People for the sea, not only in the scientific search, but also in the vast ocean to find artistic inspiration.
Countless cartoons about the ocean are loved by people, but what do the sea creatures in these cartoons look like in the real world? Who are they based on? And what are the fun features? Let's go check it out with Xiaobian next!
SpongeBob SquarePants
"Aya kids, I can't hear you ohhhhhh..." As soon as I heard the bearded captain's dragging voice, I couldn't help but think of a yellow sponge square. "SpongeBob SquarePants" mainly revolves around the protagonist SpongeBob SquarePants and his good friend Pie Daxing, neighbor Octopus Brother, boss Crab Boss and other characters, set at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, a small town known as Beechburg. On January 30, 2005, the film won the "Best TV Animation Production" award at the 32nd Annie Awards.
SpongeBob SquarePants is so popular because it has an optimistic and cheerful SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob SquarePants' best friend, the pink starfish, the octopus brother who loves to play the flute and has high standards for his living environment, and the red emperor crab, the crab owner, who owns the most famous hamburger shop in Beechburg.
SpongeBob SquarePants
SpongeBob SquarePants, which is always excited and cheerful and lively, is not the sponge that everyone usually uses to brush pots and pans, but an ancient multicellular organism on the seabed. Although they are multicellular organisms, their structure is indeed the simplest. It has lived in the ocean for 600 million years, and has grown to more than 10,000 species, accounting for 1/15 of the marine animal species, which is a huge "family".
Just like SpongeBob SquarePants, sponges come in a variety of shapes, including flakes, blocks, spherical, fan-shaped, tubular, bottle-shaped, pot-shaped, dendritic-like, and so on.
Although the sponge belongs to animals, it cannot walk on its own, but can only attach to the reef fixed to the bottom of the sea, and obtain food from the water flowing around it. Most sponges live on the substrate of hard rock. And the place where they are located is also where starfish and some fish like to inhabit. No wonder SpongeBob SquarePants and Pai Daxing are inseparable friends!
Send big stars
Many of the starfish you see have very slender brachiopods, but the chubby Pi star prototype is a gracoderma starfish with chubby brachiopods. Starfish are echinoderms, usually with five wrists, mostly in the shape of stars, so people name them after the stars in the sky. In order to facilitate their prey and to climb the reef, there are four rows of dense tube feet side by side on the underside of their wrists. So in SpongeBob SquarePants, only Pai Daxing lives under a round stone.
Although Pai Daxing's favorite food is ice cream, starfish are pure carnivores. They can feed on a variety of invertebrates, especially shellfish, crustaceans, polychaetes, and even fish. Most starfish have bendable wrists and a very large number of suction cups with strong adsorption on the brachiopods. Whenever they eat, the body will cling to the shell, sucking on both sides of the shell with both wrists, and once the shell mouth of the bivalves is pulled open, the starfish will immediately turn out its own spray door stomach and insert it into the shell mouth, and secrete digestive enzymes until the shell closed shell muscle and internal organs are digested. By this time the shells are fully open, and the starfish will surround the food with their stomachs.
Oh yes! Starfish have also been voted one of the top ten slowest animals in the world, moving at a rate of 3 mm/s every day.
Brother Octopus
Brother Octopus is an octopus with a big nose, and he and SpongeBob are not only colleagues at work, but also neighbors in life. Slightly different from the octopus brother: the real octopus head and body are not clearly demarcated. The octopus has a large head, a pair of large compound eyes and 8 wrists that can be contracted, each with two rows of fleshy suction cups. Octopuses usually crawl with their wrists, sometimes swimming with the extension of the intercarriage membrane, and their wrists can also hold other objects strongly. Brother Octopus uses these wrists to play his favorite flute, although it is not very good...
Pacific giant octopus
Just like Brother Octopus, octopus is actually a very delicate marine creature, and they have very high requirements for their living environment. Adapting to the water temperature can not be lower than 7 ° C, the proportion of seawater 1.021 is the most suitable, if they are in a low salinity environment will die, the bottom of the sea area is best sandy area. When the octopus is 10-13 mm long, it will settle in the submarine camp to live, and if there is no ceramic clay pot conch shell to use as a living room, it will build its own house.
In "SpongeBob SquarePants", Brother Octopus often dislikes spongebob and Pai Daxing for stupidity, which is actually not without reason. Because the octopus itself has a unique body structure and independent neural cords, it has become a being in the ocean with less intelligence than dolphins, and is also the most intelligent among invertebrates.
Crab owner
Who is the richest man on Beach in Beach beechburg? Crab boss! Who is the most slammer on Beach in Beechburg? Crab boss!
As the crab boss with the exclusive secret recipe of crab yellow bags, he has become the object of envy of countless people. Although in "SpongeBob SquarePants", the specific species of crab boss is not marked, but Xiaobian found an Australian emperor crab that is very similar to the crab boss! They all have a hard red shell and a pair of huge flexible crab claws.
The emperor crab is actually called the giant pseudo-coast crab, which is the heaviest crab in the world, but don't confuse them with the king crab, otherwise their large pincers are not long-eyed! Emperor crabs generally live in marine and estuarine environments, and are most suitable for mud, sand or rocky seabeds, aquatic plants and swamps. They can withstand salinity of 4-52‰ and can survive temperatures of 0-30 ° C.
Common coastal crabs have a variety of ways to spread communities, including ballast water, hulls, packaging with seaweed and other materials, rafting, and juvenile migration with sea currents. The common coastal crab in Australia can spread over long distances, and changes in human activity are one of the reasons why they move.
Finding Nemo
If you want to talk about the most famous marine cartoon, it must be "Finding Nemo"! "Finding Nemo" tells the fantasy experience of Marlin, an overprotective clownfish who overprotect his son, and Dolly, a blue don king fish he encounters on the road, looking for Marin's lost son Nemo in the ocean. Along the way, Marin learns that he must take risks and that his son is already capable of taking care of himself.
The film received unprecedented acclaim upon release and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Film in 2004. Combined with its global box office performance, the film grossed about $867 million. Similarly, it was the second highest grossing film in 2003.
Let's take a look at some of the cute sea creatures in the animated movie "Finding Nemo"!
Clownfish
As the protagonist of "Finding Nemo", the clown fish father and son can be said to be the most famous marine star of the year the movie was released with their cute appearance and vivid personality! Although it is not possible to take "fish" by appearance, the clownfish is called "clownfish" precisely because the face has one or two white patterns, like a clown. They generally inhabit coral reefs and rock reefs, and juvenile fish often coexist with large anemones, sea urchins or small coral tops, so they are also called "anemone fish". Therefore, when you see clownfish, you will also see a cluster of anemones blooming in the water next to them.
Clownfish native to the warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. Although most species have their own restrictions, some species are widely distributed, from India to the Pacific Ocean, north to southern Japan, and south to Australia and Sydney.
Clownfish have a very distinctive feature, that is, they have a strong sense of domain. Usually a pair of male and female clownfish will occupy a sea anemone and prevent other kinds from entering. If it is a large anemone, they will also allow some other juvenile fish to join in. In such a large family, the strongest body is the female, she and her mate are dominant males, and the other members are males and juveniles who have not yet shown their characteristics. The female chases and oppresses the other members, leaving them to move only in unimportant corners around the anemone.
Of course, Clownfish is one of the most famous marine stars, not only appearing in "Finding Nemo", but also the protagonist of many animated films and televisions!
Blue Tang King Fish
There is also a very important character in "Finding Nemo", that is, the Blue Tang King Fish with a memory of only three seconds - Dolly. This all-over blue, very beautiful fish, but replaced by severe amnesia, memory is only a few seconds, in many important things out of the way, people are love and hate.
The scientific name of the blue tang king fish is called the yellow-tailed parasingound, and as an oceanic benthic fish, they are omnivorous fish that feed mainly on zooplankton and sometimes algae. Unlike some fish that travel alone in the sea, most of the time they swim in pairs or in small groups. Near the reef, they form a protective layer in groups, with each member of the group having a sharp, poisonous tail spine to deal with potential predators, and few predators enter the center of the fish to hunt.
Although Dolly in the film is a girl with a big grin and a bad memory, the actual Blue Tang King Fish is very cautious. Adults usually congregate in water layers 1-2 metres above the seafloor, while juvenile or juvenile fish gather near cape corals with staghorns and hide among the buds of corals as soon as they are frightened.
Great white sharks
Bruce is a fierce-looking, vicious-sounding great white shark, but it is also a vegan great white shark. In the film, because of the smell of blood, it will stimulate its carnivorous nature, and marlene and Dolly's several chases make Marlene transform again and again.
The great white shark, also known as the man-eating shark, is the largest carnivorous fish in the ocean, reaching a length of 6.5 meters and weighing up to 3200 kilograms. The tail is crescent-shaped, with large teeth and jagged edges, and is triangular in shape, making it a large offensive shark. Because it belongs to the giant shark, it can be considered to be the ultimate predator at the highest level of the food chain, that is, the highest consumer.
Although the great white shark has the highest number of attacks on humans among all sharks, the reason for people's fear of it is probably more due to the rendering of novels and movies, and the word of mouth, the herd effect of magnifying glass.
In fact, humans are not ideal prey for great white sharks. If you think about it, people come to the beach to play and sunbathe, and they always have to wear a set of underwear and underwear. How can these cotton, cloth, and chemical fiber things be digested by the great white shark, so the great white shark eating people is to find countless troubles for themselves. Therefore, compared with humans living on land, great white sharks still prefer to eat fish and marine mammals that live in the sea.
The Little Mermaid
Next, we're going to explore the Little Mermaid, the daughter of the sea – friends around you! Although from ancient times to the present, countless people have explored the undersea mermaid race, but they ultimately only exist in people's imagination, so the real marine life is the little flounder around the mermaid princess Ariel - small fat, hermit crab - Sebastin.
flatfish
Chubby is a round-headed, very cute flounder, and he is also the best friend of the mermaid princess Ariel, often helping Ariel solve problems.
Although the flounder in the movie is chubby, the real flounder has a flat body and a unique flat structure among the fish. Their names begin in an ancient Chinese book.
The term "flounder" was first used in the Erya. His "Interpretation of the Earth" Yun: "In the East, there is a flounder, not a flounder, and its name is flounder." The meaning of this is that the flounder not only has two eyes close together, but even the usual action is two fish moving together, and cannot be separated. Flounder also formed the idiom "flounder affection" with the bird known as "flounder" in ancient times, which is a metaphor for the deep feelings between people, especially the love between husband and wife.
At that time, people attributed the flounder to the five strange things because of its strange structure, believing that the flounder only existed in legends. It was not until later, with the development of science and technology and the deepening of research, that the name of flounder was gradually justified.
hermit crab
When Sebastian is spoken of, he thinks of the loyal minister who danced but followed the rules. In conversations between Sebastian and other ministers, we can learn that Sebastian's prototype was a hermit crab.
The aliases of hermit crabs are very vivid, and they are also known as "white houses" and "dry houses". They are a kind of crab that lives in the shell of a snail, but it is actually a very fierce crab. They usually eat the flesh of mollusks such as conchs and occupy their shells to become their own home, so some people jokingly call them robbers. Due to the harsh ecological environment, even hermit crabs like robbers cannot find a shell that can be used for lodging, so they will choose bottle caps and garbage on the beach as their home.
Hermit crabs are also known as "scavengers by the sea". From algae by the sea, food scraps to parasites are their food. Therefore, many family fish lovers will also put one or two hermit crabs in their tanks to act as cleaners.
Human feelings about the ocean are complex. In the distant antiquity, what was seen in the face of the sea was awe; in the age of development, it was ignorant curiosity to face the ocean; in the age of great navigation, in the face of the ocean, there was a desire to conquer. Today, the ocean is not only a source of resources and tourist attractions, but also carries life and love like the land under our feet.
If you can, let us protect that mysterious underwater world together, let Beechburg have peace, let Nemo's father and son swim under the sea, and let the daughter of the sea and her friends continue to sing the cheerful song "Under The Sea"!
