The happy life of finless porpoise in a day, guarding the river and waiting for fish to eat.
May 22nd, World Biodiversity Day. At 7 o’clock in the morning, Mr. Wu, a volunteer to protect the Yangtze finless porpoise, came to Xiaguan Riverside in Nanjing to observe the Yangtze finless porpoise for one day and understand how they live happily in Nanjing metropolitan area.
At 7 o’clock in the morning, on the lower surface of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, the river was choppy from upstream to downstream, and fish jumped out of the water from time to time. In a short time, a few big animals were swam out from a distance, and then they lined up in a straight line, all of them stuck to their posts and swam in situ together, some of them jumped from time to time, fanned the big swallowtail and set off waves.
These dozens of big animals, which are gray and black and round, are Nanjing Jiangzhuzi, whose scientific name is Yangtze finless porpoise, a national first-class wild protected animal. Originally, we swam in situ together, and waited for the little fish to enter the mouth and become a thing in the bag. However, some young porpoises are naughty and playful next to their parents, and their lives are very happy and comfortable.
At about 9 o’clock in the morning, the sun rises, and the hot and hot weather makes the Yangtze finless porpoises unbearable. The finless porpoises quickly get out of the way with their cubs to enjoy the summer! However, there are still two heads that insist on leaving here until 11: 30.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, a cool breeze blew on the river surface, and a head of finless porpoise swam to the lower river surface of the Yangtze River Bridge from all directions, still lined up in a row, all swimming together in the same place, catching the white bream in the entrance, and there was no fight and contention. Everyone was very harmonious.
When the night falls at 6: 30 and the lights are on, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is like a "rainbow" flying north and south, colorful and colorful. The river shows colorful reflections under the light. Actually, many finless porpoises with black backs are surfing and swimming together, and they jump continuously when they are excited, which has attracted the attention of many citizens.
Mr. Wu, a volunteer to protect the finless porpoise, said that he has lived in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for a long time and is known as the "giant panda in the water". With the great protection of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, there are more fish in the riverside area of Nanjing, and the finless porpoises frequently appear active, which shows that the great protection has achieved remarkable results.
