I Have a Safari Park

"Fish here!"

The breeder shouted, and the sea lions basking in the sun suddenly became more energetic.

There are delicious!

Seeing the breeder walking to the island, several sea lions also went into the water and swam happily in the water.

Through the glass, Tang Xiaoxin saw the sea lion's fins swinging up and down like a paddle.

After swinging a few times, the fins were attached to the side of the body, the tail was flat, and the body was smooth and streamlined. With the help of the remaining force of the swinging fins, it gracefully glided a certain distance in the water.

Seeing that it was about to hit a rock, the sea lion raised its head slightly and swung its tail.

He floated up lightly and brushed past the stone.

Occasionally, he rotates his body in the water, turns his side in a big loop, and his swimming posture is vigorous and agile.

When the breeder landed on the island, the sea lions also swam over.

A sea lion leaped out of the water, jumped lightly on a stone on the edge, supported its body on its fins, and watched the breeder sway from side to side, eager to eat the fish.

The breeder stretched out his hand, and the sea lion immediately obediently put the tip of his nose in it!

The breeder explained to the tourists with a headset: "This is a daily health check! Look at their eyes, nose, and skin."

The sea lion was so cooperative that the breeder fed it two small fish tossed from a small bucket.

Then he blew the whistle and started behavior training.

"Come on, shake hands!"

The sea lion lifted one fin and placed it in the keeper's palm, then switched hands.

"Well done!"

The breeder feeds it two small fish.

The tourists exclaimed: "Wow, so obedient!"

A child, holding the parent's hand, looked at the sea lion, and said loudly: "I also want to play with the sea lion!"

When the sea lion ate the fish, it made a rough cry of "Ow Ow" excitedly.

Seeing how excited it was, the breeder touched his head to comfort him, and said with a smile, "Ah, eating fish is such a beautiful thing."

After checking the training, start throwing fish in the water!

A sea lion suddenly jumped out, bit the fish in one bite, and fell back into the water with a "pop" sound, splashing a large white splash, stirring the pool water up and down.

He surfaced, his head swayed from side to side, and he looked ready to go.

The breeder threw a fish towards Tang Xiaoxin and the others!

Suddenly, a sea lion quickly swam underwater, jumped out of the water to draw an arc, grabbed the fish and drilled back into the water, with a graceful and swift posture.

Occasionally, the breeder is seen holding out his palm, jumping back to shore, and touching the tip of his nose.

Tang Xiaoxin and the others opened their eyes wide and applauded!

After watching the sea lions eat fish, Qian Keke said, "It's almost noon, let's go have lunch? I'm also hungry watching them eat fish!"

Tang Xiaoxin said: "Wait a minute, go and see that sculpture."

Next to the sea lion pavilion, there is a sculpture of a sea lion!

But unlike other sculptures, this one is made of scrap metal and plastic.

The body is sprayed with black and white paint, it is dirty and has the feeling of graffiti in the slums, the colorful plastic sheet on the back is eye-catching, there are several loops of fishing line around the neck, and a piece of skin on the face is exposed, revealing the underlying metal net.

The most striking thing is its round black eyes. It looks a little frightened, and it seems to be puzzled. I don't know why I am injured, and it makes people uncomfortable to look at it.

On the exhibition board next to it, the title asked: "When you mention the ocean, what do you think of?"

In Tang Xiaoxin's mind, all kinds of cute animals such as penguins, sea lions, and dolphins suddenly appeared.

Qian Keke thought of the beautiful beach, the bright sunshine, the wind blowing, the waves lapping, the children building sand castles, stepping on the sand with bare feet and chasing and laughing.

"The ocean determines the hue of our planet, nurtures life, and is home to countless creatures...

But did you know that 380 billion plastic bags and other packaging are used globally every year, and more than 8 million tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year? Today, plastic waste is already threatening the health of ecosystems, marine animals and even humans. "

Both were shocked by the number, 8 million tons! ?

The beautiful beach, sea breeze, laughing children, and cute marine animals that I had imagined in my mind just now turned into all kinds of plastic waste, which piled up on the shore and floated in the sea. Unpleasant odor.

Plastic waste has become a huge threat to marine life and marine ecosystems!

Larger plastic items such as bags, straws, plastic bottles, ropes, takeaway packaging and many of the things we use in our daily lives are referred to as "big plastic waste". In addition to messing up beaches, large plastics can also pose a threat to wildlife, such as being ingested or entangled.

Some plastics stay in the sea for a long time, they will be covered with algae and become food in the eyes of animals.

The albatross parents hopefully collect them to feed their children, and it doesn't take long for the chicks to die.

After dissecting the carcass of whales and turtles, it was found that there were countless plastics in their stomachs.

A few years ago, there was a widely circulated video. Some researchers found that there was an abnormality in the nose of a sea turtle. At first, they thought it was a parasite, but when they pulled out half of it, they found that it was actually a straw. During the process of pulling the straw, the turtle had a bright red nosebleed, looked very painful, struggled constantly, and took ten minutes to pull it out.

There are also sea lions, who are entangled in fishing nets and cannot get rid of them. The older they grow, the tighter they become, and they are deeply strangled into their flesh. If no one rescues them, they can only die slowly.

Plastic is difficult to degrade. When wandering in the sea, it will be worn by the action of heat and cold, sun, waves, wind, sand and gravel, and gradually become brittle and disintegrate into thousands of small particles, known as Microplastics.

The lethality of microplastics is no less than that of large plastic wastes, and they are easily eaten by organisms at the bottom of the food chain such as mussels and zooplankton. It cannot be digested, and can only accumulate in the body for a long time, which can seriously lead to illness or even death.

Small sea creatures eat plastic, which affects all creatures in the food chain, including humans.

Although the adverse effects on human health are still unclear, the effects on some organisms have been confirmed.

Microplastics can enter biological tissues, causing inflammation or damage, and there are often chemical additives and various organic pollutants in microplastics. Once accumulated to a certain extent, they will cause serious health problems, especially the endocrine system. Developmental and reproductive disorders.

Tang Xiaoxin looked horrified!

The tourist next to him also had a heavy expression, shaking his head and sighing.

"Maybe we humans will be eliminated by ourselves."

"I hope everyone can raise their awareness of environmental protection. This epidemic is bad enough."

"Hey, I'm always in a hurry if the board doesn't hit me."

"What can we do?"
