1740. Indiscriminate sea otters

These little guys have small round heads, small round ear shells, and a round fat body. They have dense short hairs, yellow or brown in color, short forelimbs, wide and thick at the hind limbs, and a large flat tail. The big tail swung left and right, like a rudder, controlling their direction of progress, and then swam happily in the sea, like enlarged capybara.

Qin Shiou recognized it at a glance. This is not a capybara, but a sea otter. There is no trace of sea otter in the Daqin fishing ground, and I don’t know how they came from.

Sea otters are rare animals and are only found in the cold waters of the North Pacific Ocean. They go from northern Japan to the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, eastward through the Aleutian Islands and the southern coast of the Gulf of Alaska, along the Pacific coast of North America to Baja California, and are rare in the Atlantic Ocean.

I roughly counted it with the consciousness of the sea god. There were a lot of sea otters coming to the fishing ground, with more than fifty appearances. The big sea otters were carrying small sea otters. Some were lying lazily on the beach to bask in the sun, combing each other's hair with their forelimbs, and some were diving.

There are scallops at the bottom of the sea. After the diving sea otters caught it, they hugged them on their chests like children holding corn. They swam ashore and put them in their mouths. They bit the scallops into pieces in a few moments, and then took out the tender meat inside and swallowed them into their mouths.

Seeing Qin Shiou, Shaq waved and pointed to several sea otters basking in the sun on the beach and said, "Look, who has come to our territory?"

Qin Shiou pretended to be surprised and said: "≥门" ≥门" ↘ "God, are these sea otters? Where did they come from?"

Shaq said: "I guess I swam over from St. Johns. I read the news two days ago that an animal transport ship was overturned by a large ship at the port. The animals inside either drowned or ran away. The news said there were some sea otters inside."

After hearing this, Qin Shiou suddenly realized that he had read the news. Winnie also taught her daughter to draw a cross to pray to God.

The bull took a few fishermen to the boat and pulled a fishing net down. Qin Shiou asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shaq replied for them: "We want to capture these guys and send them to St. Johns."

Qin Shiou said reluctantly: "Do you want to return it to that master?"

He saw that these sea otters looked very cute, swimming around in the water one by one, but they were a little dirty, with a lot of seaweed, water plants and fish and shrimp parts on their hair. So he wanted to use the waves to clean them up and see if they could leave them in the fishing ground.

He believed that his daughter would like these little guys, which would also cultivate her love.

However, sea otters are protected animals in Canada and are protected with great strength. They cannot capture and trade such animals privately. The transport ship belongs to an animal protection organization. At that time, they wanted to transport a group of sea otters to the aquarium in St. Johns, but were crushed by a giant ship.

Shaq replied, "No, no, let's find which part of St. Johns is responsible for managing the sea otters and then hand them over. Anyway, they can't be left in the fishing ground. These little guys are very edible and will destroy the fishing ground."

Qin Shiou smiled like this. He thought Shaq and others had the excellent character of earning money and wanted to capture these sea otters and return them to the owner of the transport ship.

"It's okay, guys. Let them stay in the fishing grounds, just a few sea otters, how much can they eat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fishermen laughed playfully, and the bull said, "Captain. What do you say? How much can they eat? Well, I tell you. They can eat one-third of their own weight in a day! They can eat one of themselves in three days!"

"The most important thing is, Boss, do you know what they eat? They like to eat sea urchins! Those light pineapple sea urchins you treat as baby are the food they have. Think about it, these sea otters are Alaska sea otters, which can grow to seventy to eighty pounds, and they can eat so many light pineapple sea urchins in three days." The sea monster added with exaggerated arms.

Qin Shiou smiled and pointed at him, saying, "Don't think I don't know. They not only eat sea urchins, but also like to eat seashells, lobsters and crabs, as well as seaweed and small fish, which are also their food, so they have no effect on the fishing ground."

He was the owner of the fishing grounds, and the fishermen did not refute his decision, so when he said he wanted to keep these little guys, the fishermen didn't say anything and mentioned the fishing net and worked on the boat.

The sea otters were very timid. They were afraid of humans. The fishermen kept watching and frightened them. So the big ones dragged the small ones. They rushed into the sea water and stretched out their little heads to look at the people on the shore quietly.

When the fishermen left, Qin Shiou input some sea god energy to them to improve their physique, and at the same time, he used the waves to rush their bodies to wash away the dirty things on the fur, and waved his hand to signal them to come ashore.

The fat sea otters seem to have no good feelings for humans. Even though they absorbed the energy of the sea god, they did not climb up obediently when they saw Qin Shiou waving. Instead, some seals in the distance saw Qin Shiou coming to the beach, swaying his chubby body and gathering over.

However, they did not refuse to rinse the waves. Instead, after several waves, these guys reacted and stretched out their bodies to let the sea water wash their bodies to take away the dirty things on their bodies.

Qin Shiou can understand the fear of sea otters for humans. These little guys were caught here from Alaska and were originally sent to the aquarium for breeding. I believe that these sea otters must have been frightened a lot during their capture, so they were full of caution against humans, animals that were walking on both feet.

Thinking of this, Qin Shiou used the consciousness of the sea god to roll up the undercurrent and rushed some small crabs and scallops to the beach, and took them in his hand to feed the sea otters.

Finally, the sea otter mustered up the courage to approach it. This was a silly fat guy. He came up to him and sniffed the smell of crabs in Qin Shiou's hand with his nose, and then stared at Qin Shiou with his round eyes.

Qin Shiou stretched out his hand. Instead of gnawing with his mouth, the sea otter stretched out a small, chubby claw, pinched the crab and sent it to his mouth. Gaba Gaba chewed and ate it.

Seeing this, Qin Shiou laughed. He picked up two more oysters and handed them to the fat sea otter. The fat sea otter was helpless. The oyster shell in the fishing ground was very thick. It bit it twice with its teeth and did not open the oysters. It placed it on the beach, pinching one with its front paw and smashing the one on the ground.

"So smart." Qin Shiou reached out to touch its furry little head, and finally felt oil. The fur of the sea otter has abundant oil content, which gives them excellent waterproofing ability and avoids the fur getting weight and wasting extra energy when acting.

Seeing that Qin Shiou did not hurt his compatriots but gave it food, the other sea otters finally couldn't hold on and leaned up staggeringly, blinking their little eyes and looking at Qin Shiou's palm.

Qin Shiou divided them one by one, but these sea otters did not fight for them. They took the scallops and crabs and put them in their mouths and bit them. After biting them, they took them out, used their claws to pull the pieces away, and then sucked the tender meat inside with their mouths to eat. (To be continued.)
