This creature does indeed look scary. I am sad though that it is being hunted and killed by people. I am worried that it might become extinct. I wonder what we could do to solve this problem. How could we make sure that people are safe in the water, without killing this wonderful creature?
This is a unique creature, both very interesting but also very scary. Just because a creature is dangerous does not mean we can kill it off, I wonder what we can do to help conserve this creature, do you know of any Barraeater conservation projects. Perhaps we could pressure the Chinese government into passing laws so that it become illegal to hunt these wonderful creatures.
