When I saw the video uploaded by a well-meaning person, I saw several researchers who had already gone from youth to middle and old age, and had already done a lot in other areas of the world of marine animal research.
Seeing the video of two whale sharks swimming side by side, one of them surrounded by many baby whale sharks, it seems you two have returned.
Time flies when you have kids.
It's unbelievable that you two little ones are still together.
Hsu Chiao-chiao: I also find it incredible.
As the children grow up, Xu Qiaoqiao can feel it a lot, especially as the new year begins and the children grow bigger.
This is the first time whale sharks have given birth to so many babies. It's true that live birth and oviparous birth are different. No, whale sharks aren't entirely oviparous, since the babies hatch inside their bodies.
Three hundred...
Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh. There are only a few now. It feels like she'll have to have several more this year. She suddenly remembered the novels with multiple babies that she read when she was in modern times and was reading with her pet owner.
Although they are different species, who can compare to her!
However, since they are oviparous, they don't hurt.
Xu Qiaoqiao accepted this matter very well. Not being in pain is better than anything else. Although the baby isn't close to her, it doesn't matter.
She loved them very much, just like everyone else. Because there were so many children, Xu Qiaoqiao named them after numbers. The first one born was named Yi (一), and so on down to the next child.
Each whale shark has a different star map on its back, and Xu Qiaoqiao has memorized the star map of each one so that when you are able to protect yourselves and leave me and Dad, I can still remember you.
Time flies, and before you know it, summer has arrived. At this time, Jun Qi once again pestered Xu Qiaoqiao to go out. Although the Caribbean Sea is an old haunt, he felt it would be better to go out for a walk.
In addition, this trip allows them to teach the children about the migration route, making a loop so that when they return, the children can leave.
Just like he was back then.
Upon receiving Jun Qi's message, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly realized that it was true. If it were just her and Jun Jun, then staying here would be fine, but there were also children.
These children don't understand anything, and we can't let them lead us astray. We still need to understand the concept of migration.
After all, I'll be living alone from now on, and staying in one area of the sea all the time isn't good for me; it could be dangerous.
Xu Qiaoqiao: Of course, I am an exception, and Junjun is an exception, but you are not exceptions, so you don't need to follow our example.
Just teach them everything that needs to be taught.
Having made up their minds, the two of them left the area three days later.
Xu Qiaoqiao had no concept of migration, only knowing that it involved traveling around the sea, but she had no idea what the patterns were.
She swam beside Jun Qi, her pectoral fins trembling slightly: Jun Jun, do you know which migration route to take next?
This is related to the child's education, and their previous methods cannot be applied to this situation at all.
The two of them were currently located in Venezuela, at the edge of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, where the baby whale sharks around them were consciously observing everything around them.
Although it is young, less than a year old, it is still very perceptive of the surrounding sea environment and other conditions.
Jun Qi leaned over and kissed Xu Qiaoqiao's lips, waving his pectoral fins: Just swim with me.
Xu Qiaoqiao: Okay.
Starting from Venezuela, the journey continued eastward into the Atlantic Ocean, before turning south. It lingered for several days in the waters around Uruguay, feeding and replenishing its energy in the harbors there.
While doing this, Xu Qiaoqiao could feel that the children were very excited. The outside world was new and exciting to them: the wind blowing across the sea, the azure sky, the birds that often flew by, and the unfamiliar ocean...
Xu Qiaoqiao gently shook her pectoral fins: Babies, aren't you happy?
The smallest of these cubs is only about 40 centimeters tall, while the largest, one of the odd ones, is close to a meter tall, though they haven't reached that height yet.
Unlike newborn clinging to their mothers, these children, under their father's guidance, have begun to march independently.
However, the migration route is still unknown, so this trip is to make up for this.
Upon receiving Xu Qiaoqiao's message, Jun Qi glanced sideways and moved closer to her, wanting to know what the children were feeling.
"happy."
"Wow, the sea here is a bit cold."
"I'm so happy, thank you Mom and Dad."
"I'm happy, but I feel like I've grown up."
"Me too, me too, I also want to grow up."
"When I grow up, I'll be able to swim to very, very far places by myself."
"I also want to grow up, just like my mom and dad."
"I'll be happier when I grow up."
...
These little guys chattered away, and Xu Qiaoqiao even acted as a teacher, instructing them on how to communicate using their pectoral fins.
Perhaps fish are truly gifted; Xu Qiaoqiao only taught them this simple way of communication once, and they learned it and used it even better than Xu Qiaoqiao herself.
Xu Qiaoqiao: ...
Because I'm not a real fish!
How could I possibly research something like this?
These kids are noisy, but surprisingly, Jun Qi, like Xu Qiaoqiao, enjoys their noisy chatter; it feels lively.
Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head and met Jun Qi's gaze. She saw Jun Qi's little gestures and a slight smile appeared in her eyes.
At first, I didn't like being with these little ones, but now, who's secretly teaching them how to communicate and escape?
Hehe~
Of course, it's our proud and arrogant father, Junqi!
Jun Qi naturally noticed Xu Qiaoqiao's smile. He blinked, tilted his head, and seemed a little embarrassed, his tail swishing a few times uncomfortably.
Tsk tsk, I just hope they learn how to save their lives as soon as possible.
Jun Qi conveyed this message to Xu Qiaoqiao, hoping she wouldn't misunderstand. He really didn't like these kids; they were too weak.
Xu Qiaoqiao nodded to indicate that she understood, but whether she would actually agree with Jun Qi's statement was another matter.
Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's decisive response, Jun Qi was also a little confused. He felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
