A huge jet sound sounded over the vast ice field, and Bi Fang pulled the reins and stopped the three fools from moving on.

The audience was also startled by the sudden sound and asked what it was.

[What sound?] 】

[What's that?] 】

[Something blew up? 】

Bi Fang rolled up the musk cowhide, got off the sleigh, stood on the ice, looked into the distance, and watched the water jet another jet under the faint starlight, as if something was constantly rising and falling, and there was a faint guess in his heart.

"It looks like a whale."

Whale!?

The water friends were taken aback, the height of the drone is much higher than Bi Fang, theoretically they can see farther than Bi Fang, but looking at the past, there is a large area in a radius, all of which are glaciers, how can whales appear, and spray water columns?

How do they squirt out?

"Just go and see." Bi Fang stepped back on the sled, pulled the reins, and adjusted the direction to rush in the direction of the water jet.

As the distance approached, the audience finally saw through the drone in the air that on the vast ice field, there was a huge ice cave at some point, and the sea water was surging in it, and in the ice cave, a giant beast was really undulating, gushing water columns.

[It's really a whale!! 】

[How did the whales come here?] 】

[There are whales in Greenland, do you think?] 】

[Wait, it seems that there is more than one whale!] 】

[Both ends! There are two ends! 】

"No, it's three-headed."

Bi Fang drove the sleigh to the cave, and finally saw what the behemoth was under the undulating water.

It is a huge body length of more than ten meters, gray all over, covered with white spots, and the skin is uneven and looks very mottled.

What kind of whale is this? Blue whales? 】

[It doesn't seem to be, didn't Lao Fang encounter it once, it feels different from the blue whale]

"It's three gray whales, and it looks like it's still a family."

Bi Fang, who was squatting next to the ice cave, gave the answer directly, and the audience was stunned.

[Family? 】

[I don't recognize what kind of whale this is]

[It's so big, it's too big]

For those who don't know, each large whale seems to look very different, but for a slightly more professional person, each species of whale is quite different.

"Gray whales are all between 10 and 15 meters long and weigh more than 30 tons. The whole body is gray, dark gray, or blue-gray with white spots, and the ventral surface is pale in color. ”

"See the bumps on their backs?" Bi Fang pointed to the gray whale that surfaced and said, "Those are mainly skin-like skin formed by abrasions from rocks or gravel, as well as scars from parasites such as barnacles. For this reason, some people also call it the 'grey rocky shore swimmer'. ”

The mottled skin is not good-looking, and the vast majority of the audience has some goosebumps to a greater or lesser extent.

Bi Fang went on to point out some characteristics that are unique to gray whales.

"In addition to these, there are many gray whales that are not endemic, but all of them are unique features, such as their oval eyes, located behind the horns of the mouth, higher than the eyes of other baleen cetaceans, and slightly longer upper eyelids."

"The ear holes are large enough to insert a pencil and are located between the eye and the base of the flipper."

"The baleen are pale yellow, about 140-180 on each side, and 40-50 centimeters in length. The whisker plate is thicker, the whisker hair is rough, and the whole whisker plate gives a heavy feeling. ”

"There are also thick body types, especially the thickest near the flippers, although there is no dorsal fin, but the dorsal ridge is exposed, and you can see 8 to 15 small hump-like bumps on the back of the tail."

"And the gray whale doesn't have a fold, emmm, Thanos everyone knows it, right?" Bi Fangmo rubbed his chin and said suddenly.

[I know, I know, purple sweet potato essence]

[Why are you still involved with Thanos? ] 】

"That's right, Thanos's chin is a bit like a whale's fold, which gray whales don't have, some people think that the function of folds is to help expand or shrink the thoracic cavity when the animal breathes, and it can increase the capacity of the mouth when feeding, and gray whales are the most primitive shallow water type of existing baleen whales, so the folds are not as developed as other baleen whales."

As if seeing Bi Fang's arrival, the gray whale that surfaced to breathe let out a sad hum like crying, just like a human sigh, spreading on the ice field, and sprayed a column of water at the ice cave, saying that it was a water column, more like an icicle.

The misty water vapor turned into frost in an instant after coming into contact with the extremely cold weather in the Arctic, part of it fell in the ocean to dissolve, and the other part fell on the ice surface and continued to accumulate.

"The gray whale has 2 fumaroles, both of which are located a little behind the highest part of the snout, the front end of the 2 holes is closer, about 7 centimeters, and the rear end is a little farther away, about 21 centimeters, and what we just saw and heard is that it is jetting."

"It is precisely because there are two of them that the fog column spewed out by the gray whale is short and thick, the top is very flat, and it is very close to each other, so from the back it is two fog columns that are very close to each other, and from the side it looks like there is only one fog column, and the two in one cause the water column to be more obvious, which can be easily seen by us."

If it weren't for such a thick pillar of fog, even Bi Fang's eyesight would have been difficult to notice at once in the North Pole at night.

[I see]

[Isn't it dangerous to stand next to it?]

[I feel so sad about the whale's call]

At this time, the audience's hearts were filled with puzzlement, especially when they saw the scar on the top of the gray whale's head, they were even more puzzled, and the whale looked as if it was masochistic.

"It's not dangerous, I once encountered a blue whale when I was trying to survive in the ocean, I don't know if you remember what I said before, there are two types of whales."

"One is baleen whales, which have no teeth and eat mainly crustaceans, such as krill, and are quite docile to humans in terms of personality. The other type is toothed whales, they have sharp teeth, like to eat large squid, octopus and fish, and have a relatively fierce personality, gray whales, like blue whales, are also a type of baleen whales. ”

But this still can't solve the audience's confusion as to why the gray whale is here, and it keeps ups and downs.

Although Bi Fang said that the skin on the gray whale's head was scraped like this by a rock or something, now there are obviously many new injuries on the gray whale's head, and normal people can see it, and it is impossible for Fang Shen not to know.

"Quite simply, they're trapped."

Trapped?

What do you mean?

The more the audience listened, the more confused they became.

Bi Fang stood up, looked at the vast ice field, and squinted: "There are ice fields for at least a few kilometers around, and gray whales don't break the ice directly like bowhead whales, they can't break the ice and swim into the sea, so they can only hold this hole and keep ventilating." ”
