Chapter 408 Hunting
The crew didn't know why Ye Yuan was standing here looking at the scenery.It was just an illusion he created.

His real purpose is to use his perception to find a school of fish suitable for him to attack.

But the sky didn't go his way, after so long, there wasn't a single school of fish that he caught his eye. Just when he was about to withdraw his perception and take a rest, that guy Ma Hua ran over happily again.

"Boss, boss, have you seen a dolphin?"

Seeing this guy coming again, Ye Yuan wanted to frown and say something to him, but after hearing his words, he looked in the direction of his fingers.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, after seeing it, Ye Yuan blurted out:

"I'll go! You woodbone, is that a dolphin? That's a pod of pilot whales, okay? What kind of dolphin have you ever seen with a head that big?"

Ma Hua rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment:
"Hehe, aren't dolphins also whales? There are so many types of whales, so it's not surprising that they can't tell them apart occasionally, right?"

Ye Yuan smiled, and from what Ma Huading said, it could be seen that this guy did a lot of homework in private.Otherwise he wouldn't have said it.

If all dolphins are classified according to classification, finless porpoises are actually considered to be cetaceans.

According to taxonomy, they are all dolphins of the toothed whale suborder of whales.

In layman's terms, dolphins are small whales, such as killer whales, false killer whales, and pilot whales that everyone is familiar with, all belong to the dolphin family, and most people really don't know it.

After Ye Yuan saw a group of pilot whales, he also became interested. He didn't have time to continue talking nonsense with Ma Hua, so he directly took a telescope and lay down on the side of the boat to watch.

In the distance, a group of pilot whales were advancing, what surprised Ye Yuan the most was a ship was following these pilot whales.

There were still people on board with cameras filming.

Pilot whales are timid by nature, have the habit of swimming in groups, and will swim with other companions, especially head whales.

The body length of the pilot whale is generally about 6 meters, the whole body is dark gray, the belly color is abnormally light, and the dorsal fin is triangular.

Its kiss is very short. Viewed from the side, the forehead is round and bulging, and the boundary between the head and the torso is extremely unclear, which makes their heads look very large.

There are two types of pilot whales: long-finned pilot whales and short-finned pilot whales.

Because their bodies are similar to dolphins, but their heads are slightly bigger than dolphins, so it is normal that Ma Hua didn't make a clear distinction just now.

"Boss, what do you think the boat has been doing with this group of whales?"

Yu Hongbo also came to Ye Yuan's side at this time, and asked suspiciously.

After Ye Yuan looked through the telescope again, he said uncertainly:
"Maybe it's a documentary, I can't tell"

At the side, Ma Hua curled her lips with a look of disgust:

"What's the point of photographing a group of pilot whales? I'd say it's more interesting than photographing killer whales or great white sharks."

"That's not necessarily true. Look over there."

Ye Yuan found something interesting in the telescope.

Hearing what Ye Yuan said, the crew members also gathered around, each holding a telescope in their hands and looking in the direction of Ye Yuan's finger.

In the direction of Ye Yuan's finger, two jets of water erupted from the distant sea.

With the jet of water, a huge figure jumped out of the sea.Then it slammed back into the water heavily, causing a splash of water more than ten meters high.

"Boss, what is that? Good guy, that head should be a whale too, right?"

This time Ma Hua learned to be smart, so she asked Ye Yuan first.

"Well! That's a gray whale. It's a kind of baleen whale, and it's a very interesting whale."

"Boss, have you seen the little whale behind that gray whale? It's so cute."

"It's not surprising that there are small gray whales. This is the breeding ground for gray whales. It's normal to see gray whales with their children here."

"What did you just say it doesn't necessarily mean?"

Ma Hua asked in confusion.

"What do you mean, didn't you see this group of pilot whales passing by?

What does this mean?This means that they are about to start hunting. Do you think it is a big gain for those who make documentaries to capture these? "

"No way? This pilot whale is not as big as the little gray whale. Is it possible that they want to hunt a gray whale that is much bigger than them?"

Ma Hua observed with a telescope for a long time before saying.

"Then maybe, although these pilot whales are not as ferocious as killer whales, they are at the top of the marine life chain, but they can't stand up to their numbers, can they?
Also, you may not know that these guys only eat the tongue and lips of gray whales, they really don't eat much else. "

Ye Yuan said seriously.

"Isn't it? That's too extravagant, these prodigals."

This time it was You Zhiyong who was surprised.

"Why not, that's because gray whales' tongues and lips are rich in protein and fat, which are their favorite things to eat."

"Boss, do you think that if the group of pilot whales really wanted to attack the mother and child, would those documentaries go up and stop it?"

"What do you say?"

Ye Yuan didn't answer the question.

"If I did, it would be cruel to watch those whales go eat a gray whale calf."

Ma Hua helped and said.

"When shooting a documentary, there is a principle of non-interference, don't you know?

They only show their eyes, and they are responsible for recording everything they see, and they will not interfere with the subjects being photographed. "

Ye Yuan explained.

"You said that if there were really wild beasts eating people when they were filming, would they not go up there?"

This guy Ma Hua's brain is not so big.

Ye Yuan shook his head angrily:
"Then I don't know, why don't you swim over and ask those people?"

While several people were still discussing here, the pilot whale really attacked the pair of gray whale mother and child.

I saw a group of pilots rushing towards the two gray whales.

The pilot whales have a clear division of labor, and some pilot whales bite the tail and pectoral fins of the small gray whale to prevent him from swimming.

The remaining pilot whales jumped out of the sea one after another, using their bodies to desperately push the little gray whale into the sea.

At this time, the gray whale mother used her huge body to desperately push the gray whale to the surface of the water.

At the same time, it also uses the body protector Xiao Gray Whale to prevent it from being attacked by more pilot whales.

Because the mother gray whale is too large and slow, facing the attack of a group of pilot whales, there is always a feeling of stretching.

The sea in the distance was chaotic, and that guy Ma Hua put down his binoculars at this moment:
"I can't stand it anymore, it's too cruel, hey, that's just a child, why are you so cruel? Why don't you boss... let's... sail over there to stop it?"

After Ma Hua said, she obviously lacked confidence.

Ye Yuan really didn't expect that Ma Hua, who usually looks carefree, actually has a glass heart.

He walked over and patted the guy on the shoulder as a reassurance.

"Don't think so much, this is the law of nature, how much can you manage?"
