Shark in the strange alternative
* Fang
"Beijing Evening News," November 17, 2007 published an article entitled "dignity - <Gabrin Sharks
The tragic maternal> book review "of the prose, said there is a very deep fierce called Gabrin
Shark shark bite people, sometimes called "devil shark." When it was not around struggling to get out into the net several times, the
Will explode into large and small fragments of themselves, would rather be destroyed do not want to be alive. So until
Now, no one had a complete Gabrin caught sharks, people often see nothing but magic
Ghost shark pieces only, very much like bricks or broken porcelain look like ... ... So the author exclaimed:
"Any study should be in the 'life' before the stop. How respect for life, reverence for life, as is
The most important studies of mankind. Gabrin shark guard fight to the death in front of the dignity of human beings, are not worth
Each claiming to be advanced human thinking? "
Have a reader asked me this is true? Is not like the lemmings will, "went about death," the transmission
As just repeated the baseless assertion that? This of course is fabricated, and the lemmings of legend is different is that it
Not foreign incoming ancient legend, but a scholar of domestic cooked up last year to
"Gabrin shark maternal sadness" as the topic published in several newspapers, although known as a "compilation"
But the foreign literature found no trace of this argument; Although the article claims that in 2004 described
The experience of a scientific study, but in fact is one hundred percent fantasy. But this one's ridiculous
Many people talk about but was deeply moved as a documentary and even criticized the scientific basis.
Gabrin shark and the "devil shark" Obviously, respectively, in English transliteration and meaning goblin shark
Translation, Gabrin Western folklore in one kind of ugly, mischievous monsters. Chinese name
Word is called the sword or sharp kiss kiss shark shark, referring to it as long dagger with a long nose, as prominent (moving
Material science known as "kiss"). The earliest record about it in 1898 in Yokohama, Japan caught a
Complete specimens, biologists know this for the first time the existence of this species. Since then she successively too
Pacific, caught one after another in various parts of the Atlantic. However, although shark sword kiss widely distributed, but once
Is considered very rare, each will have caught a record, to the end of last century, were reported captured
45.
In fact, the number of shark sword kiss imagine much more than people, the sample may be due to less
This shark is generally a few hundred meters deep in the living place, not easily captured. In May 1995 to 1996
In October this short more than a year, fishing with bottom gill nets in the Tokyo Submarine Canyon 100 to 300 meters
Caught a lot of sword deep kiss sharks - up to 125. [Note: The fishing was reported in 2003 cases]
In April 2003, within two weeks in the Taiwan Strait
Domain fishing to more than 100 shark sword kiss. Although the captured shark kiss the sword have been dead or soon
Died, but no one died in the explosion. But also captured alive. In January, the
Tokyo Bay with a sword kiss shark captured alive, was sent to Tokyo Ocean Park exhibition, died two days later. 2
Month, another shark captured alive kiss a sword in Japan, Tokai University Marine Science Museum of raising a week later
Before death. They also are not blew dead.
Of course, like all other animals, kiss the sword when the shark was caught, will struggle violently, trying to bite
Nets to escape, often struggling to make them in the head a certain deformation occurred, which has led to some
Sword kiss shark samples were treated as newly discovered species.
I do not know why the kiss was to fabricate a shark sword rather die than surrender what the "dignity." However, in
400 kinds of sharks are known, the sword does seem very strange shark kiss. It is the sword the only member of Section kiss shark.
Generally have a more prominent shark kiss, but few have as long a shark sword kiss so long
Kiss. A 3-meter-long shark sword kiss, kiss it can be more than half a meter long. Even more surprising is the shark a long sword with a kiss
Resilient beak. When the mouth close up, it looks like no other sharks too
Big difference, but the kiss trifle generous. But when it come out her mouth, out into the kiss underneath, looks to finish
All like a ugly prehistoric animals.
Previously captured sword kiss shark skin color is gray, as if nothing special. Until people
We see the shark is still alive kiss the sword, only to find that this actually is a pink shark. Not because it
Red pigment of the skin, but because it's skin is transparent, the body surface of blood capillaries
Emerged.
Sharks do not swim bladder, which is where the fat by the liver to regulate buoyancy. So there is a shark
Particularly the liver. But even so, the proportion of the shark body than water or large, rely on non-stop
To swim to avoid sinking into the sea. Sword kiss off than the general shark shark liver is much greater, accounting for its body
Weight of a quarter, which makes their body weight close to the water, swimming is not easy, if not sinking.
Sharks generally have a very well-developed muscles, fast, agile, unusual ferocity. But the sword
Soft kiss shark muscle weakness, but it also shows that the body of the other features of the slow pace of it. This shark
Fish will not pose a threat to people, to kill prey is also a problem. Of course the sword is not a vegetarian shark kiss
, And check its stomach food can know it to bony fish, squid and crustaceans for food. It
Is how to feed it? Is likely to be this: stay quietly in the dark center of the sea, through the kiss of
Receptor-rich electric reconnaissance around every move, once the prey is close, suddenly out of the mouth,
Open throat, a combination of both greatly expand the capacity of the throat, the throat to generate a large negative
Pressure, the game sucked, then retracted his mouth, a few rows of nails as teeth can bite prey. Who
Can think as much as by passive living sharks?
Each species has its own on the magic of, if you know them, there is no need to fabricate
Deceptive myth.

("China Youth Daily" 2007.12.12.)
But some poets would use Gabrin shark coined some of the "literary" works. Such as this. "Sadness maternal Gabrin shark", you only need to read what the attitude of other literary works can be read below, not as a scientific basis:
"Gabrin shark tragic maternal"
Johnson is a member of the United States Marine Association, the spring of 2004, he and his colleagues to participate in a marine study in the Gila, which accidentally hit a shark bigger than two Gabrin. When they capture a piece of baby sharks, the mother persistently bloody shark rescue son, the discovery of dead baby sharks, the mother shark blew more tragic way is to interpret a human from the animal between the maternal grief situation.
Shark
It was a sunny Wednesday in April, we had a line 12 people enter the performance of the submarine, and began our tour of the Atlantic seabed, who led 50-year-old University of Virginia biology professor Mr. Dai Meng, His warm and talkative, the study of marine life is very broad, almost every sea creature living habits and characteristics are very familiar.
Atlantic marine resources are very rich in the submarine through the place, we can see flocks of herring, cod and capelin ugly swim, crayfish and a variety of algae from time to time to come into view.
At this point, I suddenly found fish right of the window suddenly scattered and fled, the moment on those fish are omitted. Then two and a small shadow over tour. God, what kind of fish, shining gray metallic luster of skin, looks very ugly, cruel, cruel snout than the ferocious tiger sharks known for much longer but also sharp, sharp teeth that, like a the upright Sanjiaoguadao, coldness flashing, look very monstrous, chilling.
"Oh, my God, what is that? Like a kind not seen sharks? Look at that sharp teeth, yes, they are definitely a shark." Gila two and looks at the window, mouth where murmured.
"I know," Mr. Dai Meng said excitedly, "This is Gabrin shark, very precious, we have never had a complete specimen Gabrin sharks, too hard won, this time we have actually been met. "
Just then, one could hear a lot of people are shouting: "Great, quick to follow them, the photos we captured them, this is definitely a mother shark with its children, perhaps we can that small sharks Full area to land up. ready to withdraw network. "Gila shouted, an eager look, wait for them to immediately rushed into the sea to hold that small sharks come.
At this point, Mr. Dai Meng vigorous voice sounded strong, everyone quieted down immediately, "We will follow this shark to see if there is an opportunity to catch them, but we should not hold too much hope, for many years, also sharks can not complete a Gabrin preserved. Their temperament is very staunch, we can only hope that this small shark, if really successful, then we will make the visit of Gabrin shark research breakthrough of progress. "submarine quietly followed behind them, waiting to capture time.
Wife clearly that small sharks mother was born shortly after it Jinjindegen with its mother, always careful to hide her mother's body below. Easily frightened little guy, always cautious, a little shadow of fear will make it.
I suddenly strange, usually every shark mating time, at least to give birth to seven or more small sharks, but sharks, how with only one child?
Mr. Dai Meng explained: "Sharks are unable to protect their children, they also have many enemies, after they are born when small sharks will have to quickly adapt to the environment, learn to take care of yourself, otherwise you will have eaten the risk of this small sharks did not seem born a few days, it's brothers and sisters are definitely gone, so we must be careful, it's mother will do their best to protect it. "
We are watching their every move. Piece of the mother shark love their children very much, it slowed down from time to time, and other small sharks swim over, and take it to a special place to fish, but does not eat its own, where waited patiently, When it can already see a small shark prey fish quickly and accurately, the performance is very happy, suddenly rushed a bit, swallowed a lot of cod. The original mother, has long been hungry, in order to teach children to hold back the hungry predator only, not random attacks.
Small sharks quickly eat, and beginning around the mother Chejiao, it no longer had to pay attention to the fish swim around, even plump sturgeon also dismissed, apparently angered the mother shark. When a small shark tail playfully swim next to her mother when the mother suddenly implemented a strict family laws. Suddenly I saw the mother shark's tail swept a small shark bit, the poor unsuspecting small sharks, suddenly dumped into a reef, many of us could not help but exclaimed, for fear any accident occur, fortunately, little guy was not injured, but looks are not scared of light, it slowly around his mother, his eyes revealing look wronged, but still in front of the mother shark swimming.
"This is the mother shark in the education their children," Gila said, "It requires their children to learn predator of the road as soon as possible, know the area and catch fish fish characteristics, can be independent as soon as possible." She looked at us, but also added: "It was kind of smart sharks."
Tragic rescue
We slowly approached the little Gabrin submarine shark, we eagerly awaited. Mr. Dai Meng the camera lens when a small shark shouted out "let!", One could hear muffled "boom" is heard, a big net overwhelming to impinge upon two sharks, small sharks, the mother shark does not respond quickly It quilt into the network.
Female shark has time gone, we was very happy, rose slowly dragging a small shark to return to port, the little guy in the net very disturbed swimming, tail wildly paddling in an attempt to break free nets, but how could it succeed? The more it struggled, the more tightly wrapped in nets put it, we separated the thick steel plate, can almost hear the sound of its distress.
"It's mother will come back to save it, we must be careful." Gila more calm this time, she looked out the window nervously, waiting for the mother shark to appear.
Submarine suddenly shook violently, many people face suddenly became pale, and I even felt dizzy, so finally calmed down, I found that out the window is undergoing a difficult rescue. Piece of shark rushed back home, it is hard to bite with fishing nets, small sharks to see her mother, is desperately struggling in the inside, they Zuidou have been fishing down the assassination of online pierced, blood ray ray to float in water, the red one.
In the case of tear nets without success, the shark finally found the mother in front of this monster with ill intent, it angrily attacked the submarine. First, the head violently hitting the submarine, it continues to attempt to prevent an increase, followed by frantically rattling around, it is extremely sharp teeth flash from the window again and again, that big mouth as if to curse something, like a is desperately begging for something.
I watched it again and again failed attack, I feel if there is sufficient capacity, it would have torn the whole submarine. It found those fish towing behind the submarine, only what will they chew into the mud. Gila wail over his eyes: "Oh, my pearl fish, ah, ah poor pearl fish."
We continue to rise, they can already feel a little bit of water to increase in brightness. Female shark attack and therefore become more ferocious. Because it hit the hull turbulent up, people started vomiting. "Hold on, to speed up the rate of increase, we must succeed." Mr. Dai Meng shouted.
Piece of the mother shark see no hope of rescue, the children turned to look at it, it slavishly followed us and watched their children struggle in the network effortlessly, it is clear that this did not birth a few days the little guy has no energy , the slow movement a lot. Suddenly the mother shark opened his Xuepentaikou, fiercely bite to its child ...
"My God, it already knows our intentions, it is to chew a small shark, let us complete it away." A man wearing a white T-shirt shouted.
Us can to stop this atrocity, in other words, none of us can think of the mother shark would do such things, we crowded in a small window, watched this crazy mother fiercely tear across the net biting its children.
Small shark nets wrapped tightly, almost unable to move, only to let the mother to his chew. Turbulent blood to spray out of a red sea in the past, we see a piece of meat from the fishing nets spread out. Small sharks soon motionless, but her mother still did not give up its bite, it Zhangzhedazui, teeth covered with blood, kept biting nets in the body. It also happy with just the water flow in the body, is now riddled with appalling.
We are stunned, we have forgotten the hull of the violent shaking, eyes and looks at the other end the mother shark and watch it to their children mercilessly tear.
"Love" suicide
The back of the small Gabrin shark desire completely shattered, we had to return, it would only have a small shark nets in a large part of the body, but because they can not cast the net, we had to drag it forward.
Piece of the mother is still the relentless shark followed us. There are several reasons because of the water, a small shark's tail swing a bit, it's mother at first ecstatic rush to think that their child has come alive, until the discovery is the illusion, but when they double up angrily tearing to chew a small shark fins have a. It appears that it has been this way with us, until it can no longer move up. Even once, holding it tightly to nets in an attempt to prevent the submarine forward, but the result was in vain.
The surrounding landscape has become increasingly clear, shallow waters where we can see the fish, the sea must have a good sun. Female shark action more difficult. The deep-sea fish living in the shallow water environment can not tolerate, I think it will soon give up with us, back to its own territory to go.
"Look, there are a few meters to the surface a we can." Shouting was pleased to be when it was found that the female shark still with stubborn with the submarine, while in the baby shark swimming in the body, but it swelling up like the body, become very mast, a pair of fierce little eyes are also some outward protrusions, looks terrible.
Mr. Dai Meng mother shark can not help but look at this body Yi Chan, involuntarily retreated back: "Oh, God, it needs to do, What would it do?"
Voice I hear, only see out the window "boom" is heard, the submarine has been intense shock, wait until we can no longer Huiguo Shen outward looking, all around the sea has been reddened by the blood, everywhere a a block of meat.
Piece of the mother shark committed suicide! It exploded into countless fragments of their own, scattered in this ocean.
Extremely quiet cabin, until ashore, no one spoke. |
