Though in the spotlight, their lives are not easy. They wake up early every morning to wait for passing visitors who want to take pictures. Through reservations, some photographers will request the pair to pose for pictures like throwing fish nets and supporting bamboo rafts. Besides, they have to train their cormorant everyday, mend fish nets, and even learn foreign languages.
