Chapter 625 - 622
The sea lion must have realized they were there to rescue it, as it lay still, allowing Lu Xiao to successfully use the pliers to remove the fishhook from its upper lip.
But after the rescue, it didn’t move at all and just breathed heavily, lying on the boat without stirring.
Wen Xian wondered, "What’s wrong with it? Is it possible it hasn’t eaten for a long time and is very hungry?"
While speaking, she quickly got up and took a fish from a bucket on the boat and placed it in front of the sea lion.
Yet it still didn’t eat, its small head lifted slightly, and its body seemed to be straining to do something.
Still puzzled, Wen Xian couldn’t help but ask, "Is this a male sea lion or a female sea lion? I feel like something else is not right."
Right after she said this, Lu Xiao’s stern face subtly changed.
He stood up and went to its backside to inspect its abdomen, and indeed, he discovered the issue. Looking at the sea lion’s belly, he said directly, "It’s a female sea lion, and it’s pregnant. If I’m not mistaken, it’s ready to give birth."
That’s why it didn’t leave the boat, it was looking for a stable place to give birth to its pup.
Many times, sea lions give birth to their pups on the beach; the pups are viviparous.
