American novelist Melville's novel "White Whale" once described the story of Captain Aha in order to chase and kill White Whale Mobi Dick, and eventually his story with the White Whale. In that novel, the white whale is actually a fierce white flavor whale.
Recently, a real white whale appeared in the Seine River in France. 80 rescuers carried out the 800 kg of white whale for a week of rescue. A veterinarian was euthanized to the whale.
White whale is lost in the Seine River
It was implemented in the process of rescue
This white whale was first discovered on August 2nd, from the Atlantic Ocean along the Sina River's entrance to the port of Heroule Afl Port, and was stopped by a sluice to the road just 80 kilometers away from Paris. At this time, at this time, at this time It has a distance of more than 140 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean.
At the beginning, animal protection workers and scientists hoped to guide the white whale back to the sea through a ship, so they used the inflatable boat to navigate the White Whale, but the White Whale was not moved. Not only that, when people discover it, it is already very thin and in a state of malnutrition. Rescuers try to feed it frozen catfish and live catfish, but this white whale has always refused to eat.
Scientific researchers even thought of injection vitamins for White Whales to maintain its physical fitness, but the worse physical condition of the White Whale made everyone very worried, so I thought of the anesthesia of the White Whale after the train quickly transported it to a pool by the nano -bottom seaside. In the feeding for a period of time, let go of nature.
On August 10, the plan was implemented. The 80 rescue workers took nearly 6 hours to hang the whale weighing 800 kilograms out of the water overnight and moved to a carrier. After the White Whale was hung out of the water, a dozen veterinaries were waiting for it for treatment on the ship, and then sent to a refrigerated truck.
Unexpectedly, the White Whales had dyspnea on refrigerated trucks and a variety of complications. Veterinary doctors implemented euthanasia for it to end its pain.
3000 kilometers away from habitat
Human activities have a huge impact on it
The white whale population is mainly distributed in the shallow seas near the Arctic Circle. It has seasonal migration behaviors, but it will still not be too far from the Arctic circle. It has a good adaptability for the Arctic ice floating environment. Where the sea surface. Its most famous habitat and reproductive place in Canada, and the recent habitat from France is more than 3,000 kilometers from the SavalBard Peninsula in Norway.
Can the white whale have the ability to survive in fresh water? Why does this white whale appear in the Seine River?
In fact, although the White Whales can live in freshwater for a while, the longer it is active in freshwater, the more dangerous the white whale is. Due to the problem of river pollution and noise, it has a killing effect on the White Whales. In addition, there is no enough food to hunt the White Whales, it is easy to cause White Whales to be injured and death.
And why this white whale is lost, it is likely to be because of human activities. Some research reports pointed out that human activities in the Arctic Circle have become increasingly frequent, and ships, fishery, and other human activities have impact on whale communication and navigation capabilities. In order to find food and to find spouses, some animals can only take risks to a more distant south.
In fact, in recent years, "unreasonable" creatures have appeared in the European river, including harp seals, beard seals, and dew whales, which have been far from their habitats.
This year, the whale has appeared in the Seine River for three consecutive times. In addition to the 10 -meter -long whale discovered in June, the whale was not traveled. whale. However, the killer whale had a serious illness when he found it, and died in the river a few days later.
Similar stories also happened in the UK. In May last year, a small beard whale was stranded in the Thames. It was injured for the second time during the rescue process.
The highest record of the current survival in the Tamsui River occurred in 2018. The little white whale "Benny" survived in the Thames for more than 3 months, and eventually disappeared into the river water.
