Chapter 62: Whale Watching

After taking a photo of the dolphin jumping out of the water, Wang Yuxin put away the camera with satisfaction and waved at the dolphin.

The captain knew that the two girls probably wanted to touch the dolphins, so he instructed: "It's better to have something in your hand to lure the dolphins over." ”

Yi Anne thought for a moment, picked up the paper bag containing the food that had been left on the boat, and waved it at the dolphin.

The two dolphins did get closer, but they were still two arm's lengths away from the assault boat.

Anne opened the paper bag and took out a piece of cold fried potatoes and placed it in her hand.

Perhaps because the potatoes and seafood were close together, contaminated with the smell of some shellfish, the dolphins continued to get closer, and a "clucking" sound came from their long beaks. Just as they were approaching Iannie, they suddenly turned around and swam away.

"What's going on?" Anne was dumbfounded.

Wang Yuxin pointed to the fried potatoes and said, "They probably dislike you......"

Anne wept and didn't want to speak.

Wang Yuxin brought up a photo from the camera to show Yi Annie, in the photo, Yi Annie's hair was flying in the early morning sea breeze, and her outstretched hand touched the dolphin's long beak, and the waves reflected the morning light, which was very beautiful.

“Emmmm…… I borrowed the position to shoot when I really touched the dolphin......" Yi Annie couldn't laugh or cry.

In this way, the dolphin also saw it, and the captain continued to control the assault boat forward.

The two dolphins saw that the boat was no longer playing with them, and after a short chase they disappeared into the sea.

"It's a pity I didn't touch it." Yi Annie was still muttering to herself, causing Wang Yuxin to roll her eyes a few times.

The captain laughed: "This season is still a bit early, and there will be a lot more dolphins in a month later, and they will be more daring to approach humans at that time." ”

Along the way, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin have seen the whale water column mist and whale tail fin in the distance many times, and it is not a pity to miss a few dolphins at this time, after all, they are here to watch whales, and the protagonist of this trip to sea is still in the distance.

Wang Yuxin pointed to the nearest mist and said to the captain: "Captain, can you hurry up and go around the back of that whale?" ”

"Okay, no problem!" The captain took control of the ship and went around in that direction.

Yi Annie looked back at the rising sun in the direction of the shore, and immediately understood Wang Yuxin's purpose: "I feel that I can really photograph the whale fire this time." ”

Whale Breath refers to the refraction of the light from the whale mist in the early morning or evening when the angle of the sun's rays is very small to the sea level, making the mist look like a fire floating on the sea. To see whale breath, you need to combine the time of day – that is, early in the morning when the sun rises or before dusk and sunset – and the location – the whale watching boat needs to be at a certain angle.

By the time the boat sailed into the waters, the whale that had just sprayed the water was gone.

The captain judged: "That whale should not run too far, and it did not show its vertical tail fin after spraying water just now, which means that it did not dive, and it should come out soon." ”

All three people on board stood up and tried to find the whale's exit point.

Suddenly, Eaanne pointed to the side of the boat and shouted, "There! ”

Wang Yuxin hurriedly pointed the camera in the direction that Yi Annie was pointing.

Beneath the deep blue and blue-black waters, a huge, darker shadow approached the water.

Soon, a huge black object with pimples cut through the water, and Anne could clearly see the barnacles on the humpback whale's head. The head of this humpback whale was about the size of an entire assault boat, and as it swam past the assault boat, the whale's black eyes seemed to meet Anne's.

The head then sinks into the water, where the exposed part has two air vents side by side.

As if in slow motion, the vent squirmed, and then two jets of water erupted, and the mist split in half at the top to form a heart.

The three people on the boat couldn't help but look up with the column of water, and in the refraction of the light of the morning light and the mist, this heart-shaped mist danced like flowing gold.

"Finally meet, perfect whale fire ......" Anne's voice seemed to come from deep in her chest, with a heart-pounding throbbing.

This time, the whale flicked its tail and went deeper.

The captain hurriedly set sail, and their current position was basically directly above the whale's dive, and the humpback whale's tonnage creature would produce vortices on the surface of the sea when it dived quickly, and a small assault boat would be overturned if one was not careful.

Wang Yuxin held her camera and muttered something like "My wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets in this life".

The captain smiled and asked, "Can you give us a copy of this photo for publicity at that time?" We've seen a lot, but we've rarely had the opportunity to capture it. ”

Wang Yuxin nodded and agreed: "As long as you write my name, there will be no problem." ”

At this time, a noisy voice came from the captain's walkie-talkie, and the captain picked it up and listened to it for a while and said, "There are a few whales nearby that have just entered this sea area and are hunting, let's go over and take a look." ”

Wang Yuxin and Yi Annie naturally had no opinion, and the captain turned the bow of the ship and sailed in one direction.

Humpback whales that come in groups naturally hunt when they first enter the area, and the most unique hunting technique of humpback whale groups is called blister net hunting. A group of whales swims rapidly in a large circle below the school, and then uses their blowholes to blast upwards to form a blister net, forcing the school of fish into a denser. Suddenly, they will open their mouths wide and move upwards, swallowing thousands of schools of fish in one gulp. When whales work together in this method, groups can size up to 12 and blister nets can be up to 30 meters in diameter.

This is arguably the most exotic way of hunting among marine mammals, and I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it this time.

Following the direction of the assault boat, the three of them saw a lot of mist, and it was obvious that many whales were gathered here.

Just as she was about to continue on, Anne suddenly pointed to the water and shouted, "The whale is coming!" ”

In the dark water, there is a turquoise shadow, which is the color of the sea water against the background of the whale's belly. The light-colored shadow rises quickly, getting closer and closer to the water.

In an instant, the whale jumped out of the sea against the assault boat and flew over the heads of the three people.

"it!" The captain couldn't help but let out a foul mouth.

Before Anne could react, the whale fell into the water from the other side of the boat, making a huge splash that doused the three of them.

This is not the end, after the whale entered the water, the huge tail fin knocked on the boat, only the humpback whale less than a third of the size of the assault boat turned violently on its side, and when the boat came back, there were only two people left.

Wang Yuxin and the captain looked at each other......

"Annie!" Wang Yuxin screamed in horror.
