"Aquaman" | aquaman
"Aquaman" was released. In the DC series of comic characters, Aquaman has always been the one who is more ridiculed by everyone, such as the terrier that can talk to the fish, which is often used by everyone to laugh at mercilessly.
In the Big Bang of Life, Aquaman was also ruthlessly spat upon by Raj | the big bang theory
However, I am fascinated by this skill from the marine biology major. Because if you have the ability to communicate with marine life, you can definitely save a lot of experimental troubles (fog). In addition, underwater breathing, super water pressure resistance or something, it will be much more convenient to pick up samples: p
Like me, Jason Momoa, the star of Aquaman, studied marine biology in college. Well, it seems that the role of "Aquaman" is really appropriate to be played by him.
Well, without further ado, let me take a look at what interesting sea creatures appear in the movie "Aquaman".
Top predators also have to prop him up
Aquaman is the child of lighthouse keeper Tom Curry and Atlanna, queen of Atlantis, who grew up on land. In the movie (including the trailer), the first scene of sea creatures appearing in an aquarium. Because of his half-human, half-Atlantean ancestry, Neptune possesses the ability to communicate with sea creatures.
When little Aquaman talks to a fish in the aquarium, he is bullied by two older children. At this time, the "head" of the little sea king is a carcharias taurus.
That's it
The conetooth shark is a large shark with a maximum body length of 3.3 meters. They are distributed in all coastal warm waters except the eastern Pacific Ocean, and inhabit water depths of 1 to 190 meters. Although the conetooth shark is fierce in shape and has super swimming ability, they are usually not very active. Unless provoked (or called upon by the Little Aquaman), they will not actively attack humans.

In the film, after such a collision of the conetooth shark, the two bear children who bullied the little sea king immediately became honest. At this time, the little sea king also seemed to be aware of his superpowers, and instantly awakened - various creatures in the aquarium "stood" (swam) behind the little sea king, acting as a fish-shaped background wall. In this background wall, there are many interesting marine creatures besides the conetooth shark.

Grouper, is it a goug or a crush?
The story takes place in maine, which is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of the United States, so the aquarium naturally has some Atlantic species, such as the "background wall" with at least two species of groupers distributed in the western Atlantic and the Caribbean, namely mycteroperca bonaci and nassau grouper (epinephelus striatus).

Groupers are mostly hermaphrodites and usually mature in order of first female and then male. That is, when they first mature, they are all grouper crushes; as they grow, the ovaries begin to degenerate, the sperm nest begins to develop, and they become grouper gegs.

Despite its cute look, the grouper fish that often inhabit coral reefs are actually one of the top predators here. They do not like to bite, but use the negative pressure formed by the rapid opening of the mouth to suck all kinds of prey into the mouth in an instant. Some clever groupers also hunt cooperatively with other marine life, such as the genus Echinaceae, which can be observed in the genus Corrugated lipfish, blue slug [xiāo] and Javan naked-breasted eels.

Hunt like the Alien
Speaking of the naked-breasted eel, it is also found in the background behind Neptune. They are regulars not only in aquariums, but also in low-level rumors – if anyone claims to have caught them in a reservoir or lake, without exception, they are all rumors.
The red arrow is the naked-breasted eel
Naked-breasted eels are marine fish that generally inhabit coral reefs or sandy bottom waters in shallow tropical or subtropical seas. They are called naked-breasted eels because they lack pectoral fins. The bare-breasted eel has a slender body and often burrows into crevices in rocks, coral reefs or sand, then sticks its head out in waiting for an opportunity to catch prey.

This is not the whole of the naked-breasted eel's predation skills. Naked-breasted eels have a structure called pharyngeal jaws, which should be easy to understand if you've seen the atypira: when the naked-breasted eel opens its mouth, the pharyngeal teeth open and are pulled forward; when the mouth of the naked-breasted eel is closed again, the pharyngeal teeth can bite the prey to death and pull it into the digestive tract. If the small fish and shrimp are targeted by the naked-breasted eel and swallowed into the mouth, it is absolutely fierce.

The "manta rays" are not devils at all
Naked-breasted eels and conetooth sharks often show fierce images, and if I have the ability to talk to fish, I am afraid I will stay away. On the contrary, the manta ray, which seems calm and indisputable, seems to be full of "fish experience" and is an object worthy of "exchange". The two-tailed manta rays in the aquarium behind The Little Aquaman are most likely manta birostris of the genus Manta birostris.

The double-snouted manta ray lives in tropical to temperate waters around the globe and often swims in large groups, and the main film of "Aquaman" can see the spectacular scene of manta rays swimming. Although they are called "manta rays", they are actually "warm" big guys and are not aggressive towards people.
Here I would also like to solemnly state on behalf of the manta rays: one of the villains in the movie, the Black Manta Ray, has nothing to do with the creature of the manta ray, and if there is a similarity, it is purely coincidental.
The wonders of the deep sea are far above imagination
As a film about the king of the sea who rules the seven seas, who has endured hardships and regained the throne, the marine creatures that appear in "Sea King" are naturally far more than the previous characters that humans can reach. Before watching the movie, all you need to do is let go of your imagination —
In the beautiful land of Atlantis in the sea, the Atlanteans used seahorses, great white sharks, turtles, humpback whales, and even extinct dragons as mounts.
Here, riding the dragon doesn't seem to be wrong
Here, glowing jellyfish can be used as a lighting tool, and the skirt made of it can be so beautiful; can they survive after entering the mouth of a blue whale?
What are the "intelligent" creatures living in the deep sea, except for humans...
Well, we can't go on anymore, let's go to the movie to find the answer!
