  • [ROAR]

    吼叫聲

  • Hello, and welcome to Weird, gross, and Beautiful, a casual discussion about the animals that I think are weird, gross, beautiful, or all three.

    哈囉,歡迎來到Weird, gross, and Beautiful,一個我們輕鬆討論,奇怪、粗獷、美麗或三者兼具的動物的地方

  • Today, we're talking about the walrus.

    今天,我們要討論海象

  • Brrr-aw!

    海象(吼叫聲)

  • Walruses can be found in the Arctic Circle with all of their friends, or sometimes in Alaska.

    海象生存在北極圈裡,有時候也可以在阿拉斯加州找到他們

  • Right now, they are supposed to be at the Arctic Circle.

    現在,他們應該是要生活在北極圈內

  • But because of climate change, there is no ice.

    但由於氣候變遷,現在北極圈沒有冰了

  • There's no ice at all.

    完全沒有冰了

  • And so they have swam down, some 35,000 of them right now are hanging out in Alaska.

    所以海象們往南方游,其中35,000隻,目前生活在阿拉斯加

  • But it's not the first time that this has happened.

    這件事不是第一次發生了

  • It happened in 2007, 2009, and 2011.

    曾發生在2007, 2009, 和2011

  • The extent of the ice is the sixth lowest that it's ever been, ever-- like, in history.

    冰的含量是有史以來第六低

  • 35,000 of them, that is so many.

    35,000隻海象,這數量非常多

  • Why are there so many?

    為甚麼它們的數量這麼多呢?

  • Because they're very gregarious animals.

    因為他們是屬於群居動物

  • They like to hang out.

    他們喜歡四處閒逛

  • They have groups that they hang out in that range from the tens to thousands.

    他們以群體行動的方式四處逛逛,一群海象可能有10到1000隻

  • Walruses are so huge.

    海象體積很大

  • They are one of the largest flippered marine mammals, in fact.

    他們是最大的有鰭海洋哺乳類動物之一

  • The males can weigh up to like 3,700 pounds.

    公海獅可以重達3,700磅

  • Their skin makes up about 20% of that weight.

    他們的皮膚佔了總體重的20%

  • And the blubber that's underneath the skin is half a foot thick.

    長在皮膚底下的鰭

  • They're chubby.

    他們圓圓胖胖的

  • They're so cute.

    他們非常可愛

  • I just want to snuggle with them, but you shouldn't do that.

    我真想和他們緊緊的抱在一起,但你絕對不能這樣做

  • They're very territorial and very dangerous.

    他們是非常有地域性(不准別人入侵領土)而且非常危險的

  • Yeah, them tusks, though!

    他們還有尖尖的牙

  • They can grow to be about three feet long, and are actually canine teeth that grow like throughout their life.

    他們的尖牙可以長到三尺長,海象的尖牙是他們的犬齒,一生都會不斷的成長

  • They're found on both males and females.

    公海象和母海象都有尖牙

  • And they use them for a variety of reasons.

    他們可以用尖牙來做很多事

  • Sometimes they use it to haul themselves out of water because they're so big.

    有時候他們用尖牙來把自己從水中拖上岸,因為他們太巨大了

  • And so they're just like, ah-ugh!

    所以他們就會像這樣(海象吼叫聲)

  • And then they flock onto the shore.

    然後他們就會聚集到岸邊

  • And they also use it to make breathing holes in the ice.

    他們也用尖牙在冰上刺洞來呼吸

  • So they can be under water for about 30 minutes.

    所以他們可以在水底下待30分鐘

  • But since that's not a lot of very long time-- I mean, obviously, compared to us it's very long--

    但這其實不是很長的時間,不過和我們比起來這是非常長

  • But they need them breathing holes.

    他們需要可以呼吸的洞

  • The males can also use their tusks aggressively to maintain their territory or protect their harems.

    公海象可以用尖牙來攻擊來保護領土和保護他們的老婆們

  • Harems are groups of the lady walruses that all have sex with one dude.

    老婆們是一整群的母海象,她們都和同一隻公海象交配

  • The walrus harems have a ratio of 1:23, give or take.

    公海象與母海象的比例大約是1:23左右

  • But fortunately for the gals, they don't start giving birth until they're about seven or eight years old.

    但對母海象來說幸運的是,她們到了大約7或8歲時才需要生孩子

  • And they'll only give birth every three years because the gestation period is 15 months.

    她們三年生一次孩子,因為懷孕的週期是15個月

  • And once they have the babies, the babies need help from their mamas for over two years.

    而一旦他們有了北鼻,北鼻會需要媽媽長達兩年的照顧

  • It's not like it matters, because he's got 22 other [BLEEP] to choose from.

    對公海象來說這根本不算甚麼,因為他還有另外22個老婆可以選

  • When the babies come out, guys, they're huge!

    當海象北鼻出生時,噢,它們很巨大!

  • They come out weighing anywhere from 99 to 165 pounds!

    他們出生就重達99到165磅

  • Ow!

    哇!

  • And they gain two pounds per day.

    他們每天增重2磅

  • That's insane.

    這很瘋狂

  • I mean, it's to protect themselves from the cold, because they live in the Arctic, usually, when there's ice there.

    這是為了要在有冰的寒冷北極圈中保護自己生存

  • The walruses have these little like mustache-looking whiskers, right?

    海象會有這個好看的鬍子

  • And they're so-- they're super cute and I love them.

    他們看起來,非常可愛,我很喜歡

  • But they're not hairs.

    但這不是毛髮

  • They're actually very similar to cat whiskers.

    這和貓鬍鬚很像

  • They are functioning organs.

    他們具有器官功能

  • And they're called mustacial vibrissae.

    他們叫做觸鬚

  • Hey~ Mustacial?

    嘿~觸鬚?

  • Just like a mustache.

    就像是鬍鬚

  • They're very sensitive, and so they will use them to find their favorite snacks, specifically like shellfish, at the bottom of the sea floor.

    觸鬚非常敏感,海象會用觸鬚來尋找他們最愛的點心,像是在海底的貝類

  • And they'll use their little whiskers.

    他們會用他們的小鬍子

  • They're going to be like, oink, oink, oink, oink, is how I image they sound on the bottom of the sea floor, although, that's probably very inaccurate.

    他們會這樣叫(海象叫聲),這是我想像他們在海底的叫聲,但這可能是不正確的

  • That walrus in "Alice in Wonderland" was a douche.

    海象在愛麗絲夢遊仙境中是個配角(遜咖)

  • What a rude cartoon character.

    一個粗魯的卡通角色

  • He ate up all those little oysters.

    他把所有的牡蠣都吃完了

  • They were just babies.

    牡蠣們還只是北鼻呀
