Steller’s Sea Cow / 斯特勒海牛

Steller’s sea cow appears in 120.蓝狐岛:伟大事业中的雄心与现实 through Georg Wilhelm Steller / 乔治·威廉·斯特勒’s observations during the Bering Island / 白令岛 survival winter. The episode says the animal helped feed the stranded crew, while Steller’s specimens and descriptions were constrained by the practical need to return alive.

In this source, Steller’s sea cow functions as a sharp island-ecology signal. It links scientific discovery, emergency subsistence, later marine-animal exploitation, and the broader pattern captured by Island Extinction After Human Arrival and Exploration To Extraction Pipeline.
