Chapter 167: The Battle Between the Sea Behemoths
After the bluefin tuna was placed, it was not yet time to eat, so the three of them continued to fish for a while.
Although I didn't catch any more precious fish, I did catch a few more sea fish such as some common sea bass.
Knowing that the chef had come to the deck and informed everyone that it was time to eat, the three of them stopped.
Today's lunch on the boat is still based on seafood, but today the chef made a braised pork for everyone, and then slipped a pot of cantaloupe.
As a result, when eating, the seafood did not move much, and the braised pork and cantaloupe were all eaten by everyone.
After eating, the group had just come to the deck, when suddenly a crew member shouted: "Look at the sea, everyone!" ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly ran to the side of the ship and looked at the sea in the distance.
It turned out that on the sea not far from them, there was a group of black and white "sea stalks" hunting, and the object of prey seemed to be a group of horsefish.
There are about seven or eight of these killer whales, known as the "Devils of the Sea", and they are still making calls and echoing each other when they hunt, as if they are communicating with each other with their sounds.
This group of killer whales not only seems to have a clear division of labor, but also seems to be very skillful, and I saw that they were constantly interspersed and cooperated, driving the group of horsefish and driving them together as much as possible.
Beneath their torsos, schools of fish are becoming more and more concentrated, and even a lot of horsefish have floated on the surface of the sea, attracting a group of seabirds that want to take advantage.
After the group of horsefish gathered, the killer whales actually formed a circle, with their heads facing outwards and tails facing inwards, and then they fanned the fish in the middle with their tails, and many of them flew up directly and then fell into the sea.
Many of the schools of horsefish that fell into the sea have been stunned by the killer whales and floated in the water, and the killer whales immediately went up and began to feast.
And many of the horsefish that had just flown into the air were also taken away by these seabirds who took advantage of the fire to rob them.
Everyone was gathered around the side of the boat to watch the excitement, but at this time, a killer whale swam towards their fishing boat with a horse fish in its mouth.
When they reached the edge of the boat, the killer whales threw the fish into the sea in front of them, and made a "whoosh" cry, as if inviting the two-legged beasts on the boat to eat with them.
This made everyone on the fishing boat very happy, and there was a burst of laughter on the deck.
As the saying goes, it is not rude to come, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly asked Li Xiaoliang and Li Xiaoming to go to the cabin to get a basket of frozen fish, and then he picked one up and threw it to the killer whale that was still on the side of the boat.
The killer whale jumped, grabbed the fish thrown by Li Xiaofeng in one bite, swallowed it, and then let out a humming cry, as if thanking him.
Seeing this, the rest of the crew couldn't help but pick up the frozen fish one by one and threw them at the friendly killer whale.
Sometimes I really have to admire the magic of nature, who would have thought that the ocean is hated by people, and the killer whale that has the least fish edge in the ocean is the best for human beings.
But speaking of which, it seems that humans are not very popular on the planet!
I wonder if this is a sympathy between killer whales, the "oceans", and humans, the "lands"?
Everyone was looking at it happily, but suddenly they found that there were two huge sea beasts in the distance, rushing straight towards the predatory killer whale group.
What kind of sea monster is this, daring to provoke the killer whale, the overlord of the ocean?
As the two big fish swam closer, everyone had to marvel that these two big fish were really two big guys!
Each one is at least a dozen meters long, and the head of this large fish is flattened, the back is arched in an arc, and it also has two huge forewings, which are more than a third of the length of their bodies.
Seeing the long forewings, Li Xiaofeng recognized them, these are two humpback whales.
"Humpback whales!"
"Bigfin whale!"
"Humpback whales!"
The crew of the ship couldn't help but shout excitedly.
In fact, there is no problem with the names of the crew, bigfin whales, humpback whales, these are all fishermen's names for the image of humpback whales.
Fishermen call it the bigfin whale because the humpback whale has two huge forewings, both of which are more than a third the length of their body.
As for the fishermen call it a humpback whale, it is because the humpback whale's back is not as straight as other whales, but arches upwards to form an arc, as if a human is hunchbacked.
Although the humpback whale is not the largest whale in the ocean, it can be considered a giant in the ocean.
Generally, adult humpback whales can reach 13 meters in length in males and 14 meters in females, and can weigh 25-40 tons.
The two adult humpback whales rushed to the predatory killer whale, let out a long call, and then flapped their huge long wings towards the killer whale beside them.
The call of this whale is deep, long and vast, and I have to say that it is still a little nice.
Therefore, humpback whales are also known as "ocean singers", and it is said that the song of the kraken in people's legends is actually the call of humpback whales, which is called whale song.
Studies have found that the humpback whale's song consists of a total of eighteen different sounds. This whale song has a clear rhythm, melody and frustration, light and slow, pleasant, alternating and repeating, very regular, and connected to each other into a beautiful melody.
Each song of a humpback whale usually lasts about 6-30 minutes.
Studies have also found that humpback whales will only sing the same song in the same year, but will change to a new song the next year. And the whale songs of humpback whales in different places are also different.
In addition, it is said that humpback whales are "singers of the sea", but not only because of the above reasons, but also because of the humpback whales, the name of the record is "The Song of the Humpback Whale", and it is said that it has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide, and it is a platinum record.
In addition, the humpback whale's song was recorded on the space exploration vehicle launched by the American Voyager program in 1977, and it is now said to have flown out of the solar system.
Humpback whales have a docile personality and are known in the ocean as good gentlemen, and are also very friendly to humans, but the docile humpback whales have a peculiar hobby, which is to attack killer whales.
A day in the life of a humpback whale is described as "eating, sleeping, and hunting killer whales."
And this hatred of killer whales by humpback whales seems to have been engraved in the DNA.
Not only will killer whales come to support when they prey on humpback whales, but even killer whales will not hesitate to come to support when they are preying on other whales, seals, sea lions, dolphins, schools of fish and other marine creatures, and sometimes humpback whales will even come from more than ten kilometers away!
And after coming, I can do it and never force it, I just go straight to it.
You must know that killer whales are the top predators in the ocean, and they are also known for their high intelligence and are good at teamwork, but adult humpback whales dare to fight them hard, and even most of the time, humpback whales can take advantage.
This is mainly due to the fact that humpback whales have a pair of stout forewings and powerful tail fins.
This pair of long wings and tail fins are usually covered with barnacles, which is like putting a finger tiger on a humpback whale, which is enough for killer whales to stand if they are fanned against them.
So most of this war ended with the retreat of killer whales, so the chivalrous humpback whales even got the nickname "the green man of the ocean".
And every time the killer whales run away with a curse, the humpback whales will make a call in place, as if they are very happy to see that these killer whales can't eat.
As for why killer whales form such an inseparable bond with humpback whales, scientists have found that this is mainly because killer whales like to prey on humpback whale calves.
Seeing the long wings of the humpback whale fanning over, the killer whale hurriedly made a flexible dive to avoid the attack of the humpback whale, and then saw that this water area was completely chaotic.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Killer whales and humpback whales are entangled together, and the calls of killer whales and humpback whales are also mixed together, and they are very happy.
The killer whales and humpback whales were fighting, and at the same time, they spewed out columns of water, which made Li Xiaofeng and his group of melon-eating people happy, and they even wanted to cheer them loudly!
The killer whale group here cooperated with each other, trying to use their effective tricks to hit the humpback whale with their head, but the huge size of the humpback whale was something they could easily bump into.
If you want to bite humpback whales with your teeth, humpback whales have rough skin and thick flesh, and it is difficult for them to bite.
Although the humpback whale here is large, it is not flexible enough, and it is difficult to hit the killer whale.
After some fighting, although there are only two humpback whales, they have the upper hand with their larger bodies and more strength, and they have the upper hand in the thick armor with rough skin and flesh, although the killer whales have sharp teeth and are good at teamwork.
The battle between the sea giants lasted for more than half an hour before finally ending with the retreat of the killer whale group.
As the killer whales retreated, they let out a "huh" call, as if they were cursing, and they really deserved to be the sea.
After seeing the killer whales withdraw, the humpback whales did not chase after them, but stayed where they were and let out a burst of calls, as if they were happy that they had made their old enemies hungry again.
The crew of the ship couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers as they watched the graceful posture of the two huge whales jumping out of the water.
I have to admit that the posture of this whale jumping out of the water and flapping its wings on the surface of the water is really beautiful, otherwise we would not be based on the humpback whale when we see the image of Kunpeng in games or TV.
And it's not just killer whales that are very friendly to humans, humpback whales are also very friendly to humans.
The two humpback whales saw the cheers of a group of two-legged beasts next to them, and they seemed to be more energetic, and they kept jumping out of the water, and then splashed a huge splash.
