Eric suddenly thought of something, and then said: "There is another interesting thing, on the first day, Ellie and the others saw the little sea otter catch some sea urchins from the sea, and it actually gave two of them to the sea urchins. He caught an adult sea otter beside him and watched him eat the sea urchin, and then he stuck to him and slept together at night, just like when he was stuck with Daisy in the center."
Eric recounted the interesting thing he heard from Ellie's mouth, but he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Oh?" Hearing this, David couldn't help but feel funny.
Haven't heard of sea otters giving food to the same kind they have only known each other for less than a day?
Of course, the male sea otter deliberately robs the female sea otter with the cubs and asks the female sea otter to hand in the caught food.
But thinking about this little sea otter's usually well-behaved and clingy temperament, and usually very filial to Daisy, the surrogate mother, this seems to be something it can do.
It was only the first day that the little sea otter left the center and came to this unfamiliar sea area. He even knew how to use food or gifts to please an unfamiliar adult sea otter, and then stick to each other all the time. He is really smart!
The little sea otter is very adaptable. It seems that its life in this ocean will not be too bad in the future, and its release road should be very successful.
Chen Xing, who is being remembered by breeders David and Eric at the rescue center, is trying out the stone he just found.
This is a stone that Chen Xing just accidentally discovered in the crevice of the rock. It looks square and the size is very suitable to be stuffed into the bag. It shouldn't be too exciting, and the hardness of the stone is also very impressive. Chen Xing knocked the stone on the rock for a while, but he didn't find any damage to the stone.
Inexplicably, Chen Xing felt that the stone was what he was looking for, so he quickly stuffed the stone into his pocket, so as not to be seen or even taken away by other sea otters.
The sea otters are not stupid either, and it is natural to see that this rock is a very useful tool, and it is very rare to find it.
It was also Chen Xing who was lucky just now that he picked up this leak. After all, this rock has long been occupied by the sea otters as a territory.
Chen Xing caught a clam in the sea just now, just in time to try the effect with this newly found stone.
"Dong, dong, dong!" Chen Xing is now more and more proficient in using tools, and he can find the easiest angle to crack the food shell, so after a few smashes, the hard clam shell was knocked open.
Chen Xing quickly pulled the clam open with his claws and swallowed the meat inside.
After eating the meat, Chen Xing threw the useless shell into the sea water and let it sink on its own. He looked at the stone on his chest happily, and after a few glances, he put the stone back in the bag, so good The things you use can't be lost accidentally.
"Hey!"
Chen Xing suddenly heard a very immature voice, like the milky sound he only made when he was a child.
Chen Xing looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a small sea otter entangled by seaweed on the sea. At this time, there was no female sea otter around, so it cried out excitedly.
The other sea otters are used to this kind of situation for a long time, and everyone is busy hunting, so how can they take care of the cubs of other families.
The other sea otters ignored the little sea otter who cried out, but Chen Xing, who really had no resistance to cute creatures like sea otters, swam towards the little sea otter.
Although the little sea otter was alone and fixed on the sea surface by the seaweed belt, it was also numb.
Sea otter mothers need to support themselves and their children, and produce milk to breastfeed their children, so they consume a lot of energy every day, which needs food to make up for.
Therefore, during the day, the mother sea otter can only take care of the baby and hunt for food at the same time, neither of which is relaxed.
At this moment, the mother sea otter has to go into the water to find food, so she can't take the baby with her. At this time, the little sea otter's fluff has not faded, and it can only float on the sea surface and cannot dive, and the ability of the baby sea otter to hold its breath is not as good as that of an adult. sea otter.
In this way, when sea otter mothers go into the water to catch food, they can only keep their cubs in one place.
Surrounded by the same kind, the more vicious high sea otters don't like to come to the opposite **** when they are not in heat, so the little sea otters are relatively safe on the sea here.
The baby sea otter was wrapped with seaweed tape, which was also to fix the position of the baby sea otter, so that the baby sea otter would not be washed away by the waves and accidentally separated from the sea otter mother.
Chen Xing arrived at the little sea otter's side after a while.
The little sea otter saw Chen Xing coming, and gradually stopped calling, and looked at him curiously.
Before, Chen Xing was a little sea otter. Except for Daisy, every time he stayed alone, he had seen a few of the same kind, not to mention sea otter cubs.
This is the first time for Chen Xing to get along with sea otter cubs.
So cute!
The little sea otter is fluffy all over, with brownish-yellow fur, even more stuffed than a plush toy. He is also a whimpering monster with a milky voice. The head that looks like a mole is also cute and cute. personal.
[Ah, ah, no kidding, I really have a nosebleed! 】
[Add me to the front. 】
【Do you really want to steal home? 】
【Auntie Hugs】
Chen Xing, who was almost not killed by the little sea otter, was spinning around the little sea otter, and he really wanted to get started, but he held back.
Who knows if the mother sea otter will do something bad if she smells the unfamiliar smell of the baby sea otter?
Chen Xing revolved around the little sea otter, and the little sea otter simply stared at him with a pair of cute eyes, which was very endearing.
After playing with the little sea otter for a while, Chen Xing saw that there was a sea otter approaching this position under the water, so he simply swam away.
After swimming several meters away, Chen Xing turned around and saw that an adult sea otter had come to the little sea otter, and the little sea otter shouted at it excitedly.
This adult sea otter should be the mother of the baby sea otter.
The mother sea otter transferred the baby sea otter to lie on her belly, so that the baby sea otter could drink milk, while it began to eat the freshly caught crab, chewing it.
After watching the sea otter cub for a while, the eyes were full, and the viewers in the live broadcast room had become addicted to their eyes. Then Chen Xing plunged into the water and began to look for food to fill his stomach.
