307. Lake and Sea Beach (6/10)
Zhang Jinjie regrets: "Oh."
"Oh, you're so huh, you row your boat well, you're scaring your father to death." Lao Yang complained dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Jinjie ignored him and pointed to the front excitedly and shouted: "What kind of bird is that? Wow, it's so beautiful, are they all red, can they be said to be the legendary one-"
Yang Shubao looked back and saw a group of flamingos flying past the water gracefully, so he said, "Yes, this is the legendary African flamingos."
Zhang Jinjie smiled awkwardly: "What I want to talk about is turkey."
"roll!"
Agatha brought the drinks, and she carefully unscrewed the bottle cap of the drinks and distributed them: "The weather is hotter, drink some water."
"Thank you, you are such a considerate girl, so cute." Zhang Jinjie smiled.
Yang Shubao changed to Chinese and deliberately mocked him: "Oh, where did the male peacock come from? His butt is so high. Oh, it turns out that he has hemorrhoids, and I thought it was a courtship."
Zhang Jinjie smiled and looked at him, and a few words broke out from his teeth: "Damn you, my son!"
Seeing that he stopped rowing, Nicole also stopped her hand and said with a smile: "The underground river not only brings mud and sand but also nutrients. The nutrients nourish microorganisms, microorganisms nourish algae, and algae nourish fish, shrimps and hippos. There are hippos here, we can look for it."
She should continue to say that fish and shrimp raise water birds, and water birds raise crocodiles.
The four people did not find the hippo, but found a crocodile appeared quietly on the river surface. It opened its mouth wide and closed its eyes slowly floated on the water surface, like a thick piece of dead wood.
Zhang Jinjie pulled the camera closer to take a photo, looked at it and said frustratedly: "Oh, no, the light is not good."
Yang Shubao said: "You guys take a look at the crocodile close up."
Nicole shook her head: "Don't, it's too dangerous. The crocodile may not attack us actively, but it may knock over our ship in panic."
Uncle Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, I will protect you, I will definitely be able to."
Hearing him say this, Nicole smiled gently and began to row in the direction of the crocodile.
Zhang Jinjie looked at it with a gaze: "Nicole, you spoil this grandson too much. Wait, if you say 'protect you' instead of 'protect you', then who will protect me?"
Yang Shubao did what he said, but he did not let the three of them take risks easily, because the crocodile was scared when he saw a boat floating, so he got into the water and ran away.
This is the real scene in nature. Unless it is a breeding period or is very hungry, wild animals are very afraid of humans and generally do not attack actively.
After all, humans weigh more than 100 kilograms and are also large animals.
After the crocodile disappeared, there were no large animals on the river surface for a while, but there were many birds, such as pelicans, cormorants, sun birds, Buddhist monks, stilts, red storks, etc. The most were seagulls, and many seagulls made crisp sounds looking for food.
Many water birds can either glide leisurely, hover in the air, stand on the shore to hunt, or drill into the water and fly out again.
The wetland park is full of water and plants. There are continuous reed marshes growing on the shore. The water surface is covered with fine green water plants. Looking up at the shore, there are shrubs and trees, and there are even more forests in the distance, which are amazingly green.
Zhang Jinjie was amazed: "This place must be the lungs of South Africa. There are too many green plants. If there are so many plants on the sea, his grandmother will I still be so boring?"
Nicole sighed softly, "Hi, there are too many plants here, they absorb too much water, and the water level of the lake has dropped significantly in recent years."
Zhang Jinjie said: "Not it? Can plants still destroy this wetland?"
"Some people plant eucalyptus here, and that thing is a water absorber. The most feared thing about wetlands is this kind of tree, not to mention that there are not some trees here, but forests." Yang Shubao explained.
They chatted while slashing forward. The area where the river flowed into the lake was yellow and became clearer even further out.
And just like the clear distinction between the yellow water quality and the clear water quality are confronting each other and there is a very clear dividing line between them.
Zhang Jinjie was amazed and asked, "Nicole, is this the scene you said that I have never seen before?"
Nicole shook her head: "No, this is nothing. As far as I know, China also has such a water surface, which is the mouth of your Yellow River."
Zhang Jinjie asked Yang Shubao: "Is there any?"
Yang Shubao despised: "You are not as good as a South African girl who knows more about our motherland, so she is embarrassed!"
Zhang Jinjie didn't go to bullshit with him. One reason was that he felt embarrassed, and the other reason was that the hippo group he was thinking about finally appeared.
I don’t know how many hippos are playing in the water, but it’s hard to count, because they sometimes expose their backs and then pop up and dive into the water.
Although Zhang Jinjie had seen the horse-boy, the horse-boy was a little hippo, and his aura was different from that of an adult hippo. Besides, the one I met here was a hippo. He was very excited when he saw it: "The hippo is so scary. What's wrong with their ears? Can you turn around 360 degrees?"
Uncle Yang smiled and said, "Drive over and see close."
"Hippos are even more dangerous." Nicole said quickly.
Agatha, who had been smiling and silent, also changed her expression a little. She pointed to the dock in the distance and said, "Don't get close. There is a sign there, which says it is dangerous to hippos, so it is prohibited to get close."
In addition to the hippos, crocodiles also appeared. A crocodile suddenly surfaced and slowly approached the hippo.
There are little hippos in the hippo group, about the same size as a horseboy, round and tender, like a large black-skinned ham.
Zhang Jinjie asked, "Why don't we go over? This crocodile seems to want to hunt a hippo."
Uncle Yang smiled disdainfully and said, "By it? You can't eat anything!"
The hippos didn't care about the crocodile at all and didn't look at it directly.
The crocodile probably was bored, so he swam around and then crawled into the water and disappeared.
The wooden boats kept rippling on the lake. After they rowed for more than an hour, Yang Shubao felt that he had already rowed far away, but the lake was still out of bounds.
So he exclaimed: "This lake is really big enough."
Nicole said laughably: "What we are entering now is not Saint Lucia, but driving in the river channel into the sea. The real lake area is vast. However, due to the drop in the water level, the lake water has been protected and most of the lake areas are not allowed to enter."
They paddled for a while, bypassed several continuous reeds, and then a yellow-white beach appeared in front of them.
The already tired Nicole said laughingly: "Come on, hurry up and go, we are about to arrive at the end of this trip, the lake and sea beach."
"This is the beach in the lake and sea." Yang Shubao suddenly realized.
This is also what Nicole calls the unique landscape of Lake Grand Saint Lucia.
The lake and sea beach is a sandy beach between the lake and the ocean. The lake water here is already mixed with sea water. Whenever the tide is high, the sea water spreads across the beach and flows into the waterway.
