Chapter 109: Sperm Whale
The killer whale took Su Jing and swam rapidly for more than an hour before stopping.
Su Jing didn't know how far away from the shore was, he couldn't see the shore at all when he turned around, the vast sea, he felt very small and helpless, if he didn't have killer whales as his companions, he would definitely be panicked if he wasn't here alone.
"Xiaohu, is it around here?" asked Su Jing.
"Yes. The killer whale screamed.
"But there's no sperm whale here, and there's no ambergris. Su Jing said, directing the killer whale to continue to swim forward, and circled around a radius of several kilometers, but still did not see any trace of the sperm whale.
"Hey, that's ......" Su Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he commanded the killer whale to swim over, and then saw clearly that there were several large black things suspended on the sea, which should be the excrement of sperm whales. Su Jing thought about it for a while, and didn't collect them, this is obviously just excreted, there is no value, at least soak for more than ten years, in order to have some value, at least soak for a few decades, in order to really be considered a treasure, but who wants to wait so long? To collect, at least you have to collect it for more than ten years.
"Sperm whales are definitely nearby. Su Jing thought so, and suddenly heard a "click" sound, the killer whale suddenly screamed happily, Su Jing's eyes also lit up, he had learned about sperm whales when he read nature magazines, and this "click" sound should have come from sperm whales.
"Xiaohu, dive down and take a look. Su Jing put on the diving goggles and grabbed the dorsal fin of the killer whale, and the killer whale went into the sea and dived without hurry. After diving until 100 meters, Su Jing only felt a little uncomfortable, so he continued to dive, 110 meters, 120 meters...... It wasn't until about two hundred meters that Su Jing finally felt very uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked the killer whale to stop slowly.
However, there is still no sperm whale in sight, the sperm whale dives into the sea, it should be predatoring, and the sperm whale is used to hunting in the sea area up to 800 meters deep, and if you want to see the predation picture of the sperm whale, this depth is still far away.
"Or, dive deeper. Su Jing hesitated between giving up and continuing to dive, and finally decided to dive again, but he knew that he would not last long if he continued to dive, and he had to be ready to swim back to the surface at any time to breathe.
After receiving Su Jing's order, the killer whale continued to dive, two hundred and ten meters, two hundred and twenty meters...... Three hundred and ten meters, three hundred and twenty meters, Su Jing felt that his entire body was flattened by the seawater, and the breath in his lungs was about to be stifled out.
Helpless, Su Jing could only let the killer whale swim back to the sea with him to take a breath.
However, Su Jing did not give up, changed his position, and let the killer whale dive again, so tossed three times, and when the fourth dive was more than 300 meters deep, Su Jing finally saw a sperm whale of about ten meters, its head was disproportionately large, it looked like a huge tadpole, I saw that the sperm whale was swimming rapidly towards a squid, the squid was actually very large, estimated to be six or seven meters long, for Su Jing is a behemoth, but compared to the huge sperm whale, it looks very small.
Su Jing hurriedly let the killer whale catch up, and at the same time took out the camera to shoot, feeling a little excited.
Since sperm whales are accustomed to deep-sea predation, it is difficult to photograph the predation process.
On October 15, 2009, a photographer spotted a female sperm whale and her calf in the waters off the Ogasawara Islands in Japan. In this photograph taken by the photographer, the sperm whale mother is holding a giant squid about 9 meters long in her mouth. The photo was featured in National Geographic and became one of the most popular atlases.
However, the photographer only captured the sperm whale holding a squid in its mouth on the surface of the sea, and did not capture the entire predation process.
Therefore, if Su Jing filmed the whole process, there is no doubt that it will be of great significance.
"Click. I saw that while the sperm whale was chasing the squid, it sent out a sound pulse attack, which shook the squid almost dizzy. Then he quickly caught up and bit the giant squid in his mouth, and then swallowed it in one gulp, and the squid had no power to resist at all. Then the sperm whale began to look for other prey, and even sent a sound wave towards Su Jing, who quickly told the killer whale to evacuate upstream.
"Ah" As soon as he got on the water, Su Jing greedily breathed in the fresh air, and only after his breathing was stable did he laugh and said, "The whole predation process was filmed, if you show Wu Min's guy, I don't know how he will react." ”
Su Jing thought, Wu Min mentioned last time that Nature Magazine was about to open a column on marine life, if he took this photo, it should not be difficult to get on the magazine, but Su Jing only needed to sell the photo for money, and he could give Wu Min the right of authorship to help him.
Not far away, a sperm whale suddenly floated up and spewed out a column of water. Immediately afterwards, one after another sperm whales floated up, sperm whales like to move in groups, often forming small groups of 5-10 individuals, sometimes forming large groups of several hundred individuals, this group is more than 20 individuals.
"Step back. Su Jing asked the killer whales to retreat and frantically take photos and videos, this kind of opportunity to see so many sperm whales with his own eyes is not available at any time, so he naturally has to leave a memorial. While watching, Su Jing sighed at the miracle of the creator and sighed that this trip to the sea was too worthwhile.
It wasn't until he had seen enough that Su Jing let the killer whale leave, but Su Jing didn't go home directly, but let the killer whale continue to look nearby to see if he could find ambergris.
In fact, Su Jing knew that the probability of finding it was very low, after all, there were wind and waves here, and killer whales consumed a lot of time back and forth, even if there were other ambergris where killer whales found ambergris, they didn't know where they had drifted now.
However, if you don't look for it, there must be none, and if you do, there is always a glimmer of hope, right?
Su Jing commanded the killer whales to swim in the direction of the wind and waves, and after swimming more than ten kilometers, he saw a small island from a distance, and what made Su Jing's eyes light up even more was that there was a bay on the island, like a funnel, and the sea water poured into it. If you get closer, you can see that the bay is full of sand underneath, and there is also a sandy beach on the shore, and there are a few coconut trees on the seaside, if it is not a desert island, it must be a good place to play.
Su Jing looked at the beach, his pupils suddenly shrank, and from a distance, there were a small amount of wood, coconut shells and the like on the beach, which was not the point, the point was that there were seven or eight scattered "stones", some brown, some gray, they all looked like ambergris.
"It can't really be so much ambergris, right?" Su Jing's heartbeat accelerated, because the water near the shore was too shallow, and the killer whales couldn't swim, so Su Jing jumped into the sea and quickly swam to the shore, in his eyes, the seven or eight stones were as tempting as seven or eight swimsuit beauties.
