First day at the zoo

学生時代に水族館に行ってアザラシが水中で立ち泳ぎみたいなこともできるのを知って驚いたことがある
このアザラシ君は水面から上半身を出し両手をこすり合わせモジモジしてる
この間最寄りの駅で女の子が駅の近くで長年営業してるカラオケボックスのビラ配り兼呼び込みをしていた
新人なのか恥ずかしがり屋なのか分からないけど看板を携えモジモジしてる
上手く大きな声も出せないが、頑張らなきゃみたいな一生懸命さは見て取れた
このアザラシ君の姿はその女の子に被った
この水族館に初めてやってきたのだろうか
それとも仲間がいなくて一人ぼっちなのだろうか
寂しげな光景が笑いを誘います
たまにありますね。広い檻やプールの中に動物が一頭だけというのが
アザラシ一頭飼うのにかかるお金は一か月20万円位するらしいです
餌代10万円、水道光熱費7万円、健康を保つための消毒関係日費3万円
夏の暑さは苦手なのでプールの水も冷やさなければならない
Live by the sea and wait for the drift!

◆Wait at the house by the sea
There are five species of seals in the sea near Japan: the Gomaf seal, the Wamon seal, the Zenigata seal, the jellyfish seal, and the mustache seal. Seal hunting has been practiced since ancient times, but it is now prohibited.
However, if deemed necessary, capture and protection can be provided. Research the land where seals have drifted in the past and the coast near the route of migration, build and rent houses there, and wait for them to drift. In Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, where Kitazo seals floated in the past, I will rent an apartment that suits my taste for about 80,000 yen a month.
The process of applying for permission is complicated, and there are fees and document fees. It’s unlikely that you’ll get permission to keep seals privately, but this is a fantasy and we’ll continue to enjoy it.
◆Putting seawater into the pool
Seals also operate on land, but they need a pool because they spend a lot of time underwater. Let’s make one room a pool space. The pool is 2 meters wide and 2 meters deep, and we assume that you can ask a local construction company to make it for millions of yen.
The advantage of living near the sea is that it can shorten the time to transport seawater to the pool. However, before putting it into the pool, disinfect it with disinfectant. Aquariums have advanced filtration systems, but if you raise them individually, you have to change the water manually, but if you change the whole amount, the water quality will change dramatically, so you change it little by little every day. Since it gets dirty with sea urchin and oshikko, it seems that water disinfection and replacement will be carried out around the clock. This is hard work.
Since there is also a cost of food, disinfectant and cleaning supplies can be stored at 30,000 yen a month.
◆ Take measures against the heat in summer
Seals also live in Japan, so no special air conditioning is required. However, countermeasures are needed against the recent summer heat. You should cool the water in the pool if possible.
It consumes energy when changing hair once a year, so if it’s too hot in summer, the burden on the body will increase, so you need to be careful.
