    虎鲸的好兄弟——伪虎鲸

       虎鲸有一个无论是外形还是食性甚至是名字都极为相似好兄弟,伪虎鲸。他们生活在同一片大洋(因为活动范围都十分广大,除了某些实在不能住鲸的地方,基本都有他们两兄弟的身影),这不正是一种生物多样性的表现么。

尽管伪虎鲸不如虎鲸出名,但依然是一种十分特别的物种。伪虎鲸在兴奋时,会优雅地跃离水面,用鲸尾击浪。但他十分白给,因为这种令鲸激动的事情常常是他们搁浅的元凶。2016年11月,两条百多斤伪虎鲸搁浅在福建省莆田市秀屿区埭头镇海滩,参与救助人员努力把稍大的那只先拉出去放生,结果大鲸不肯游走,游到一半又返身回来,还往沙滩上冲。村民只好一部分村民照顾稍小那只,一部分照顾大鲸。大家把小鲸抬至水中低洼处,抱到大鲸的边上,两条鲸鱼才肯一起动。但是这种与虎鲸一样憨憨的鲸鱼因为自身营养价值比较高,且一身都是宝,又被海洋污染横插一刀,如今已然成为国家二级保护动物。在保护生物多样性的路上,我们还需努力。

The FRIEND of the killer whale:the false killer whale.

The killer whale has a good brother, the pseudo killer whale, which is very similar in appearance, food, and even name. They live in the same ocean (because they have a very wide range of activities, except for some places where whales can't live, they basically have their two brothers), isn't this a manifestation of biodiversity.

Although the pseudo killer whale is not as famous as the killer whale, it is still a very special species. When the false killer whale is excited, it will gracefully jump out of the water and hit the waves with its tail. But he was very free, because this kind of excitement is often the culprit for their stranding. In November 2016, two false killer whales of more than 100 catties ran aground on the beach of Daitou Town, Xiuyu District, Putian City, Fujian Province. The rescuers worked hard to pull the larger one out and release it first, but the big whale refused to swim. Halfway through the swim, he returned and rushed to the beach. The villagers had to take care of the smaller one and some of the big whales. Everyone lifted the little whale to a low-lying place in the water and hugged it to the side of the big whale before the two whales were willing to move together. However, this kind of whale, which is as naive as the killer whale, has high nutritional value, is a treasure, and has been cut across by ocean pollution. Now it has become a national second-class protected animal. On the way to protect biodiversity, we still need to work hard.
