Are they learning us or are we learning them? I believe that this question has some opinions in my heart.
The blue-finned bream, also known as the spot-finned bream, is a slender, purplish-red tropical deep-sea fish. They are lively and active, and enjoy playing on reefs and shallow beaches. And there is an interesting anecdote, that is, Xiaomei likes to pick up shells for a limited time, use shells to do certain things, and explore the reasons behind them, reflecting their highly intelligent characteristics.
First of all, picking up shells may be Xiaomei's courtship performance. In recent years, zoologists have found that many animal behaviors are also related to their courtship. After animals reach maturity, they usually exhibit various courtship behaviors to attract the attention of the opposite sex. When picking up shells, Xiaomei often shows difficult actions such as tumbling and jumping, thus attracting the attention of the opposite sex.
Secondly, it is also possible that Xiaomei collected shells to create a nest. Snapper are fish that live mainly on the bottom of the sea, and in order to survive and spawn, they need a safe and comfortable environment. Xiaomei's act of picking up shells may have been to find suitable materials for nesting. At the bottom of the sea, there are sometimes many small rocks and shells, and Xiaomei can use it to build her own nest when she picks up the right shell, which can avoid being attacked by predators and also breed in a better environment.
In addition, the act of picking up shells by the bright-finned bream may also be a form of entertainment and play. In the animal kingdom, many animals also exhibit play and entertainment behaviors. Just like humans play games, animals can release their stress and mental pleasure during games. Finding and collecting shells on the seabed can bring fun and excitement to the bright-finned bream, while also enhancing their athleticism and adventurous spirit, and better adapting to and surviving the seabed environment.
In short, the reasons why the beautiful fin bright sea bream picks up shells may be multifaceted, including courtship, nest building, and entertainment. It is worth mentioning that this behavior also reflects the wisdom and spirituality of animals, allowing people to feel the mystery and beauty of nature.
