Why is ‘One Whale Fall, Ten Thousand Things Live’ Said?
Today, Douyin was flooded with 'Whale Fall'—many people didn't know what 'Whale Fall' is. Scientists have given this phenomenon a particularly beautiful name, 'Whale Fall.' Whales are the best interpretation of leaves returning to the root in the ocean. They are born in the ocean, die in the ocean, and thrive in the ocean, disappearing into the ocean, using all their strength to give the ocean one last embrace. After sinking to the seabed, they rot into mud, creating a surprise.
On April 2nd at 2 pm, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' exploration ship discovered a 3-meter-long 'Whale Fall' in the South China Sea for the first time. Internationally discovered natural 'Whale Fall' specimens are less than 50. The body of a whale can support a closed ecological system for nearly a hundred years, dominated by decomposers. 'Whale Fall' maintains the survival of 43 species and 12490 biological entities, promoting the prosperity of deep-sea life and has long-term observational value. New species may emerge during this process. Therefore, 'One Whale Fall, Ten Thousand Things Live.'
