海象击沉俄罗斯海军船只，无人受伤

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

一只雌性海象袭击了一艘俄罗斯海军船只，导致其沉没。

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.

据美国有线电视新闻网报道，上周，海象袭击了一艘正在北冰洋探险的海军登陆艇，并将其沉入海底。

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

俄罗斯国防部说，事发时海象正在保护她的幼崽。

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.

北方舰队和俄罗斯地理学会的成员也在事故发生的船上。RGO表示，船上人员安全抵达海岸，无人受伤。

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

水手们在这一地区调查北极的动植物以及冰川。

"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.

国防部说：“由于北方舰队军人的明确和良好的协调行动，避免了严重的麻烦，他们能够在不伤害动物的情况下把船从动物身边带走。”

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

俄罗斯地理学会说：“这一事件再次证实，没有人在北极期待人类的到来。”
