【海龜的秘密手手! 🐢 Sea Turtle’s Hidden Fingers!】

你知道嗎？海龜的前肢看起來像船槳，但其實骨骼結構和人類一樣有五根「手指」! ✋

海龜是擁有背甲的爬行動物，已經在地球上居住了至少1億年。🐢 海龜的前肢除了用於游泳和爬行外，還有覓食、防禦和逃脫的功能。更為神奇的是，從解剖學的角度來看，海龜的前肢（fore limb）包含了手臂、手腕和手掌，與人類的結構相似。但是骨頭的長度比例卻截然不同，例如，海龜的手指非常長，形成鰭狀肢，讓牠們能在海中優雅及有效率地游泳。這樣有助海龜完成長達數百至數千公里、往來覓食地及產卵地的遷徙，牠們會利用地球磁場和水流等因子來導航。🌟🌊

想揭開更多海龜的驚人秘密，別錯過我們的《海洋守護者》系列教育影片 - 第一集「救救綠寶貝」綠海龜，以及請期待下一集，讓我們一起探索更多神奇的海洋生物之謎。🎥

來香港海事博物館，了解更多海洋生物的知識！🐢🌊✨

Do you know? The forelimbs of a sea turtle look like paddles, but they have five “fingers” in the skeletal structure, just like humans! ✋

Sea turtles are shelled reptiles and have been living on the Earth for at least 100 million years. In addition to being used for swimming and crawling, the forelimbs of sea turtles also serve the functions of foraging, defense , and escaping predators. What’s even more amazing is that from an anatomical perspective, a sea turtle's forelimb contains arms, wrist, and hand, which are similar to humans. However, the relative length ratio of the bones is different. For example, sea turtles have very long fingers, forming paddle-like flippers that allow them to swim gracefully and efficiently in the sea. This feature enables them to accomplish long-distance migrations of hundreds to thousands of kilometers, between foraging and nesting grounds. They use environmental cues like the Earth's magnetic field and water currents to navigate their migration. 🌟🌊

【漁民的「契爺」——朱大仙The “Godfather” of Fishermen - Chu Tai Sin】

提到香港的大仙，許多人立刻會想到「有求必應」的黃大仙。然而，對於部分港澳漁民來說，還有一位共同尊崇的「契爺」——朱大仙。✨

根據傳說，朱大仙是醫藥之神，並被認為是大禹的化身。水上人相信朱大仙能夠保佑航海安全，因此他們將其尊奉為「契爺」。🙏在面對重要事情時，漁民們會向契爺祈求「聖意」，並在船上⛵或家中設置他的神像，供奉祭拜，祈求保佑。

每年農曆五月中上旬，港澳漁民會在內港海面舉行朱大仙醮，祈求平安，例如香港仔合勝堂每年舉辦的朱大仙醮，活動內容包括灑淨、誦經、開印、大蒙山施食、供天、封印、金榜開光、水幽、過關、陸幽、讚星轉運、卜杯和送神等儀式。2014年，香港仔合勝堂的朱大仙醮被正式列入「香港非物質文化遺產清單」，這不僅是對傳統文化的肯定，也讓更多人了解這一獨特的漁民信仰。📜

想了解更多水上信仰的有趣知識，快來參觀香港海事博物館B層！

When it comes to Hong Kong's Tai Sin (deities), many people immediately think of Wong Tai Sin, known for his "wish-fulfilling" powers. However, for some fishermen in Hong Kong and Macau, there is another revered figure known as the "Godfather" — Chu Tai Sin. ✨

Legend has it that Chu Tai Sin is the god of medicine and is also seen as the incarnation of Da Yu. Fishermen believe he can ensure safe journeys at sea, and honor him as "Godfather." 🙏 When important matters arise, they turn to Chu Tai Sin for guidance, setting up his statue on their boats ⛵ or in their homes to offer prayers and seek his blessings.

Every year during the fifth lunar month, Hong Kong and Macau fishermen hold a ritual called the “Chu Tai Sin Jiao” in the inner harbor to pray for safety at sea, such as the Chu Tai Sin Jiao Festival organized by the Hap Sing Tong in Aberdeen. The festivities include cleansing, chanting scriptures, opening the seal, liberating the flaming mouths, making offerings to heaven, closing the seal, an enshrinement ceremony for the villagers’ name list, water ghost pacification, striding through the gates, land ghost pacification, praising the constellations to reverse fortunes, throwing divination blocks, and sending off deities, among others.

The ancestors of sea turtles first appeared on the planet🌍 around 150 million years ago. Being strong voyagers, sea turtles can travel thousands of kilometres between feeding grounds and nesting sites where they are born in the same beaches. This long-haul journey is, however, increasingly challenging in the face of the immense human threats, from habitat loss and pollution. Sea turtles are precious to the ocean and us. They play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, such as seagrass beds which support diverse marine life. Turtles also bear significant cultural meaning. Want to know more? 💡

海龜在全球面臨多種威脅，例如漁具纏繞🎣、船隻撞擊、棲息地減少、海洋污染及非法貿易等。此外，全球暖化的影響亦不容忽視，如水位上升及海水溫度升高🌡️，可能導致海龜失去繁殖的沙灘及改變覓食習慣。

綠海龜主要棲息於熱帶與亞熱帶地區水域🗺️，並進行長途遷徙，往來其覓食及繁殖地。在香港出沒的綠海龜可游到南中國海及東南亞一帶水域，牠們於夏季時經常出現在香港東部及南部水域。

為慶祝今年的✨世界海龜日（6月16日），香港海事博物館將聯合香港城市大學海洋動物影像解剖研究組於6月14日（星期六）舉辦本年度首個海龜實體工作坊「好龜宿: 從海龜的衣食住行育樂開始」，屆時將由海龜專家為大家揭開海龜鮮為人知的秘密。

Sea Turtles face many threats globally and locally, including fishing gear entanglement🎣, vessel collision, habitat degradation, marine pollution, and illegal trade in turtle products. Climate change is also a growing concern, as rising sea levels and ocean temperatures 🌡️ are affecting the species’ nesting beaches and altering their food sources.

Green Sea Turtle is a species of sea turtles widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the world 🗺️. They are known for long migrations, often traveling thousands of kilometers between their natal beaches and foraging grounds. Sea turtles found in Hong Kong can travel as far as to the South China Sea and Southeast Asia, and are often sighted in eastern and southern waters of Hong Kong in warm seasons.

In celebration of this year’s ✨World Sea Turtle Day (16 June), Hong Kong Maritime Museum will co-organize with Aquatic Animal Virtopsy Lab of the City University of Hong Kong our first “Sea Turtle Workshop: From Nest to Shore” on 14 June (Saturday). In conjunction with leading scientists in the field, we will unravel the mysteries of sea turtle life cycle.

【水獺鏟屎官的日常 – 齊來辨「便」🦦💩 Otter Stool Search Squad – which ones are otter stools? 】

嘉道理農場暨植物園（KFBG）為了調查行蹤神秘的歐亞水獺，除了使用紅外相機監測、訪問漁民及居民外📸，亦會採集水獺便便來進行遺傳學分析，以獲取水獺種群數量和個體活動範圍等重要保育信息。便便越是新鮮，遺傳物質保存得越好，分析的成功率也就越高。💩🔥大家猜一猜照片中，哪些才是真正的水獺糞便便？🤔

答案：只有圖1、3、5是水獺的便便！當中圖3和5的便便比較新鮮，顏色是灰黑色中帶點綠；圖1則是比較舊的便便，風乾後變為淺色，但仍可以看到裡面的魚鱗和魚骨。🐟

而圖2、4、6都是鳥類的食丸（食繭）——鳥類吐出來、難以消化的食物殘渣。🐦當中圖2和4是翠鳥的食丸，圖6則是鸕鷀的食丸。因為翠鳥和鸕鷀也以吃魚為主，所以牠們的食丸也主要是魚鱗和魚骨。🐠但相較於水獺便便，這些食丸的形状呈橢圓形或球形，而水獺的便便比較接近「條狀」或鬆散不成形；另外，食丸的顏色多是白色或灰白色的。

Studying wildlife could sometimes get your hands dirty. In search of the elusive Eurasian Otter in Hong Kong, apart from using camera traps, interviewing local fishermen and residents, 📸 Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) is also conducting otter stool search. DNA analysis from the collected samples would provide scientific evidence for the size of the otter population and the whereabouts each otter lives. The fresher the stools, the more genetic information can be extracted from the samples. 💩🔥 🤔 Can you guess which of these are otter stools?

Answer: Otter stools are shown in figure 1, 3 and 5 – those in figure 3 and 5 are rather fresh, indicated by their dark muddy green colour, whereas the one in figure 1 is dry and in a lighter colour. Fish scales and bones are evident in all of these pictures. 🐟

The rest of the pictures (figure 2, 4 and 6) are in fact pellets from birds. 🐦Pellets are indigestible parts of a bird’s food that some bird species regurgitate occasionally. The pellets in figure 2 and 4 are from kingfishers, and that in figure 6 is from a cormorant. As these birds mainly eat fish, their pellets are also largely made up of fish scales and bones. 🐠But unlike otter stools that are either sausage-shaped or mushy, pellets are round or elongated lumps that are often white or grey in colour. Did you get it right?

【守護香港最後的水獺 (講座) 🦦 Safeguarding the last otters in Hong Kong (Talk, Cantonese only) 】

你知道香港還有野生水獺嗎？曾幾何時，這些可愛的動物在維多利亞港甚至全港水域自由暢泳！🌊 而如今，牠們在香港和珠江三角洲的生存狀況又是如何呢？ 🤔

在今年的世界水獺日到來之際，香港海事博物館邀請到嘉道理農場暨植物園（KFBG）的研究人員，分享鮮爲人知的水獺的故事。多年來，KFBG一直致力於香港及華南地區的水獺保護，近年更開展了粵港澳大灣區的歐亞水獺調查，成功在多個地點重新發現水獺的蹤跡，為這個瀕臨滅絕的物種帶來新的保育希望。 🦦 ✨

在是次講座中，你將了解到水獺保育知識以及研究人員進行水獺考察的親身故事。讓我們一起為這些可愛的動物發聲，共同探索如何守護牠們的未來！ 🌍💙

Did you know that wild otters still live in Hong Kong? Once upon a time, they freely roamed around Victoria Harbour and throughout Hong Kong! 🌊 However, what is their current status in the City and the wider Pearl River Delta? 🤔

In celebration of this year’s World Otter Day, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum is delighted to host the research team from Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG), who will share little-known stories of otter conservation. For many years, KFBG has been dedicated itself to protecting otters in Hong Kong and South China. Their recent comprehensive survey of Eurasian otters in the Greater Bay Area has successfully documented otters’ occurrences in multiple locations—a promising sign for this endangered species. 🦦 ✨

Join in this talk to deepen your understanding of otter conservation and hear firsthand stories from KFBG’s researchers about their fieldwork. Let’s raise our voices for these lovely creatures and explore how we can contribute to securing their future! 🌍💙
