My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 119 Interesting Leather Turtle



This is true not only of thaupis, but of almost all sea turtles.

Creatures such as sea turtles mostly have a long lifespan, strong and powerful limbs that are very suitable for swimming, and most of them have hard shells. They hardly have anything in their long lives except for the journey from the beach to the ocean when they break out of their shells. catastrophe.

Adult leather turtles usually climb to the beach to dig pits to lay eggs from May to June every year. The number of eggs laid each time is about 90 to 150. After laying eggs, they are buried with sand on the spot and wait for the eggs to hatch naturally.

The small leather turtles usually hatch from their shells from July to September every year. At that time, there are the most birds. Flocks of birds will prey on the small leather turtles that line up on the beach and swim in a straight line to the ocean.

The straight line from the sandpit to the ocean, which is usually no more than 100 meters, is the life and death line of the small leather turtle. Usually, nearly half of the small leather turtles will die along this road.

However, the small leather turtles that enter the ocean are basically considered safe.

They will not swim to the deep sea quickly, but will search for food locally in the coastal areas. Most of the coastal areas are shallow seas, and there are very few ferocious marine predators. In addition, the small leather turtles eat almost everything, small fish , Shrimp, and even plankton, so the leatherback turtle at this stage is quite safe.

By the time sea turtles reach adulthood, they have almost no natural enemies throughout the ocean.

It's really sad that such a creature with almost no natural enemies and strong ability to reproduce and survive is almost extinct just because of a small plastic bag.

Of course, the over-fishing of humans in the early years was also an important reason for the sharp decline in the number of sea turtles. At that time, there was a saying that turtles lived for 80,000 years.

There are vendors selling small fish and shrimp outside the sea exhibition hall. Many ornamental fish eat small fish and shrimp.

Xiang Yang bought fresh small fish and shrimp for ten yuan, and poured them into an iron basin to feed the three leather turtles.

The three leather turtles didn't know what fear was at all, and when they saw the small fish and shrimps surrounded by the iron basin, they stretched their heads and began to devour them in big mouthfuls in the iron basin.

Little friend, call your father and tell your father to come and pick you up! Xiang Yang said after feeding the leather turtle, took out his mobile phone and handed it to the little boy.

The little boy must lead the way to the beach where the turtles were found. Xiang Yang estimated that Chen Yu might ask the boy some questions after a while. For several miles, it is impossible for Xiang Yang to run around with the boy without notifying the boy's parents, otherwise the parents would think they encountered a trafficker.

Uncle, my father is not at home, he is away on a business trip. The little boy said crisply.

What about mom? Mr. Peng asked.

Mom is on a business trip too. The little boy said.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, his parents have gone out, so the child was brought with his grandparents? Xiang Yang squatted down and asked kindly: Little friend, what's your name? Who do you usually live with?

My name is Li Jin, and I live with my parents, grandma, and uncle and aunt. The boy said loudly.

Xiang Yang is happy, and the relationship is still a big family with no separation.

Do you know your uncle's phone number? Your uncle is not on a business trip, right? Mr. Peng explained to Xiang Yang, It may be a bit bumpy in a while. If possible, don't call the old man.

Xiang Yang nodded.

Li Jindao: I know, my uncle's phone number is.

Xiang Yang entered a phone number according to the numbers the little boy said.

Xiang Yang was immediately stunned by this input, he actually had the boy's uncle's communication contact, it was Li Chao.

Xiang Yang blinked, Is your uncle Li Chao?

The boy nods.

Mr. Peng also turned his head immediately, Li Chao? That Li Chao from Dragon City Crown?

Xiang Yang said: I'm afraid so, so you know him too. After finishing speaking, Xiang Yang called him.

Mr. Peng shook his head and smiled wryly. They are all in the same circle and in the same city. Could he not know?

Not to mention that Xiang Yang and Mr. Peng are lamenting how small the world is, so they can meet acquaintances. On the other side, Li Chao was showing off his French blue dragon in a small circle in the exhibition hall.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Li Chao looked at the caller ID, and then picked it up with a smile, Hey, brother Xiang, why are you looking for brother again? Didn't you say that you don't need it, Lanlong?

Yes, it's my nephew, how do you know?

What? What are you talking about?

You little bastard, Brother Xiang, wait for me there, I'll be right there.

A few minutes later, Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng quickly came out of the ornamental fish exhibition city.

Uncle. The boy called out first.

Brother Super.

President Li.

Xiang Yang and Mr. Peng also shouted.

Brother Xiang, Mr. Peng, thank you very much. Li Chao first thanked Xiang Yang and Mr. Peng, then stared at Li Jin and said, Who told you to come here? Does grandma know?

Li Chao first scolded Li Jin, and then looked at Xiang Yang and explained: My brother and the old man are both stubborn, and they believe in poor boys and rich girls. How many points he scored in the exam, so his pocket money is actually very little, I didn't expect this kid to go to the beach to catch leather turtles, luckily he met you and didn't sell it, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

Xiang Yang smiled and said: This is what it should be, even if I meet someone else, I believe that I will do it like this.

These three leather turtles are very difficult to deal with. Brother Xiang, Mr. Peng, wait a minute. I'll call my dad. He needs to be involved in this matter. Li Chao hurriedly took out his phone.

Xiang Yang hurriedly stopped him and told Chen Yu.

A scientific research team with formal procedures? Li Chao raised his eyebrows and smiled: That's a way, but don't let it slip for a while. If you say that Xiaojin discovered the leather turtle, don't mention that he is I’m selling leather turtles, I’ll treat you guys to dinner later.”

Xiang Yang and Mr. Peng naturally agreed with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Chao had time to look into the small iron basin, My good fellow, even I have never seen a real wild leather turtle. I didn't expect this kid to catch three of them.

Zhang Qicheng said: I have seen it, but it was many years ago. At that time, leather turtles were hunted and killed. At that time, leather turtles were easy to catch. When the leather turtles were laying eggs or resting on the beach, they would kill them. They turn over on all fours, and they can never turn over on their own without external force. During the season when leather turtles are laying eggs, they are sent to guard on the beach. When they encounter leather turtles, they turn them over and drive to pick them up That's it.

As he said that, Zhang Qicheng also wanted to grab a small leather turtle from the iron basin with his hands and show it to a few people.
