一 | (ECNS) -- A male West African manatee calf named Bixin has turned one month old at Chimelong Spaceship, an indoor theme park in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, joining China’s largest captive conservation population of the species. Born on July 1, Bixin is the largest manatee calf born at Chimelong to date. At seven days old, he weighed 45.25 kilograms and measured 136 centimeters in length. The calf has a calm temperament and distinctive features, including darker skin and longer front flippers. His mother, Baobao, has been providing attentive care. The experienced mother often swims close to her calf, gently touches his back with her tail and supports him with her front flippers, helping strengthen the bond between them. Manatees are believed to have inspired ancient legends of mermaids. The West African manatee, one of the world’s three manatee species, is listed in Appendix I to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Its wild population has declined in recent years due to habitat loss and other threats. To support the conservation of the species, Chimelong Group has focused on improving habitats and developing breeding techniques. In 2018, Chimelong successfully bred the world’s first West African manatee calf born under human care in nearly 50 years. The facility has since established one of the few stable breeding populations of West African manatees in the world. 。 (ECNS) -- A freight train carrying over 200 metric tons of fresh plums departed from Aksu, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, for Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, on Monday, marking the launch of the region’s first cold-chain express train service for local fresh fruits. To facilitate the nationwide distribution of regional specialties like apples in Aksu and plums in Jiashi county, Xinjiang railway authorities partnered with China Railway Special Cargo Logistics Co., Ltd., utilizing refrigerated containers to build a direct cold-chain transport corridor for fruits from southern Xinjiang to the market of the Yangtze River Delta. The advanced refrigerated containers used for this transport allow 24-hour real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and location, which customers can track via a mobile mini-program. To protect the fruits, operators optimized the loading process to under four hours, improving efficiency by over 20% and ensuring same-day dispatch. This new service highlights the growing capacity of Xinjiang’s logistics sector, with the region’s railway freight volume reaching 145 million metric tons in the first seven months of this year, representing a 3.9% year-on-year increase.
