How much do you know about the Chinese White dolphins #中華白海豚 ? See if can answer all correctly 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
1. What is the colour of baby Chinese White dolphin? Grey or Pink?
2. Why do we call them Chinese White dolphins but not Chinese “Pink” dolphins?
3. What is the nickname of Chinese White dolphins?
It was easy to spot the Chinese White dolphins in Hong Kong water. Dolphin watching is a popular tourist activity in Tai O fishing village.
With one construction project following after the other in the nearby water, including the construction of Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge #港珠澳大橋 , the Airport third runway #機場三跑 and the upcoming Lantau Tomorrow Vision reclamation Plan #明日大嶼 , the number of Chinese White dolphins has been on a sharp decline going from 188 dolphins in 2003 to only 32 in 2018. The number is expected to drop even further.
Again the question is - development and conservation, which one is more important?
@HKDCS organizes regular dolphin research trips. I have joined their research trips earlier this year and it is highly recommended 👍🏻 Did I see any dolphins? Yes! A few! And the trip was very informative and these are what I have learnt 👇🏻😏
𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫:
1. Grey! Chinese white dolphin is grey and spotty when it is young. Its spots fade and body colour changes to pink when it grows older.
2. Adult chinese White dolphins have white skin. They look pink as there is an increased blood flow to the skin when they swim.
3. Fishermen in Hong Kong call them Sea Pig 海豬！The reason is simple - it is a pink mammal living in the sea.
