Chapter 296 Wait a little longer
It smelled a familiar scent of its companions on the human, as if it was sending them some kind of signal.
Jiang Shiyan whistled and greeted them in the cold wind.
[This voice seems to be talking to us.]
[What a strange sound, I have never heard this frequency before.]
Jiang Shiyan whistled a few more times, and the clever porpoises seemed to realize that this human was really greeting them, and could even understand what they were talking about.
After accepting this recognition, several porpoises swam towards Jiang Shiyan, rolling happily in the water and constantly making excited calls.
[Wow, you really can understand what we say!]
Jiang Shiyan bent down, and several porpoises put their heads close to him. The porpoise's head felt like soft and elastic jelly, even softer than a dolphin's. He patted it.
duan~~~
[Clap me, pat me!]
A porpoise nearby pushed its companion away and put its head in front of Jiang Shiyan.
Jiang Shiyan did the same thing and gently patted the other person on the head.
[It’s my turn, it’s my turn, please make way…]
The small system also scanned out the information of these four finless porpoises.
The oldest is four years old and the youngest is only two years old.
Yangtze River porpoises basically reach adulthood at the age of five, so these porpoises are all underage children.
[Have you ever seen two porpoises that like to fight?]
The four-year-old baby porpoise asked Jiang Shiyan curiously.
Jiang Shiyan instantly thought of the two brothers Jijizhazha.
"They are in a human protection base." Jiang Shiyan replied.
[Yes, yes, they were captured by humans!]
"Don't worry, they are all fine. They even have names: Jiji and Zhazha..."
Jiang Shiyan chatted with them in the cold wind. A few porpoises would swim in the water from time to time and then jump out of the water as if they were performing.
When Jiang Shiyan asked them to help find the Yangtze River porpoise, the big baby porpoise told her that there were several big turtles hibernating ahead.
[It’s huge!]
[They were buried in the sand and sleeping for a long time.]
Jiang Shiyan was delighted and quickly shared the news with Kan Qingqing and another staff member of the base.
I originally thought that there were new clues, but after the staff confirmed the place where the finless porpoise said, they looked for something on the tablet and handed it to Jiang Shiyan to see.
"That place is within the base's monitoring range, and there are indeed signs of biological activity, but it's not the turtle, it's the soft-shelled turtle."
Jiang Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the photos sent back.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a soft-shell turtle.
If you don't carefully distinguish between the Chinese softshell turtle and the giant softshell turtle, it is indeed easy to mistake them for each other. The rapid decline in the number of the Chinese softshell turtle is also due to similar reasons. After being mistaken for the giant softshell turtle, no special protection measures were taken.
The finless porpoises didn't know the difference between the soft-shell turtle and the giant tortoise. They came to the side of the boat and excitedly asked Jiang Shiyan: "Is this the giant turtle you are looking for?"
Let's go wake them up!
Jiang Shiyan hurriedly called out to the porpoise that was about to cause trouble, and the latter showed a visibly disappointed expression.
[All right. ]
Jiang Shiyan took out some fresh fish and fed it to it, which calmed the little porpoise down.
Led by the baby porpoises, they took a walk around the area. Jiang Shiyan even put on a diving suit. The moment he got into the water, he shivered with cold and wanted to get ashore immediately.
She learned to dive while working part-time at the zoo. She also completed difficult coordinated movements with dolphins. Although it was hard work, it was worth it.
But the water in the aquarium is not that cold.
Jiang Shiyan tried hard to adapt for several minutes before he felt his body warm. He made a gesture to Kan Qingqing and another staff member, and the porpoises swam in front of them to lead the way.
They came to the place where the "big turtle" that the finless porpoise mentioned slept.
The distance between the mud and the water surface is quite far. Although Jiang Shiyan has learned to dive, she cannot compare with professionals after all. She dives to allow the system to scan the underwater environment more clearly.
"Have you scanned it?" Jiang Shiyan asked impatiently.
【Swim one more lap.】
"..."
Jiang Shiyan gritted his teeth and swam for a while, but finally he couldn't bear it anymore and was the first to go ashore.
She hurried back to the cabin, changed her clothes and wrapped herself in a blanket.
There was heating in the cabin, and Jiang Shiyan slowly recovered.
[No traces of the Ban softshell turtle have been found yet, but several Chinese sturgeons and some strange-looking fish have been found...]
Jiang Shiyan watched as the system projected the scanned biological photos onto the light screen, and began to flip through the photos one by one.
There is no class turtle.
[Host, the turtle is functionally extinct. It's normal that you can't find wild ones. When are you going to hatch that SSSS-level female turtle? ]
"Wait a minute."
not the right time yet.
Jiang Shiyan thought that after the two porpoises, Jiji and Zhazha, were released into the wild, he would use their help to pretend to find the eggs of the spotted softshell turtle and take the opportunity to successfully hatch the female spotted softshell turtle.
What she didn't expect was that this day would come so soon.
……
On that day, when Jiang Shiyan was training the first few baby finless porpoises he met on the boat, Kan Qingqing was responsible for filming and recording the training process.
However, before the morning had passed, Jiang Shiyan was urgently called back to the base.
"Miss Xiaoyan, something happened at the base, please come back and take a look!"
Jiang Shiyan was stunned for a moment, but he had a rough idea in his mind and guessed that the two porpoises must have started to make trouble.
It's only been two days and these two little guys couldn't help it!
After Jiang Shiyan rushed back, before he even reached the aquarium, he heard some noise coming from inside, water splashing everywhere, and even a huge crash!
After seeing Jiang Shiyan, everyone felt like they had seen a life-saving straw.
"Miss Xiaoyan, go and have a look! The two porpoises suddenly started to hit the glass crazily and attacked the keeper out of control..."
"Xiao Jiang, you're back just in time, go check it out!"
Jiang Shiyan was pushed in without even having time to change her clothes.
The keeper who was attacked by the porpoise was swimming desperately towards the shore, but every time he was about to reach the shore, he was dragged into the water.
In order to compare and observe their living habits, the people at the base kept them both in the same water area. At first, the two brothers got along harmoniously. However, this morning, when the keeper was feeding them, they suddenly dragged the keeper into the water.
Due to the preciousness of the finless porpoises, the keepers did not dare to do anything to them. Instead, they tried hard to swim to the shore, but were soon dragged into the water again. Others who wanted to help were all scared back by the finless porpoises.
Although the Yangtze River dolphin is called the "smiling angel" in the water, once it becomes angry and uncontrollable, its aggression is enough to hurt humans!
