I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 663 Marine Living Fossil, Unchanged in 4 Million Years!

After all, filter-feeding and carnivorous marine organisms must have different behavioral habits because of their different eating methods.

For filter-feeding marine creatures such as humpback whales and blue whales, they only need to open their mouths wide, wait for small fish, shrimps and plankton to enter their mouths, and then filter out the excess seawater.

But carnivorous marine life is different. Whether it is a shark or a killer whale, they all need to take the initiative to ensure that they can have a full meal.

Yet at this time.

As Lin Yang got closer and closer to the target unknown creature, the water friends in the live broadcast room suddenly discovered that the unknown deep-sea creature that Lin Yang had photographed vaguely looked somewhat ugly.
At the same time, the system immediately gave Lin Yang new discovery reminder feedback:

【Congratulations!The host has a new discovery!Name: Giant Unnamed Frilled Shark!Attributes: Chordate Phylum, Cartilaginous Fish Class, Elasmobranchium Subclass! 】

In the picture of Lin Yang's live broadcast room, under the camera of the first perspective, the distance is constantly approaching, and the lighting of the searchlight.

Let the unknown creature like a ghost in the deep sea gradually reveal its true face.

Lin Yang is no stranger to frilled sharks and knows a lot about them
However, in the reminder feedback given by the system, the "giant unnamed frilled shark" was mentioned.

Moreover, even in the absence of a specific reference, the frilled shark looks really big.

Under normal circumstances, the body length of frilled sharks is about 1.5-2 meters, but the frilled sharks photographed by Lin Yang now have a small number of three meters.

The frilled shark is a kind of shark in the frilled shark family, a family and a genus, at least in modern marine taxonomy, it has no subspecies differentiation.

In the mainstream academic circles, it is believed that this species, known as a marine living fossil, has a high probability that it has not changed much in the past 4 million years.

In the live broadcast room, the water lovers felt somewhat uncomfortable with the sudden entry of this ugly and terrifying marine creature, at least in terms of senses.

"Fuck! What kind of monster is this? A mutated sea snake?"

"Good guy! Didn't he come from the waters around Sakura Island?"

"It looks so ugly! It almost made me spit out the overnight meal qaq."

"This kind of Dragon King Whale doesn't want to eat it, does it? It's so ugly, how can it eat it?"

"I told you to read more books to learn knowledge, now it's all right, if you don't even know frilled sharks, you will be ugly every time you bite."

Although she was very concerned about Lin Yang's situation at the moment, Yue'er couldn't help but burst out laughing after seeing the barrage messages of some water friends.

She went on to say: "This kind of sea creature, brother Yang mentioned to me before, its name is indeed a frilled shark, but it seems to be much longer than brother Yang said."

During this period of sea travel, Yue'er crammed a lot of relevant knowledge.

People say that 'diligence can make up for one's weakness', and although this girl doesn't have a photographic memory, she still has a very high acceptance of new things.

It was this process of learning while traveling at sea that made her a half-expert in marine life.

At least some of the marine life that the water friends in the live broadcast room don't know, Yue'er can tell a thing or two.

"Frilled shark? Is it the kind of marine creature that the anchor was mistaken for when he discovered Xiaohujiao?"

"It looks so ugly. The Dragon King Whale is so good at it. If I were this Dragon King Whale, I would definitely not take it."

"Under normal circumstances, the size of the frilled shark is about two meters down. I searched the Internet, and it is indeed the case. The creatures captured by the anchor now seem to be much longer than those recorded on the Internet!"

"That is to say, if there are no accidents, the anchor may later film this creature similar to the Dragon King Whale preying on a frilled shark? It's exciting to think about it!"

"And how did the name 'Living Fossil of the Sea' come about?"

Regarding the frilled shark that was photographed, the water friends in the live broadcast room were full of discussions.

Frilled sharks are called frilled sharks because they have 6 gill slits on both sides of their body, three of which are elongated and folded and cover each other!

It is precisely because of this feature that marine biologists named it the frilled shark when they classified and named it.

To put it bluntly, their gills are covered.

It was first discovered in 1884. In terms of the overall number of marine ecology and species status alone, the number of frilled sharks is not particularly large.

Even if they are mostly in the deep sea environment, on the one hand, although the distribution range of frilled sharks is particularly wide, it is very scattered, and the growth period of frilled sharks is relatively long, and the fertility rate is relatively low, which in turn causes the number of species to be low. few.

From the perspective of marine biology alone, it has a relatively important ecological investigation value.

Whether it is in Longguo or the IUCN World Conservation Union, it is listed as a red list of endangered species.

Compared with other sharks, frilled sharks have more gill slits because most of them inhabit deep seas with higher pressure.

Since the oxygen concentration in the deep sea environment is much lower than that in shallow sea areas, more gills are needed to exchange gases and absorb oxygen from seawater.

At this moment.

In the footage of Lin Yang's live broadcast room, the frilled shark recorded was swimming towards deeper waters.

In Lin Yang's view, the reason why the frilled shark that was photographed at the moment swam towards deeper waters, as if escaping, was most likely because its sensory system had already sensed the danger coming!

Since frilled sharks mostly live in the deep waters of the ocean, humans know little about their observation and communication abilities.

But it can be analyzed based on information from other sharks with the same habits, which are likely to use their lateral lines and sense of touch to navigate and sense the contours of seabed life.

Frilled sharks should be very sensitive to the frequencies generated by sound and the vibration of larger objects, and can release electrical pulses through their muscles to detect the surrounding environment.

According to marine biologists, this frilled shark even has the ability to tell changes in seawater by detecting water pressure.

What is certain is that the thought of this thing passed through one's own organs. Regarding the change in the pressure of the surrounding sea water, he sensed that there was a large marine creature approaching him, so he fled to the deeper sea.

Compared with other fish, frilled sharks can absorb more oxygen in the deep sea because of their more gill slits, so they can better adapt to deeper seas.

Aside from preying on other creatures, when they encounter danger, they will bear the brunt of fleeing to the deeper seabed!

In the footage of Lin Yang's live broadcast room, the huge Dragon King Whale seems to have locked its target.

Even though the frilled shark has fled towards deeper waters, it still cannot get rid of the coveted eyes of this large predator!

At this moment, whether it is an ordinary viewer in the live broadcast room or a researcher in a professional field, they are not taking their eyes off every frame captured by Lin Yang!
Ordinary people watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.

Not to mention that it is not easy to find this kind of dragon king whale similar to ancient creatures in the Caribbean Sea, and it has high scientific research value.

If Lin Yang is lucky enough to capture the entire process of this big guy like the dragon king whale hunting frilled sharks, it will undoubtedly be an extremely precious image for the marine biology research community.

Although marine biologists don't know much about the habits of this big guy similar to the Dragon King Whale, the gill sand that it regards as its prey, even if it lives under the deep sea, after so many years of marine biological research , researchers in related fields still have a relatively good understanding of the habits of frilled sharks.

Frilled sharks, like other sharks, are primarily carnivorous and will even prey on other relatively smaller sharks.

Its jaws are very flexible in opening and closing. In addition to the intricate and dense teeth, they can even use their large mouths to swallow their prey whole.

Careful viewers can naturally see it in the pictures captured by Lin Yang before.

The frilled shark's mouth is full of dense teeth, like a steel wool ball stuffed into its mouth!
In fact.

The frilled shark's mouth is full of triangular teeth, and each tooth has three cusps!

In their big mouths, there are 25 rows of sharp teeth densely distributed, and a full 300 of them are densely packed!
Even audiences who don't know this kind of marine life can tell at a glance that it is by no means a good creature, and must be a ferocious marine predator!
at the same time.

The Institute of Marine Biology of the Long Guohua Academy of Sciences was obviously shocked by the huge frilled shark photographed by Lin Yang!

In the eyes of ordinary people, Lin Yang just photographed a relatively rare and unique shark under the ocean.

But in the eyes of research scholars in the professional field, this is an extremely unusual phenomenon!
Because, in the related comments of the Institute of Marine Biology of the Long Guohua Academy of Sciences, it can already be seen.

[The frilled shark photographed by Comrade Lin Yang at a depth of nearly 200 meters in the Caribbean Sea is fundamentally different in size from the 'Pseudo-eel Shark' recorded in previous records, and the research in the field of marine biology Among them, under normal circumstances, the active range of the frilled shark is about 1500 meters in the deep sea, and the frilled shark that appears in the shallow sea is relatively rare! 】

[And without a specific reference, the length of this frilled shark is about three meters, far exceeding the length of the frilled shark in normal cognition. 】

[In addition, it needs to be reminded that frilled sharks are by no means good creatures in the ocean. I hope that Comrade Lin Yang can pay attention to safety during the follow-up filming process. 】

Basically.

The Institute of Marine Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' safety reminder to Lin Yang is a little redundant.

After all, Lin Yang is currently under the deep sea of ​​the Caribbean Sea, not to mention whether he has time to check the relevant trends in the live broadcast room and the barrage messages, even if he has the conditions, he will not be under the sea water and will race against time , Wasted in paying attention to the barrage messages in the live broadcast room.

With the system and its strong adaptability to the deep sea, even though Lin Yang is not equipped with a more professional liquid oxygen deep diving device that is more suitable for the deep sea environment, he is only equipped with ordinary diving equipment.Therefore, even the deep-sea environment that continuously increases the atmospheric pressure of seawater did not impose too much burden on his body.

As Lin Yang and the huge creatures similar to the Dragon King Whale continued to dive, and the frilled sharks that appeared in the footage of the live broadcast room before continued to flee.

Yue'er is always paying attention to the relevant data sent back by Lin Yang's diving equipment.

At this time, Lin Yang's dive depth has gradually exceeded 210 meters.

At this moment, the girl even prayed that the giant dragon king whale could hunt and kill the frilled shark as soon as possible.

It's not that this girl doesn't pay attention to the protection of marine life, it's just that if the frilled shark and the giant dragon king whale, one is fleeing to the deep sea area, and the other is chasing the deep sea area, when will this be a head?
Lin Yang, who is equipped with ordinary diving equipment, does not have good conditions to keep shooting. If he goes further down, the pressure in the deep sea will gradually increase, which will bring a huge burden to Lin Yang.

Yet at this time.

Yue'er's prayer seemed to have an effect, the sea creature that resembled the Dragon King Whale suddenly and swiftly swung its huge and slender body.

It seemed to accelerate suddenly, and rushed towards the deep sea area!

Under the attention of tens of millions of water friends, although the frilled shark with a body length of about three meters looks very scary, compared with the tear dragon king whale with a body length of more than 20 meters, this frilled shark is now like a small Loach' average.

In Lin Yang's underwater first-person view, the rapidly accelerating Dragon King Whale swims much faster than the frilled shark under the premise of cruising rapidly.

At this moment.

Lin Yang seemed to understand a truth.

Before that, the Dragon King Whale slowly drifting in the shallow sea was not limited by the function of the body, so it couldn't move too fast.

From this point alone, its hunting and survival mechanism seems to be somewhat similar to that of a crocodile.

You must know that in the process of predation, crocodiles are often as fast as lightning, swiftly and resolutely deal with their prey, and finish eating.

But if they are not hunting, they will do their best to reduce the body's metabolism and calorie consumption, so as to maintain long-term living conditions.

Come to think of it, this huge Dragon King Whale has similar characteristics.

Since there is no need to prey, swim slowly to reduce the consumption of the body.
From this analysis, it seems reasonable.

Because of the sudden acceleration of that kind of dragon king whale, Lin Yang's dive speed could no longer keep up with this big guy.

Fortunately, the sea area lit up by the searchlights allowed the camera to clearly record the whole process of the dragon king whale hunting frilled sharks.

next second.

The 4 million-year-old marine fossil frilled shark and the dinosaur-like whale that seem to have crossed the river of time have been brought close to us.

Even casual viewers seem to have foreseen the outcome.

In the face of this giant marine creature like the dragon king whale, even the ferocious deep-sea hunter frilled shark may only have the result of "man for the knife, I for the fish".

Even so.

The tens of millions of viewers who followed the live broadcast room are still watching with bated breath what may happen next!
