Chapter 701 (1/2)

On the expansion of the zoo, mayor Bai said he would hold a meeting to study it later.

Although there is no direct promise, it should be sure!

He encouraged him again and asked him to cheer up and make the zoo better and better.

”OK, you must live up to the leaders' expectations!”

After talking to mayor Bai, the system prompt also rang.

”Ding! The stranded melon headed whales were rescued in time, and most of them were lucky to survive.”

”Rescue melon head whale (57), completion evaluation, excellent!”

Fang Ye couldn't help showing his expectant eyes and rubbed his hands!

”Get the reward, South African sea lion * 8!”

The South African sea lion, also known as the South African seal, is 1.8-2.7 meters long and weighs 120-400 kg. It is the largest of the sea lions!

When it comes to sea lions, many people may have the impression that sea lions head a ball, dance in circles, and clap their hands.

They are also regular visitors to marine animals performing circus. When you come to Linhai zoo, of course, you won't let sea lions do such things.

After the arrival of South African sea lions, they can be placed next to the penguin pavilion to form an ocean theme with spotted billed ring penguins.

Now marine pollution is also a very serious problem. Before, some scientists wanted to investigate how much plastic flows into the ocean every year, but it is not easy to make statistics.

After gathering scientists from many different fields and creating a huge professional team, after research and statistics, we finally get a very amazing data: 8 million tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year! Every year, there is no other marine garbage.

What concept is equivalent to dumping 1000 tons of plastic into the sea every hour and a truck of plastic every minute.

Statistics also show that the consumption of plastics is rising. By 2050, this data will double, and there will be more plastics in the sea than fish by weight.

The statistics a few years ago have also fallen behind. The latest report shows that if no measures are taken, it will triple in 10 years.

These marine plastics will bring many problems. More than 1 million marine animals die because of plastics every year.

For example, the stranding of whales and dolphins may be due to the weakness caused by swallowing plastic. Once, a whale stranded off the coast of Thailand found 80 plastic bags in its stomach. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish. Jellyfish is the turtle's favorite food. When they see plastic bags, they will eat them without hesitation. If they eat too much, they will die if they can't digest and discharge them.

The marine theme exhibition area can introduce these contents to tourists and expand the aquarium in the future.

……

The news of the successful release of the remaining two melon headed whales was also reported.

Netizens have some regrets. They didn't expect to be released so soon in just a few days!

They are still voting and discussing what name to give them. ”Melon”, ”raw melon egg” and ”melon skin” are all popular choices.

”How beautiful it looks to jump under the sunset!”

”I can't bear you!”

”It's good to let you go. Don't worry anymore. I hope you're safe and have a good trip!”

”The staff worked hard!”
