The "whale content" is extremely high
Shanghai Science and Technology Museum "Whale Strange World" Wuhan first exhibition, good shooting and fun, but also can increase knowledge
After sunset, the night is as blue as the sea, and whales appear over the city of Wuhan. The lights and stars are lit up at the same time, as if diving into the deep blue sea.
The "Whale Strange World" immersive exhibition created by Shanghai Science and Technology Museum came to Wuhan for the first time and opened today.
At the north end of the East Lake, the pure white fir art space turns into a blue ocean - the largest blue whale on the earth, the round-headed and round-headed shortnose dolphin, the Baby Finless Porpoise familiar to Wuhan people - the limited time of two months "Whale Strange World", set off to explore together!
The "Whale Strange World" that has toured many places across the country has finally come to Wuhan.
Marine science popularization immersion exhibition, everyone can get something: nature lovers can simulate driving a scientific research boat "out to sea" whale watching, people who like to take photos can also be in the whale and dolphin starry sky and ocean interactive screen, easily gather 9 beautiful circle of friends.
A 1:1 restored model of the head of the ancient Leviathan whale, a 5-meter-long specimen of the jaw bone of the blue whale, which was seen with his own eyes on the spot, and felt the giant whale size more than the book movie.
After watching the 1:1 blue whale heart model, I know that the original "whale heart" is larger than my washing machine and dryer.
The exhibition with high whale content is divided into three sections: the legend of the big fish, the wisdom of survival, and ecological protection, which present the ancient relationship between whales and humans, the evolution and habits of whales, and the ecological protection of whales and dolphins.
Five whales and dolphins silk lamp 1:1 reproduction, even the back and abdomen of the fine spots are restored.
The "mouth" sharp horn whale swims in the front row, navigating the entire whale swarm, the humble beluga whale "forehead bulge", the minke whale showing its white belly, and the Chinese white dolphin and the pygmy sperm whale, swimming in groups in the night sky.
Through the glass wall, the blue night outside the space becomes the background, the lights of thousands of homes are like shining corals, and the traffic on the road is like a school of fish from the deep sea.
Along the cloister ramp, a 100-meter-long scroll of 1:1 depicts 30 species of whales and dolphins of various shapes, standing next to the largest animal on earth, the "Blue Whale", to know how small humans are. (and momentarily no body anxiety)
Black whales, gray whales, sperm whales... "long look up to the big name" of various types of whales for the first time to observe closely, it turns out that they are also divided into different "face shapes", square head square brain sperm whale, killer whale is whale as its name, the head shape is round and not slippery, tiger head tiger brain.
The humpback whale 'chin' has a ring of stubble-like bumps, and the spots on the back of the gray whale come from rock abrasions and scars left by parasites.
Under the background of the marine giant whale, the narrow ridged porpoise in the Yangtze River in Wuhan is particularly "petite", and the world of whales and dolphins is really wonderful.
The exhibition has a total of 16 multimedia interactive installations: touching the deep sea giant screen and dancing with whales, smelling the sperm whale "excrement" ambergris, listening to the whale's heartbeat and "whale song".
Whale hearts only jump 6 times per minute, and human heart rates are 70-90 beats per minute, almost 10 times that of whales. The "calmest" whale heart only jumps 2 times a minute.
During the courtship period, whales make specific calls and chant "whale songs" to attract the opposite sex. The exhibition can hear more than 10 kinds of whales and dolphins "courtship songs", some calm and long like Jazz, some short and powerful, may be a rap player.

In order to enhance the competitiveness in the marriage market, whales will also update the "courtship library", such as humpback whales about once a year to update the song content, bowhead whales probably have a "Sea King" heart, "song library" update frequency to reach once a quarter.
In the 18th and 20th centuries, humans hunted whales in order to obtain fish oil, fish bones, and fish meat. In the 21st century, although whaling activities have decreased year by year, human activities such as fishery bycatch, accidental injury to shipping, and noise disturbance still threaten the lives of whales and dolphins.
The exhibition features a bloody model of a porpoise that was strangled to death by the propellers of a large ship. Such tragedies continue to be staged, and even if innocent whales and dolphins are lucky enough to save their lives, they will leave a row of neatly cut scars after the wounds are healed.
I remember that the primary school autumn tour visited the specimen of the white and dolphin "Qiqi", and it is estimated that many people in Wuhan after 80 and 90 have this memory. This ancient small freshwater whale, once free to inhabit the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but is going extinct due to human activities.
Protecting cetaceans and rivers, lakes and seas is to protect human beings' own homeland, starting from the side, and do not litter when playing in the East Lake or river beach.
"Whale Wonder World" Wuhan exhibition is jointly exhibited by Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and OCT Happy Skyline.
The exploratory "OCT Happy Skyline" is located in the Wuhan High-speed Rail Business District, where a 2.4 million-square-meter science and technology cultural and entertainment complex will be built in the future.
