The bleaching phenomenon of corals and the parasitic relationships in corals are fascinating (I am particularly attracted to the former, why do they become completely white before they die?). Their death may not be an isolated case or the result of environmental changes in recent years, but a continuous process of extinction (imagine the earth tens of thousands of years ago, when there were probably many times more species than today. The existing species are not They will devour each other over a long period of movement. Extinction is a common occurrence, and eventually some of today's gadgets are left. Unless there is mutation, they will kill until the last one - probably humans, and then humans discard the earth. species), not that before modern times, the waters were always cold enough that corals were always alive. I don't like the argument that other creatures are regarded as the aborigines of the earth. When they raise their ears, disaster is imminent (in fact, creatures also have this function...), and modern human beings must have undergone some mutation, which has become consistent with history. The brutal ignorance that was different in every era. (Always feel like something is wrong, but I'm not sure yet).
Go see the Great Barrier Reef! But there are so many strange creatures in Australia, I will be afraid. Or watch something like this at home. Diving, bleaching, coral parasitism, the sheer beauty of the coral reef itself, a time-lapse camera on the bottom of the sea that captures the life and death of coral (and ultimately a very distressing image), a group of people diving to the bottom of the sea, going to dozens of stationary I set up a camera at a certain location, and shoot for two minutes at one location... I believe that these things are all related to some profound and original content, and they should be kept in mind.
Finally, how did the phenomenon of whitening occur? Why would the hairy water plants entangle them later and destroy the white things? What is the difference between looking at the corruption of an individual species (apples, bananas, pears) that is routinely domesticated and looking at the demise of an entire species that will never be reborn? (I also want to go diving again and buy a camera that can take pictures underwater. I want to see more photos of nature.)
