The climate here is cold and covered with snow and ice. A group of happy seals live here. Among them are baby seals born only ten days ago. They have curly white fur all over their bodies and can only suck and eat snow. Adult seals are covered with gray-blue fur, with clusters of dark hair on their backs, shaped like a fallen harp.
Most of the old seals are obese, with a thick three-layered chin and a thick beard, which always looks like a nap.
The old seal king is called Dag by fishermen. He is the oldest, thickest, fattest and cleverest. When it is in danger, it will always make a sound of Shaga to warn everyone. Whenever a large group of people go out, it always swims ahead and leads. Usually, disputes between seals are solved by it. As long as it roars, the most restless guy will huddle up like krill and say nothing.
Although Dag is old, he likes to join the little seal's game team. Baby seals chase around like lightning, screaming to catch prey and make the waves churn. Dag would always play with them for a while, then watch the prey escape, dive quickly and come out in front, scaring the prey to swim back to their mouths in panic.
These baby seals can be said to be almost all the children and grandchildren of the old seal king Dag. One of the puppies, Scarf, is his great-grandson. Dag likes it best. It is a clever, cautious and brave little seal, and no one can compare with it.
The silk scarf is very beautiful. When it is dry, there are gray spots on the fur and crescent-shaped white spots on the abdomen. When the fur is wet, its body is bluer than any seal, and its eyes are blue with black, which is more beautiful than the night in the Arctic.
Moff never loses his target when fishing. It can always cleverly avoid the big mouth of the horn shark. Whenever his companion is in danger, he always rushes to the rescue without hesitation. It knows more about water than any seal. With it, many baby seals understand the fun of rapids. It is also good at finding places where cod and fresh fish are concentrated and smiling to take everyone out of their prey. Its diving speed is like a flashing stream, and eating fish in the water is like playing a game of throwing a ball.
Whether it is fog, strong wind, huge waves or ice floes, it can know in advance and tell its companions all this. So, the old seal king Dag decided that the new king who would command this large group of seals in the future would be Scoff the little seal.
However, the new king was born only in the adventure of SEALs, and no one can specify it. The old seal king's responsibility cluster led the whole seal group to find fish and reproduce before the new king came into being.
It's very cold here almost all the year round. Only in the three months from June to the end of August can you see the icebergs melt a little. In this season, the sun hangs in the sky all day and never sets. It was midnight, and the sun was red and big on the horizon, but it stopped setting and rose again. It was daytime for three months. 1 1 months later, the sun disappeared. For three months, the moon rises and falls, patrolling the sky.
In mid-March, just after the long night in the Arctic, large and small cod swarms crowded between numerous bays and pink headlands.
In the meantime, all the seals are fat. They lie in the water all day and can almost eat a cod with their mouths open.
Little seals often climb the ice floes and play happily in the snow. They don't want to be too fat, but want to be stronger, so they exercise all day.
Schaffer's "Herring Ball" is the most popular. It lifted a herring into the air with its first one, and many companions immediately jumped up and caught it. Whoever grabs it has the right to serve "herring balls". "Jumping the seal" is also a game that everyone often plays: first, a seal is on the upper reaches of the water, and the other one catches up and jumps over it, then runs straight ahead and jumps over its body until the first one catches up. The "fishing competition" is also often played by baby seals. They first identified a fish as a target in shallow water, then pulled it away and jumped into the water to chase it together. "Snatching bird food" is also a game that small seals often play tirelessly. They are underwater waiting for terns hovering on the waves. When one of them closes its wings and attacks a cod, they will swim faster than lightning to catch fish and terns.
Scudder swims in the sea for more than twice as long as the average seal, and the speed is also the fastest. Therefore, he is often the winner in all games.
Seals often encounter danger when diving on ice floes: sometimes large pieces of ice floes will freeze each other, so it is necessary to try to break through the ice so that other seals will not suffocate. Skaf and his companions smashed the ice with their heads, or crunched holes under the ice with their front paws, and escaped disasters again and again.
After everyone successfully passed through the connected ice floes, the baby seal opened his eyes and closed his nostrils, and jumped into the deep water to catch shrimp and feed it to the weak seal. Sometimes, they swim among the green algae and take out sea urchins in the cracks of the rocks for the old seals to eat. There are many shellfish and seaweed on the seabed beach. These things are for nursing female seals. After eating them, they will secrete a lot of milk.
Therefore, although the old seal worker Dag's physical strength is gradually exhausted, with the help of the little seal Scoff and a group of young seals, this huge seal team often makes a huge commotion among the glittering ice cubes, and the cheers of the seals are earth-shattering.
However, something unexpected happened. One day in April, four fierce horned sharks came from the far sea. They greedily devoured the weak leopard and ate twelve seals in two days. A few days later, a group of swordfish with a body length of more than three meters broke in again, stabbing and picking with sword-like tricks, killing five seals at once. Sharks and swordfish were tired of eating seal meat before they left.
The seal was terrified, and there was no peace and joy in the silent ice and snow. If a large group of horned sharks and swordfish find them again, won't these seals be extinct?
Moff tried to swim out of this terrible slaughterhouse with a group of baby seals. However, as soon as they swam out of two nautical miles, they were ambushed by a group of walruses. Walruses are more than five meters long, and the upper jaw has fangs more than half a meter long. They fell behind a large towering ice floe and suddenly fell. Nine seals died under the fangs of these cruel demons.
The little seal scarf fled back to the seal king Dag because of its fast diving speed. At this time, the weather suddenly turned cold again, and the unimpeded bay was frozen again until it reached the edge of Greenland. Seals have to clean up the snow in those vents, enlarge some of them, dig a little ice above the water level, and dig a bunker to resist the attack of sea monsters.
Seals stay in the shelter of ice floes, waiting for the disaster to pass.
One day, several white bears appeared on the ice. They lingered at the mouth of the cave for a while, but there was nothing they could do but shake their heads and leave.
Scarf, this little seal, is very alert. He often climbs to the ice floe to observe the movement. One day, he saw a black spot in the distance of the ice sheet getting bigger and bigger. Soon, he saw twelve dogs dragging a sled, one sitting in front and the other standing behind.
All the seals who came out to breathe fresh air heard it and went into the ice cave, but they stayed in their ice cave and hid behind a pile of snow.
Twelve dogs stopped and two Eskimos got off the sled. Their faces are big, their skin is light yellow, and they are wearing thick skins. They untied a dog and let it run around and sniff on the ice.
Suddenly, the dog stood quietly in an ice cave. The two Eskimos came at once and stood there motionless for a long time. Finally, the big man raised the harpoon, aimed it at the ice cave and threw it hard. The two of them immediately pulled the rope connecting the fish and dragged a big seal onto the ice.
It turned out that the big seal wanted to come out for fresh air, but he was stabbed to death. It whined and struggled, but to no avail. The little man pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed the seal's neck to finish it. The two hunters immediately pounced on them and sucked blood from the seal's wound.
Then, they peeled off the seal, rolled it up like a blanket, cut the seal's meat and fat into four parts and put them in two pockets on their shoulders. The leftover bits and pieces of meat were left to the greedy tern.
Two Eskimos boarded the sleigh again, singing and moving on.
All this was noticed by Scarf, the little seal, who swam around under the ice floe to warn everyone. Since then, the two Eskimos have never hunted seals again, so they have to return to the island in frustration.
During this period, it was the time when seals gave birth, and dozens of seal cubs came out almost at the same time. The mother seal is busy expanding the shelter, and the task of finding food falls to the old seal kings Dag and Scuff and a group of young seals.
Moff took the seals to the deeper sea floor to catch the fish and shrimp in those deep waters. They met in an unfamiliar area and finally got some shellfish food and deep-water fish and shrimp for the mother seal to produce milk.
After 25 days of birth, the baby seals were weaned, their curly white fur turned into beautiful gray hair, and they could jump into the water and swim by themselves. However, at this time of food shortage, cod disappeared without a trace, and terns also flew away. The night is getting shorter, the weather is getting warmer, the ice floe breaks, and the ice sheet turns into countless ice cubes, making a deafening noise and drifting along the coast, as if countless white rafts appeared at once.
All the seals are hungry. Seeing that everyone was losing weight day by day, Scarf decided to venture out to find fish again. The mighty seal brigade left the raft-like ice floe and swam forward with the little seal Schaefer at a distance. After swimming for two days, we could only eat a little fish and shrimp sporadically along the way, and our stomachs were growling, but everyone was still rubbing their hands with the little seal.
On the third morning, Skada the little seal made a beautiful jump in front. This signal tells everyone that it has rushed into the salmon group. The seal immediately got excited and swam faster.
This is a team of100000 salmon, with big fish in the front, middle fish in the back and small fish in the back. The SEALs immediately caught up and attacked the defenders of the army.
Salmon has awl-like teeth in its big mouth, but it has no effect on the attack of seals. However, salmon has strict discipline, and every time it is attacked, it will always clean up the scattered team and move on.
Seals eat delicious food and follow salmon closely. I followed him for three days. On the fourth day, the two teams arrived at a Okawabe by the sea. The salmon swam bravely to the river, and the seal was still watching. On both sides of the river are layers of stepped rock walls that are not steep, and many red-footed seagulls gather on them, making a "wow" cry at salmon and seals.
Salmon are desperate to swim upstream. The valley gradually narrowed, and their vanguard swam to a towering stone wall. The river rushed down from the stone wall, forming a waterfall-like rapids. Salmon bow their bodies, stick their tails on the water, and make amazing jumps like springs. After a while, the whole row of salmon jumped over this obstacle, regrouped in the river behind the stone wall and continued to swim to the inland river.
Seals can't jump as well as salmon, so they have to watch thousands of salmon escape from their mouths. Everyone was tired of swimming, so Dag, the seal king, led everyone to rest in a nearby cove.
After chasing salmon for a few days, the seal was full. However, some young seals want to climb the coastal rocks and steal seagull eggs. They climbed layer after layer, higher and higher, and finally climbed to the top of the stone wall. However, six white people suddenly appeared on the top of the stone wall, holding short iron bars in their hands and violently hitting the seal's head. Several seals were killed immediately. While shouting, the rest of the seals jumped off the cliff in despair, fell into the sea in panic, and some even died.
The little seal scarf saw a white man running to the stone wall, shouting and gesturing. There is a three-masted ship parked in the north of the bay. There are many people on the deck. They loudly answered the people on the stone wall.
Then the ship came in this direction.
Scarf, this little seal, seems to understand that disaster is just around the corner. It immediately rushed out of the sea like an arrow and issued a warning cry in the air. At the same time, the old seal king Dag also jumped out to warn everyone.
The seal immediately swam straight to the south, avoiding the big round-up of the three-masted ship.
The seal continued to swim forward. At this time, the old seal king Dag felt that he was too old to lead the way for everyone. He gently bit the swimming fin of Moff the little seal, led it to everyone, and wagged his tail repeatedly, indicating that he wanted Moff the little seal to lead the way. If it can bring everyone to a safe and happy bay, it can be worthy of the title of new sea leopard king.
The seals silently and gently wagged their tails in agreement, and then they all followed the baby seals, rubbing their hands and moving on.
Soon, an island appeared in front of us. Many seals cheered and rushed to swim there, hoping to rest early. However, the seal's body came sideways, blocking everyone's way. It turned out that it found that a big iceberg covered on the island seemed to be shaking slightly, and it was imperceptible without a keen feeling. Now is the season of thawing. If the iceberg breaks, how can we escape? Many young male seals don't listen to advice and keep going. At this time, the old seal king Dag also swam over, shaking his thick beard, whining and warning those who are not afraid of death, and sometimes rushing forward to bite the restless seals.
Wandering seals have to float far away into the sea and look at the island with blue and black eyes.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise ahead, and the shiny iceberg moved and quickly slipped to the sea. It turned out that enough sunshine gave the island enough heat and the iceberg was pushed down. With a bang, an ice wall collapsed in the sea, which immediately aroused many high water columns and huge waves. Then, the big iceberg broke into several small icebergs and collided with each other in the sea, making a sharp turn.
If you are hit by these huge icebergs, I don't know how many seals will die! The seals surrounded the young seal Scarf and the old seal king Dag in surprise, licking their beards and swimming fins and thanking them for avoiding another disaster.
After these 100 meters high icebergs slipped into the sea, the minerals on their bases attracted many fish and shrimp, and seals swam between these icebergs and spent more than half a month happily.
Before long, icebergs became smaller and shorter, and some of them were connected with large ice floes on the sea. One day, a seal sunbathed on an ice floe. Suddenly, a white bear hiding behind the ice floe jumped up and struck hard with its claws. The seal was injured and fell into the water. The white bear followed him into the water and opened his mouth to bite.
The little seal scarf nearby found something moving and immediately shouted to everyone. He immediately dived into the water and swam to the white bear and the injured seal. The rest of the seals heard the news and surrounded the white bear.
Scoff the little seal bit the white bear's foot hard and dragged it to the bottom of the water. Some other seals bit its stomach, some bit its ears, and some grabbed its hair and dragged it under the ice floe.
White bears can only dominate on ice and land, and seals are much more powerful in water. This fierce beast tried to climb on the ice several times, but how could it get rid of the bite of more than a dozen seals? He was mad, panting, howling and struggling in the water exhausted. Finally, all the seals swarmed, biting the white bear black and blue, dragging it under the ice floe and drowning it alive.
The seal continued to swim forward. The little seal silk scarf puts the seriously injured seal on the ice and lets everyone paddle to push the ice forward. The task of licking the wound and feeding the injured seal also fell to Scarf, the little seal, who silently did what seemed to be right. It also often swims far away from seals to spy on the situation.
Soon, the injured seal recovered, and everyone happily followed the tide to find the ideal habitat. Along the way, they saw a mirage several times, and the sun that never set all day shone brightly with gray sea water and ice in the middle of the night. Noisy dolphins and colorful ducks crisscross the sea and the air. They also met two spotted narwhals. They killed each other with their long horns, and the ice was cracked. When the huge horn more than three meters long collided, it also made a deafening ping-pong sound.
Scarf the little seal immediately led the seals to swim around two fighting narwhals to the calm sea. They swam far away and saw the' splash' of narwhals in the fight. If you meet them, you will vent your anger on the seals and everyone will suffer.
Soon, Scarf the little seal found a big island ahead. It swam alone for reconnaissance and found nothing unusual, so it called the seal. The island is covered with soft moss and red lichen, and several reindeer and musk oxen graze among low willows and sparse maples. Everything seemed calm and peaceful, but there were no fish and even few shellfish nearby, so the seal had to leave the island and swim to the second island.
The little seal silk scarf climbed up the second island and found several arctic foxes and wolves wandering nearby, their eyes shining as if looking for food. A wolf saw Schaefer, turned around casually, and prepared to copy its back road along the rock wall. Moff the little seal jumped up and jumped back into the sea.
There are no large animals on the third island, but the land here is very wet and swarms of mosquitoes are everywhere. When they meet any animals, they will bite hard. Seals will not adapt to life here. Scarf jumped back into the sea with several big bubbles bitten by mosquitoes.
The fourth island looks calm, but plants such as moss and lichen have been eaten up by something, and the trunk that fell to the ground has been chewed up to only some dead branches. The seal was very tired from swimming and decided to have a rest here. Little seal scarf is not at ease. When everyone is resting, he crawls around alone.
It smelled a strong strange smell at the edge of the rock crack and heard many noisy sounds. There must be some creatures hidden in the cave behind the rock crack. Their numbers are very large, which may also pose a threat to seals. Moff crept back at once and called the old seal king Dag to know what was hidden in the cave.
Dag, the old seal king, looks very heavy. He made a loud noise when he stopped at the edge of the cave.
At this time, a lemming nearly 20 cm long slipped out of a crack in the rock. When it saw two seals, it stopped and tried to get back, but it was killed by a baby seal and sniffed.
At this time, the old seal king Dag was so scared that he crawled and rolled out of the cave. It turned out that it tasted the fierceness of lemmings. They walk in groups, one by one, in a straight line. None of them will give up halfway, and they will never back down when they encounter any obstacles. Wherever they pass, they will eat everything they meet, and even people are afraid of them.
While crawling, Dagg, the old seal king, shouted and ordered the seals to return to the sea. The seals were in a mess, and the mother seals were looking for the lost young seals and the nearest way to the sea, which was very chaotic for a while.
The baby seal scarf lay motionless on the edge of the rock crack, biting the hole with rapt attention. It looked back, and in the opposite direction to the seal, there was a road leading to the cliff The sea under the cliff looks calm, indicating that the sea there is deep and there is absolutely no problem jumping. Therefore, it made up its mind to stay outside the lemming cave.
After a while, the heads of three lemmings were poked out of the hole. When they saw the little seal rubbing its hands and the lemmings killed by the bite, they immediately cracked their teeth violently and made a squeaking sound. Scoff, the little seal, was not to be outdone, blowing his beard and glaring, growling and slowly retreating towards the cliff.
In the blink of an eye, three lemmings came down. But scoffed, this little seal immediately killed two of them.
Other lemmings foolishly bit Scuff's swimming fin, but this is the toughest part of his body, and lemmings' short teeth can never be penetrated. Scudder threw it hard and the lemmings fell into the distant sea.
At this time, a group of lemmings rushed out of the cave in the dark. They rushed through the bodies of three lemmings and rushed at Moff the seal. Scarf is not afraid of them biting other parts of his body, but his head and face, especially his eyes, can't resist the attack of lemmings. As he stepped back, he shook his head and killed one lemming after another who dared to approach his head.
Lemmings don't know the weakness of baby seals-wear and tear. They screamed and bit its greasy and tough body, but there was nothing they could do except bite off some gray-blue seal hair.
However, more and more lemmings began to attack Scuff's head. Some of them bit its nose, some bit its lips, and some tried to bite its blue-black eyes. Soon, Scoff's face was bitten and bleeding. However, it endured the pain and continued to retreat to the height of the cliff.
Lemmings seem to understand its intention and gather on the stone road leading to the cliff to intercept its retreat. Some lemmings bit its swimming fin and even tried to drag it into the cave.
At this time, Moff the little seal saw through his bloodshot eyes that the last female seal on the beach also jumped into the water. It suddenly roared and jumped hard, jumping several times on the dense lemmings until it jumped to the edge of the towering cliff.
The lemmings were stunned. They didn't know what Scuff, the little seal, was going to do, but they immediately left their companions who were crushed to death, huddled together in the dark and rushed frantically to the top of the cliff.
Scarves, baby seals, opened their bleeding eyes, looked at the Red Sea and red seals, and gave a cry full of victory. Then, with a bang, it jumped directly into the sea from the top of the cliff.
When it surfaced, Dag, the old seal king, swam with a group of baby seals, and they licked Scuff's injured face excitedly. Soon, the beneficial licking of his companions stopped the bleeding of his wound.
The sea turned dark blue again, and the seal companions became familiar gray blue again. Scarves, surrounded by everyone, returned to their own team.
Then, they swam to the fifth island, where there were many short gooseberries and some plants with purple and black flowers. The sixth island is barren, just like the terrible lemming island. On its desolate beach, there are a lot of drifting wood chips and marine garbage.
Summer passed quickly, followed by winter. The seventh island is an island where some seagulls who can forecast storms live. They face the north and send warning signals to each other. The little seal scarf jumped out of the sea and told everyone that even in the storm warning, everyone should summon up courage and continue to swim forward.
Soon, Skaf found a huge whale spraying water ahead, so he decided to follow it and find a habitat. However, the seals soon stopped moving forward, and each one showed a panicked expression. It turned out that a big ship with full sails came to chase whales. At this time, the sky is overcast. A small boat carrying five white people was put down on the big ship, and it was getting closer and closer to the whale. One of them threw a sharp harpoon and stabbed the whale. The whale was attacked, turned around, made a big turn, swept its tail hard, smashed the boat, and five white people were swept into the sea at the same time.
At this time, the wind blew harder and harder, blowing the ship into the ice pile in captivity. The sails were full, the cables, large and small, were blown off and the mast was blown down. The storm lifted the waves into the sky, and many icebergs collided with each other in fierce fighting. In a short time, the ship was smashed into pieces by huge ice cubes and sank to the bottom of the sea.
In "Storm Warning", Moff the little seal and Dag the old seal king lead everyone to swim under the raging ice floes and fight with death tenaciously.
In the evening, the wind stopped, the waves calmed down, and the threat of death had passed. Then Scarf, the little seal, allowed everyone to move freely among the broken ice, looking for some fish and shrimp that were tortured to death by the storm to satisfy their hunger.
At this time, the setting sun shines on the broken ice covered with the ocean surface, reflecting colorful brilliance, like the ruins of a collapsed gem palace. The seal is very tired and sleeps on the ice. Scuff, the little seal, climbed on the ice floe, too, but he kept his eyes open and watched where the ice floe would take them.
Soon, the seals came to a calm bay with a splendid island nearby. The island is surrounded by flat beaches and smooth rocks. Birds and insects inhabiting the island keep making noises. The island is green, and the highest part of the island is a beautiful snow peak.
What excites everyone even more is that the people on the island are all residents who love animals. They wear white clothes and often feed animals in a friendly way. Groups of little penguins and big-headed birds stood in rows on the edge of the cliff, welcoming guests like rows of wine bottles.
There are many people walking on the beach along the coast, and a striped road appears everywhere on the water. This is a group of fish swimming ... this is really an ideal island of happiness! Seals are playing "herring ball", "jumping seals" and "grabbing bird food" again, and joy and peace have enveloped the whole bay.
Not long after, Dag, the old seal king, left everyone because he was old and tired during the expedition.
However, before his death, a new seal king was born, and it was the little seal scarf that dared to seek happiness for everyone.
