Going to Beijing, in the study of the Xiao family.
"It's not impossible, but we need..."
The butler's voice was very low when he spoke next.
Except for Fourth Master Xiao and himself.
Even the security guards standing at the door couldn't hear what the two talked about inside.
At this moment, Ye Yuan was on the North Pacific Ocean.
Even more impossible to think of.
His seemingly subtle move was seen through by others at a glance.
At this moment, he was putting the creatures he had just caught from the sea on the deck.
"Holy shit! Boss, are you going into the sea to catch a Godzilla?"
After Ma Hua saw this creature that looked exactly like Godzilla in the movie.
He screamed in surprise.
The rest of the crew were no better than him.
After seeing clearly what this creature looks like.
The crew members rubbed their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.
Isn’t Godzilla a monster that only appears in movies? Does such a creature really exist in reality?
No wonder they were confused, because this very real Godzilla appeared right in front of them.
How can you tell them to treat it rationally?
“I usually ask you to read more books, but you don’t.
I don't even go to the library when I have time.
I think the library on our ship was built in vain. "
Ye Yuan saw the performance of the crew.
First, I made a few complaints.
Then he leisurely took the drinking water You Zhiyong denied and took a sip before speaking again:
"This thing is called a marine iguana.
The prototype of the Godzilla movie monster was designed based on him.
You don’t even know this, don’t say you are the sailors brought out by me, Ye Yuan. "
Ye Yuan rudely criticized these unambitious subordinates.
As for the marine iguana, Ye Yuan had only seen pictures of it in the university library.
Today was the first time he saw the real thing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone down to catch this little guy himself.
Adult male marine iguanas have an average body length of 0.75 meters and a weight of about 1.5 kilograms.
The average female body length is 0.6 meters and the weight is 0.5 kilograms.
The body of this reptile is relatively long, with the longest reaching more than 150 centimeters.
Marine iguanas on different islands also vary in size.
The largest ones are found on Fernandina and Isabela islands.
The one on the island of Genovesa is the smallest.
On land, marine iguanas are clumsy.
But they are very flexible in water.
It can use its strong tail to swim.
Unlike other lizards, it has the ability to live and forage in the sea.
Marine iguanas mainly live on rocky seashores, but can also be found in swamps and mangroves.
At the same time, the marine iguana is the only iguana in the world that can adapt to ocean life.
Like fish, they can swim freely in the sea.
Drink sea water and eat seaweed and other aquatic plants.
It is precisely because his appearance is very similar to Godzilla in the movie.
Therefore, many people call him Mini Godzilla.
Don’t think that the marine iguana, which is dark, ugly and ferocious in appearance, is such a ferocious species.
Anyone who knows about it will know that this guy is a vegetarian.
He feeds on seaweed and some aquatic plants.
Even more interesting is that marine iguanas can automatically adjust their heart rate.
This guy can stop his heart immediately if there is danger around him.
And the stopping time can be as long as more than forty minutes.
As a cold-blooded animal, basking in the sun is an indispensable thing for marine iguanas.
He will use his black skin to quickly absorb heat, allowing his body temperature to reach 40 degrees.
And the most interesting thing is.
If you are lucky enough to see a group of marine iguanas basking in the sun together at the beach.
can be discovered.
They are very religious when basking in the sun.
Totally a devout pilgrim.
And basking in the sun is just the beginning for them.
After basking in the sun, marine iguanas usually spray their noses to remove excess salt from their bodies.
As long as a marine iguana snorts, that's fine.
But usually marine iguanas are a 'you squirt, I squirt' phenomenon.
For a time, there will be a scene of snot flying among the marine iguanas.
And it is precisely because of this mutual spraying that the 'snot', which usually contains salt, usually stays on the body of the companion.
When these salts evaporate, white crystals will form.
Not only do these 'armors' look good, they also provide protection.
Looking at the marine iguana, which was surrounded by the crew and had to lie motionless on the deck while pretending to be dead, Ye Yuan also smiled and shook his head.
If I hadn't understood this guy's habits, I might have been deceived by this little thing.
Wasn't there someone who was fooled?
As a marine iguana lay on the deck pretending to be dead.
Ma Hua anxiously ran to Ye Yuan:
"Boss, I hit it with my fingers, and it died.
It’s really not my fault! "
Ma Hua said with a depressed look.
Such a fun thing was caught by Ye Yuan himself.
As a result, he died after doing this, and he felt depressed at the moment.
"Damn it, that guy is pretending to be dead.
You find a sea tank to raise him first. This thing is not as simple as you think.
His ability to play dead is top notch. "
Ye Yuan laughed and cursed.
"Uh... is there such a thing? Why is the lizard still pretending to be dead?"
Ma Hua scratched his unclear head and said.
"That's a marine iguana. Do you think it's an ordinary lizard?"
Ma Hua looked into Ye Yuan's eyes.
After confirming that the boss was not making fun of him, he left angrily.
He didn't quite believe Ye Yuan's words.
Have you ever seen an animal pretending to be dead without its heart beating?
But since the boss said this, he could only do it obediently.
Otherwise, the consequences would be very serious.
Ye Yuan looked at Ma Hua's back and could only helplessly shake his head.
For the knowledge about marine iguanas, let alone him.
Those are the experts who study marine iguanas.
So far, they have not unified their opinions.
Some zoologists believe that marine iguanas evolved from terrestrial iguanas.
During the long process of evolution, their morphology has undergone a series of changes.
Most notably, their tails are much longer than those of terrestrial iguanas.
This allows them to swim freely in the water.
The claws are also sharper.
And it's hook-shaped.
In this way, they can not only cling firmly to the rocks on the shore, but also avoid being swept away by big waves.
It can also crawl steadily around on the seafloor with strong currents, looking for food.
Another group of scholars believes that marine iguanas are derived from an extinct marine reptile.
It has nothing to do with the current lizards on Blue Star.
Because of the origin of the marine iguana, two groups of scholars have launched a heated debate that has lasted for decades.
Until now, no one can convince the other.
This also leads to the mystery of the marine iguana's life experience.
