海象擊沉俄羅斯海軍船只，無人受傷

A female walrus has attacked a Russian Navy boat, causing it to sink.

一只雌性海象襲擊了一艘俄羅斯海軍船只，導致其沉沒。

The walrus attacked a navy landing boat while it was exploring the Arctic Ocean last week, sending it to the bottom of the ocean, CNN reports.

據(jù)美國有線電視新聞網(wǎng)報道，上周，海象襲擊了一艘正在北冰洋探險的海軍登陸艇，并將其沉入海底。

The Russian Ministry of Defense says the walrus was protecting her calves when the incident occurred.

俄羅斯國防部說，事發(fā)時海象正在保護她的幼崽。

Members of the Northern Fleet and Russian Geographic Society were on board the boat for the incident. The RGO said those on board reached the shore safely and nobody was injured.

北方艦隊和俄羅斯地理學會的成員也在事故發(fā)生的船上。RGO表示，船上人員安全抵達海岸，無人受傷。

The sailors were in the area to investigate flora and fauna in the arctic, as well as glaciers.

水手們在這一地區(qū)調(diào)查北極的動植物以及冰川。

"Serious troubles were avoided thanks to the clear and well-coordinated actions of the Northern Fleet servicemen, who were able to take the boat away from the animals without harming them," the ministry said.

國防部說：“由于北方艦隊軍人的明確和良好的協(xié)調(diào)行動，避免了嚴重的麻煩，他們能夠在不傷害動物的情況下把船從動物身邊帶走。”

"The incident is another confirmation that no one is expecting humans in the Arctic," the Russian Geographic Society said.

俄羅斯地理學會說：“這一事件再次證實，沒有人在北極期待人類的到來。”
