Whale-Feces Researcher 鲸鱼粪便研究员
When whales poo, they poo bigtime, almost as large as the whale itself. Researchers comb through giant logs of whale dung looking for clues about the endangered North Atlantic right whales, including pregnancy detection, genetics, hormone and biotoxin levels. Whale poo chasers first have to find a pod, and wait for them to relieve themselves. They have about an hour before the turds sink to the bottom of the ocean.
鲸鱼的粪便几乎和它们的个头一般大。为了研究濒临灭绝的北大西洋露脊鲸,研究人员需要梳理大量的鲸鱼粪便,探寻怀孕指征、遗传、激素和生物毒素水平等线索。研究员们首先要找到一个鲸群,然后等着他们排便。他们大约只有一个小时的时间,否则粪便很快就会沉入海底。
