A calm night, an endless sea, with the evening breeze occasionally gliding across the surface, everything is very peaceful.
Thick fog spread and diffused, and the white mist appeared even more hazy under the soft moonlight.
Under the hazy moonlight, a cute little whale shark was swimming slowly on the surface of the sea. Her tail swayed gently in a graceful arc, and the sound of splashing water was particularly clear in the quiet night.
It's winter now, and you'd expect some snow, but here the temperature has only dropped slightly, without any major changes.
I'm so bored. When will I ever grow up?
Or perhaps she was much larger than she is now. She's all alone now, without a single friend she knows. The fish here have extremely low intelligence and can't communicate at all.
Xu Qiaoqiao is so worried.
It's not easy to find an animal with a long lifespan, so she should meet Junjun sooner rather than later, so that she will have more opportunities to spend time together. Moreover, she is currently very, very, very much looking forward to meeting Junqi.
I wonder what kind of personality he has, and whether he is a whale shark like her.
That's not bad either, but if whale sharks were to have babies...
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered this matter; it seems that female whale sharks give birth to babies in a different way.
Unlike whales.
After all, they are different kinds of things.
She realized that if she wanted a baby, she would have to... lay eggs?
Xu Qiaoqiao instantly got goosebumps all over her body.
She paused in her swimming, turned over, looked at the bright moon, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: it would be nice if Junjun wasn't the same kind of person.
Wow, that's a bit hard to imagine.
Whale sharks are ovoviviparous animals. Female whale sharks will leave their eggs inside their bodies until the pups grow to 40 to 60 centimeters in length, at which point they will be released. However, not all pups are born at the same time.
Female whale sharks retain the male's penis and, after a long period of stability, reproduce pups.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know much about whale sharks; she learned about them from watching educational videos about the ocean with Xiaoxue.
But she could still know these simple facts; she didn't want to carry all that stuff around the world and then give birth to her baby in a safe place.
Just like that whale shark mother.
Thinking of this, Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little melancholy again. She remembered her whale shark mother who abandoned her at birth. She had no memory of her mother, only her mother's huge body, which was just like that of an ordinary whale shark.
If we meet again, I probably won't recognize each other.
Xu Qiaoqiao swam freely in the sea, turned over in the water, and her increasingly large body quickly made her the most prestigious big fish in the area.
No fish dares to mess with her.
Although it's not even two meters high.
However, she was already quite conspicuous in this sea area, and the water here was so clear that sunlight could easily reach the seabed, so Xu Qiaoqiao's presence could not be hidden.
Once, some people who came here to dive and play accidentally captured the image of this baby whale shark. Although it was blurry, its square, flat mouth was unmistakable.
The news of a baby whale shark appearing at Bellesberg Reef spread quickly, attracting many wildlife enthusiasts eager to see the calf.
Judging from the photos, this baby whale shark is about 3 to 5 years old, and its body length is estimated to be over one meter, but not even two meters. This is really unexpected.
To date, the number of whale sharks continues to decline, and many secrets about them remain to be uncovered. Meanwhile, a juvenile whale shark has become a permanent resident at Bellesberg Reef, which has generated great excitement among the community.
The first group to arrive here was a small team of wildlife documentary photographers. Calling it a small team isn't quite accurate, as it consisted of only two people. These two humans were fully equipped with various diving gear. Fortunately, the waters here aren't very deep, so the dangers they encountered weren't particularly high.
After putting on his wetsuit and goggles and completing all the preparations, George grabbed a camera, gave his companions an OK sign, and went into the sea.
His companion Ross immediately returned to the screen, carefully observing the footage his companion had filmed in the sea, while also pointing out directions and explaining the surrounding situation to his companion.
"I wonder if we'll be able to see that adorable baby whale shark today."
Ross plopped down on the low stool, watching the screen with great anticipation. 3-5 years old, still in early childhood.
But several days passed without any results. Apart from the beautiful corals, colorful tropical fish, and some rare species, there was no trace of the whale shark.
They were almost ready to give up.
...
After all the twists and turns, this winter is almost over, and soon we will be entering the second year.
Xu Qiaoqiao was unaware that she had been exposed. She had been quite happy here for the past three years. There were no particularly fierce animals, and her food was very simple, which allowed her to survive to this age.
The babbling is not bad.
She looked at her own size, gently swayed her tail, opened her mouth wide, and sucked all the little tuna into her mouth, blowing bubbles with satisfaction.
The weather was nice today. Xu Qiaoqiao slowly surfaced from the sea. She looked at the vast blue ocean that stretched out to the surrounding area.
