My Deep-sea Fishery

Then Xiang Yang looked at the blue whale again.

If the blue whale is the lion in the ocean, then the blue whale is definitely the elephant in the ocean.

In the ocean, the niche of blue whales is very close to that of elephants on land.

In the African savannah, although lions are killing all around, they seldom attack adult elephants, because they hunt animals that are several times larger than their own and will be injured.

The same is true for killer whales. Although blue whales are baleen whales and have no teeth, a single flick of its huge size may severely injure killer whales. Therefore, in Xiang Yang's memory, killer whales kill blue whales very rarely.

And the ocean is different from the prairie.

The lions on the grasslands lack food in the dry season, and sometimes have to risk being trampled to death to hunt elephants.

In the ocean, killer whales have plenty of food.

And most of the killer whales are easy to hunt, such as seals, sea lions, fur seals, walruses, and other small cetaceans.

With such ample prey, it is generally unnecessary for killer whales to risk attacking large whales, including blue whales, sperm whales, and so on.

Then Xiang Yang looked at the four humpback whales at the bow that were still chasing each other on the front side of the fishing boat, but had not noticed the presence of a few humpback whales in the group of killer whales behind him.

If in the ocean, killer whales are lions and the niche of blue whales is very close to that of elephants on land, then humpback whales are definitely rhinos in the ocean.

Like rhinos, humpback whales are also the masters of rampage and head strikes, and they are usually very docile. Once angry, lions are afraid and their eyesight is not very good.

"Slow down the ship, the blue whale is not directed at us, let it swim over first." Now that he knows that the blue whale is not directed at himself, Xiang Yang naturally has nothing to worry about. Through the intercom, let the person in the driver's cab slow the boat down.

"Brother Yang, did you say that this blue whale didn't come for us? Then which one did he come for?" Fang Youqun wondered.

Fang Youqun's eyes kept peeking at the surrounding fishing boats, wondering which fishing boat this blue whale was aiming at.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, "Don't glance, this blue whale didn't come to the boat, it was running for its life, and there was an orcas chasing it behind it."

After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.

At this moment, the blue whale is a few hundred meters away from the fishing boat, and the group of killer whales are farther away from the blue whale. At such a distance, the group of killer whales are all underwater. How can Xiang Yang be separated by this? Seeing the group of killer whales from a distance is hard to explain.

Sure enough, someone was going to make trouble in the next moment.

"What? Killer whale? Brother Yang, are you saying that blue whales are afraid of killer whales? Hey, that's wrong, why didn't I see the killer whales." Fang Youqun craned his neck and looked behind the fishing boat, very puzzled.

Xiang Yang made up an excuse, "Just now, your attention was all attracted by the blue whale. Without noticing it, another killer whale emerged."

"Really?" Fang Youqun asked with suspicion.

"Otherwise, what do you think? I called the group of killer whales?" Xiang Yang pretended to be impatient.

Fang Youqun touched his head in embarrassment, and then hurriedly changed the subject: "Brother Yang, if we don’t take action, can the group of killer whales kill this blue whale? If this blue whale is bitten by the killer whale. If it’s dead, let’s chase away the group of killer whales and fish up the carcass of the blue whale. Isn’t it even legal to catch a blue whale?"

Xiang Yang was amused by Fang Youqun's words, "You are really a logical ghost, but it is not normal for killer whales to kill blue whales. In addition, the size of this blue whale among blue whales is considered to be very large, plus There are four adult humpback whales not far in front of us. If nothing else, that blue whale cannot be killed."

In March, the blue whale that was killed by the killer whale on the west coast of Australia was reported to have a body length of only 15 meters, and it also strayed into the breeding ground of the killer whale.

In Xiang Yang's view, the 15-meter-long blue whale is not an adult blue whale at all.

The blue whale is the largest animal in the world. The adult body is large and the cubs are not small. In fact, the blue whale has a body length of about seven meters and a weight of about 2.5 tons from the moment of birth. The killer whale is approaching adulthood.

Blue whale cubs only have a breastfeeding period of about six months. During breastfeeding, the weight of blue whale cubs will increase dramatically.

Blue whale baby whales grow rapidly at a weight of about 100 kilograms per day. After the lactation period is over, under normal circumstances, the baby whale can grow to twice as long as it was born, which is 14 meters long. In one month, the baby whale can grow to about 15 meters while preying on its own.

The blue whale reported by the British "Daily Mail" is only 15 meters long, which means that this is a baby whale that has just been weaned for about a month.

It has just begun to live alone and is unfamiliar with everything in the ocean, and only then has it strayed into the breeding grounds of killer whales.

In Xiang Yang's view, the blue whale may have entered the orcas breeding ground by mistake, angering the breeding orcas, and this caused the killing.

Besides, a blue whale cub broke into the middle of a large group of killer whales. Even if the killer whales were not angered, so many killer whales faced a juvenile blue whale, how could the clever killer whale group let go of this fat mouth? ?

After all, the combat experience and swimming speed of the baby blue whales are not yet mature.

Therefore, in Xiang Yang's view, the death of that blue whale cannot be counted as a frequent battle between killer whales and blue whales.

Even a juvenile blue whale, according to the "Daily Mail" report, the juvenile blue whale was finally killed by 75 killer whales after a three-hour bite. .

If it is an adult blue whale, whether it can be killed or not is still a matter of question. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Fang Youqun shrank his head and continued to ask: "Brother Yang, since it is not normal for orcas to kill blue whales, and there is a high probability that the blue whale will not be killed, why do the killer whales bother to kill blue whales? Why is this blue whale running away?"

Xiang Yang shrugged, "Who knows the likes of killer whales, they have always had a soft spot for mammals. As for why blue whales run away, if you fight with people, if you can't beat them, you will be killed because they won't be killed. You, you won't run away, lie there and be beaten by others?"

Fang Youqun smiled, "That can't be."

"Huh?" At this moment, Xiang Yang suddenly noticed that the humpback whales swimming in the water suddenly turned around and looked behind.

Through the big eyes of the humpback whales, Xiang Yang clearly saw the humanized doubts in the eyes of these humpback whales.

"Look, these humpback whales should have discovered the group of killer whales." Xiang Yang pointed to the group of humpback whales.
