Xiao Peng saw that the big-winged whale that he had just played with the Spiritual Enlightenment Technique was indeed in front of them not far in front of their ship, and Yang Meng lowered the speed of the boat: "What's the hair?"

Xiao Peng didn't understand, what was going on with this big-winged whale?

He ran to the bow of the boat, only to find that there was a small whale next to the big fin whale, why did he still bring a child?

Seeing Xiao Peng walking on the deck, the bigfin whale stretched out a pectoral fin sideways, and kept swaying sideways at Xiao Peng, looking anxious. Xiao Peng realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the little whale, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Seems a bit big?

Another reason why the calves of this bigfin whale have a higher survival rate than the gray whale when they are attacked by other toothed whales is because the gray whale is a mother whale who raises the calves alone, while the bigfin whales are parents who take care of the calves together. But why is there just a calf here? Daddy Whale?

Xiao Peng scratched his head and said to Yang Meng: "Stop the boat! I'll go down and take a look!"

Yang Meng nodded after hearing this, and stopped the boat.

Xiao Peng jumped directly into the sea, and when he entered the water, Xiao Peng found that something was wrong, the little whale didn't look injured, but the little whale looked a little wrong! The little whale looked a little wrong. Judging from the degree of recovery from the umbilical cord rupture on its body, it should be a calf that has only been born for a few days. But why is this Nima so big? It can be seven or eight meters long, right? This big-finned whale is only about four or five meters when it is born, right?

Moreover, the big fin whales are all 'short and wide' types, how can this calf be so slim? The color is also blue-gray, lighter.

Xiao Peng looked at how the little whale looked and felt that there was a problem, and suddenly he understood! Damn, he knew what the problem was! This little whale didn't have a nodule on its head!

In order to reduce swimming resistance, the vast majority of whales have completely lost their body hair and are bare, while the vast majority of baleen whales, except for the laryngeal fold under the broken head, are relatively smooth.

But bigfin whales are different, their heads are nodules, like a large pimple, and the tip of each pimple has several short but hard bristles. But what is the situation with the collar of this calf's head that has no nodules at all, smooth and flat?

The mother whale dragged the young whale close to the surface of the water to let it breathe, and now the young whale lungs are not big, and they can only hold their breath underwater for five minutes, and the water nature is not very good, and the physical strength is not good, and they are exhausted after swimming for a while, so the mother whale often has to hold it.

This is also the most dangerous time for the baby whale. Most calves die at this time.

Xiao Peng touched the big whale and frowned: "Is there anything wrong with this little whale? Everything is normal。。。。。。 Huh, isn't that a whale song?"

The calf was trying to sing a whale song there, but Xiao Peng realized that something was wrong.

"Throw me your phone!" Xiao Peng waved to the boat.

When Yang Meng heard it, he directly threw his mobile phone to Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng directly recorded this whale song, and after testing it, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "it。。。。。。。 "No wonder the big whale is looking for itself, it turns out that this is the reason!

Without saying a word, he directly branded the young whale with the spiritual enlightenment technique, and directly told the mother whale the location of Qianli Rock. Then he motioned for the fierce son to pull him back to the boat.

Xiao Peng threw the phone back to Yang Meng. Yang Meng asked curiously, "What's the matter?" Why did the whale come and block the road and leave?"

Xiao Peng pouted at Yang Meng's mobile phone: "Look at the numbers on it!"

Yang Meng unlocked the lock screen of his mobile phone and glanced at it: "52? Damn! This is a 52 Hz whale song?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right, that whale is a mixed race, and it looks like a blue whale and a big-fin whale." Or is it that big?"

Yang Meng sighed after hearing this: "That's pitiful." Gotcha, let's go. ”

Sun Pengcheng was confused after listening to the conversation between the two, and followed the two back to the cockpit: "Brother Peng, Mengzi, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Peng replied: "You know that this big-fin whale is a singer, right? Usually they rely on singing whale songs to communicate with their kind, and their whale songs can spread hundreds of nautical miles in the sea, and they rely on whale songs to find companions to form whale groups to find companions, so in the sea, we often see large groups of big-fin whales organizing together by singing and then migrating and hunting. ”

Sun Pengcheng nodded: "I know about this, you told me." ”

"But here comes the problem, although whales have ears, but the general animals rely on sound from the outer ear to the estimation, and then into the inner ear brain perception, and whales do not rely on the outer ear to listen to sound, but rely on the fat layer at the chin to the middle ear, they live in the sea, relying on keen hearing, but different cetaceans have huge differences in hearing ability, baleen whales can accept infrasound waves with a frequency so low that humans are difficult to detect, which allows them to communicate over long distances, so the whale song of the bigfin whale can travel hundreds of nautical miles, but the situation of toothed whales is the opposite, they rely on ultrasound, and the frequency of this sound wave is too high, so humans can not hear。 Xiao Peng explained.

Sun Pengcheng didn't understand: "What does this have to do with the 52 hertz you said?"

Xiao Peng said: "This shows a problem, if the frequency of whale singing is too high, other big-fin whales will not be able to hear its sound." The frequency of normal baleen whales is 15-25 Hz, and the great-finned whale can be a little better, the highest is less than 50 Hz, and in the eyes of other bigfin whales, it is a dumb person, and it can't communicate with other bigfin whales at all. There is a whale in the world, called 'Alice', this is the case, from 1989 when it was first discovered, in 1992 began scientific research to record its pronunciation, until 2014 when its voice was recorded for the last time, it is alone, can not find a companion, so it is known as 'the world's loneliest whale'. The song "52 Hz" written by the singer of Baodao is written about it, and Lin Zhixuan's "52 Hz, I Love You" is written about it. ”

Sun Pengcheng blinked: "If this little whale and Alice get together, then it can be regarded as finding a companion, right?"

Xiao Peng said: "The last time Alice was recorded singing was in 2014, and that year, the person responsible for recording his singing voice died. It has not been heard from since. Now no one knows if it's still alive. However, 52 Hz is not an accident, it is just that people have not paid attention to it. People have only paid attention to this phenomenon since 'Alice' appeared in front of people. ”

"Isn't it an accident?" asked Sun Pengcheng puzzled.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Although it is not very common, it is not nothing." This is the case with the descendants of hybrid baleen whales, like Alice is supposed to be a cross between a blue whale and a gray whale, but hybrid baleen whales are rare in their own right, and even rarer. In 2010, a research team caught a whale song of this hertz frequency for the first time, and it was transmitted from two places at the same time, which means that there is at least one whale of the same frequency as Alice. ”

Sun Pengcheng thought for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "By the way, Brother Peng, I found a problem, your fishing grounds are full of toothed whales, right? Why are there no baleen whales? You see how good this baleen whale is? It is big and docile, if there are baleen whales in Sidao Town, I guarantee that there will be more whale watchers." ”

Yang Meng glanced at him after hearing this: "We are all gentlemen, naturally we like to be more fierce, you see our group of killer whales, that is the overlord of the ocean, who catches and destroys whom! The great white shark in our fishing ground, 'Big White', you know? Once the brain was pumped, and he provoked the killer whale for food, it was really a second kill! Since then, Da Bai has seen the killer whale go around directly. ”

Sun Pengcheng was taken aback when he heard this: "The great white shark in your fishing ground let the killer whales kill in seconds, isn't it?"

"Really!" Yang Meng said: "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it, you imagine, speaking of the great white shark, it is the killer of the ocean, and when it comes to killer whales。。。。。。 How cute it is! As a result, the great white shark was the vegetable when it really fought, and the 'tiger' hit it! Directly hit the belly of the 'big white' upward, and the 'big white' did not move. Let it be slaughtered. It was as if Huzi didn't bother to eat it at all, and left directly with the whales, but it took a few minutes for 'Dabai' to come to his senses. ”

Xiao Peng explained: "If the cartilaginous fish has its belly facing the sky, it will enter a period of 'tonic stillness', and will enter a state similar to 'sleep', as long as the belly is upward, any shark, stingray and other cartilaginous fish will lose their combat ability." In the sea, if the shark hears the sound of the killer whale, it will run away directly, and the 'big white' will also float in our fishing ground, right? Dare to provoke the killer whale? What is the difference between this and a little ruffian encountering special forces?"

"This combat power gap is so big?" Sun Pengcheng's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng nodded: "That is, fortunately, killer whales don't like to eat sharks, otherwise sharks would be even more miserable------ killer whales support eating shark liver even if they kill sharks." Australia's Neptune Islands are a world-famous shark watching destination, and in 2015, four adult killer whales with their two cubs ran over there to teach baby killer whales how to kill sharks. But I would say that it really has nothing to do with the fact that we don't have baleen whales there. ”

"Why is that?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "I have a dense phobia! Seeing those dense barnacles growing on the baleen whale, my scalp is numb!"

"I'll go, what do I think, just pull it out?" Yang Meng said disdainfully.

Xiao Peng gave him a blank look: "It's all in the long skin, pull out a fart! Unless you pull out a layer of skin for them, do you think it's possible?"
