Humpback whales are one of the most beautiful and friendly whales on the planet, and although they are not the largest cetaceans in the world, they are also well-deserved behemoths in the ocean, mostly moving in pairs and with a docile temperament.

Ye Yaodong said to them that it was a humpback whale, so he also got off the helm tower and came to the deck.

He only thinks that the current marine environment is so good, even humpback whales can be seen at will, and there is no overkill.

The huge size, swimming next to the fishing boat, is only a little smaller than the fishing boat, and it is more than ten meters long, and most of the body is sunk underwater, if it is far away, he may think that it is a small island that can move.

The whale also kept swimming slowly, just like playing, right next to the fishing boat, keeping it in the same direction.

It has nodulous protrusions on the snout of its head and on both sides of its baleen and a black, small, markinged dorsal fin.

On its bare skin, it also has many barnacles and cranopods attached to it, and it carries many fish with suckers, such as bonito.

On the side of the boat, he could only see a little bit of a bonith under the water, carrying a heavy load, and it seemed extremely flexible, and the debris on its body could not affect its progress.

Father Ye nervously asked him, "What kind of whale did you just say?" You really don't need to hide, you have said you don't need to hide when you see such a big fish several times, these big fish really won't attack people? When the older generation sees such a big fish, they can quickly dodge and hide far away, for fear of being caught up by them. ”

The older generation will only divide whales and sharks and other categories, and if you really want to subdivide the species, you won't, at most you will know some common varieties and some local names.

"Humpback whale, it's okay, it's hard for you to see it so close in the future, so watch it and cherish it."

After saying that, he turned his head and hurried back to the cabin, ignoring the panicked discussions of the other boatmen, he was going to take out the camera in the lockbox.

The boatman on the deck was still there and said, "It's better to get away and be safe?" Who knows if such a big fish will suddenly go berserk. ”

"Yes, this fish is also an animal, such a big one, it is scary to look at, and the whole body looks like a boat, which is a little smaller than our boat."

"Let's hurry up and stay away......"

Ye Yaodong took out his camera, and didn't care that they were talking a lot there, and while the humpback whale hadn't left yet, he quickly clicked and took a few more photos, so as not to expose and have other options.

It was just when he was about to put away the camera that another one appeared next to the humpback whale, which erected one flipper sideways, and when it came out of the water, it also sprayed a column of water into the air, which was several meters high, like a goddess scattering flowers.

When the water column falls, it will also spill in all directions, until it falls on everyone's face, and everyone immediately retreats and covers their ears.

"Squirting again! It's another squirt! ”

"It's really squirting again......"

"This fish has a lot of ......"

"yes, a lot of water, so high......"

"And the sound ......"

When a humpback whale emerges from the water to breathe, it exhales a short, thick, hot gas mixed with water vapor from its nostrils, sweeping the surrounding sea water out of the sea, forming a spectacular column of water and making a loud sound similar to that of a steam engine.

This wave was really captured by him, and when he tested the water last time ago, the whales collectively sprayed the water column because they didn't bring a camera, and they didn't shoot him, which made him regret for a long time.

That kind of scene is hard to come by, and it's rare to see it once in a lifetime, and today this one can be regarded as making up for it a little.

Click, he took several shots in a row, then quickly put the camera into his arms, wrapped it in a cotton jacket, and splashed on it, and after the water splashed away, he also directly picked up the hem of the sweater to wipe it.

Father Ye smashed his mouth, "Such a big fish, do you like to move together?" All you see is a group of people. ”

"I'll have to brag about it again......

"That's right, the time I saw a group of whales spraying water a year ago, I went back and told everyone, everyone was stunned, saying that they had never seen or heard of it."

"I also saw bigger whales today."

"No, the swordfish and swordfish I saw before are single, acting alone."

"I've seen it, let's hurry up and leave, stay away."

Although these two oversized whales seem to be safe and secure, everyone still feels unsafe and still fearful.

"Yes, let's go, more is better than less, safety first."

Father Ye is also particularly in favor, such a big guy is too unstable, and they don't know the habits of this whale, now it looks like it is a peaceful and friendly one, who knows later? Don't take the risk or don't take the risk.

"I'm going to sail the boat, let's stay away from them."

Just as Father Ye turned around to walk towards the cockpit, the two humpback whales intimately rubbed each other's heads against each other, snuggled up to each other for a while, and then separated again.

Ye Yaodong looked full of curiosity, this mammal is also very affectionate, I heard that the IQ of humpback whales is not low, which is equivalent to the IQ of a human 2~5-year-old child.

However, it still can't compare to the IQ of another overlord in the ocean, killer whales, who have heard that their IQ is equivalent to that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.

I heard that this thing is a street runner in the ocean, often "beckoning cats and dogs" in the ocean, and even close to human ships, very naughty and cute.

However, its natural predators are humpback whales.

As long as the humpback whale hears the slightest sound of killer whales, no matter how far away, it will rush over, and then give it a slap, and in its predation, it will also rescue its prey, and drive away the killer whales, so that it starves, and the masses call it the marine police.

Some netizens jokingly said that its daily routine is to eat and sleep and fight killer whales.

Humpback whales have a large number of barnacles attached to their pectoral fins and tails, and they will use these attachments as weapons, so they can't just scrape the barnacles off the humpback whale.

But it doesn't seem like there's any killer whales to see today, it seems like there's only humpback whales.

It's a little regrettable that he has the camera in his hand, and if he does, he will be able to capture the famous scene of humpback whales fanning killer whales, which will appear decades earlier, and may be able to provide some material for future ocean development.

Seeing that his father was about to sail to avoid these two big guys, he didn't object, anyway, he also took a closer look and took pictures.

These two big guys probably won't follow the boat all the time, at most they will follow and play and leave.

Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as the fishing boat accelerated a little bit and changed direction, the two moved quickly.

They swim a swift distance underwater, then suddenly burst out of the water and slowly rise vertically until their flippers reach the surface, at which point their bodies begin to bend backwards like the backward rolls of acrobats.

until the whole body falls backwards into the water.

Ye Yaodong could still see clearly from a distance, after all, it was huge and still very recognizable, which made him pat his thigh, but unfortunately there was no mobile phone, or drone.

Father Ye saw that the two whales were tumbling and swimming away, but they did not change direction at an accelerated pace, but still moved forward according to the original route and worked around.

"Gone? It's good to go. ”

"It's still rare to meet some big guys like this, and I can't catch them anyway, so I have to be scared when I look at them there."

"Didn't Ah Dong say that this thing is friendly to humans? It seems that I just watched it and I took care of my own travel.,Don't care about us.,Occasionally, if you encounter this.,Watch it once or twice.,It's okay.。 ”

"Haha, are you thinking of going back to the village and bragging again?"

"Hehe, there are more strange things on the sea, and if you encounter them occasionally, going back to the village to talk about it is also a topic of conversation, which can also open the eyes of the villagers. They all stay in the village, and they are counting on those of us who have been far away, and usually tell them new things. ”

When the boatmen saw that the fish had swam away, they relaxed and began to brag and talk about the boat.

There were still goods on the deck that had not been picked, and they were all sober when they were talking, and no one went back to the cabin to lie down.

And it's almost lunch, there are still a lot of steamed big pot of seafood in the morning, everyone eats and throws it away, there is nothing to cherish at all, but even then there is half a pot, just add a vegetarian dish at noon.

But when everyone had sorted the rest of the goods on the deck and were ready to come over for lunch, two small island-like things protruded from the sea in front of the fishing boat, and they were still moving.

As the fishing boat moved forward and closed the distance, the "small island" churned and the waves splashed around.

Ye Yaodong held the rice bowl, and the first time he saw it, he pointed ahead with chopsticks, and the rice in his mouth screamed to everyone, "Look at it... Over there... There's a situation over there. ”

"What kind of big fish are hunting there?"

"It looks like, the water splashes all the time......"

"Why do I think it's the two whales I saw earlier?"

Father Ye should also be puzzled, and he also wanted to see what kind of fish it was, anyway, the fishing boat was also heading forward, so he didn't deliberately intervene.

When they got closer, everyone realized that it was really the two humpback whales just now, and they did not go far, but were caught up by them.

At this time, the direction of their ship was also in the direction of the East China Sea, and they had just come out for a night and half a day.

After Ye Yaodong reacted, he immediately ran to the cabin to get the camera, just after the fish ran away, he also returned to the cabin and threw the camera on the bed, I don't know what fish the humpback whale is fighting and hunting, he took the camera in his hand first anyway, and was prepared.

And after he took the camera, he asked people to run to tell his father, telling him not to run, but to keep a certain distance first, not too far, not too close, so as not to be affected.

These ocean overlords are fighting, probably entangled together, patting the tail fin and the fish fin, and gnawing a few more times in their mouths.

Wait a while to see if you can take a picture down, it's a pity, it's black and white, not closer, probably it will be very mushy.

However, the humpback whale in front of me is next to the fishing boat, and the shot is extremely clear, and the behemoth is next to it.

"It looks like a few big fish are fighting!"

"How big is the one who can fight the two whales just now? That shouldn't be much worse, right? ”

"Aren't we a little farther away? Will it hit our boat, the fish is so big, it is a little smaller than the boat, it looks more than ten meters long, not to mention the tail hits the boat, it is on the side, the body smashes on the sea, the boat has to shake. ”

Ye Yaodong was about to speak, when he watched a fish jump up on the sea, and a black, black and white killer whale jumped directly onto the water, and instantly smashed into the water.

"Damn, there are really killer whales, just thought about it, it's just missing a killer whale on Ocean Street, and this is coming?"

He was very excited, holding the camera in his hand and waiting for when he got closer, or the killer whale jumped on the water, and then snapped a picture, maybe he really wanted to take a picture of the famous scene of the humpback whale fanning the killer whale.

I heard that the hunting conflict between humpback whales and killer whales is not accidental, but often occurs, and the "marine police" specializes in "ocean street slippers".

Only 11% of the conflicts were between killer whales hunting humpback whales, and most of the rest were killer whales hunting other animals, and humpback whales would not only go to the killer whale's "crime scene", but also use their calls to call for companions to come and help.

Killer whales usually choose to back off because adult humpback whales are very combative.

It's not that killer whales are completely incapable of fighting humpback whales, large groups of killer whales sometimes attack adult humpback whales, crushing them below the surface.

The reason why the two behemoths are mortal enemies is that killer whales often prey on the calves of humpback whales.

This hatred can lead some humpback whales to have a deep hostility towards killer whales, and adult humpback whales will intervene in the killer whale's hunting activities, and will not let go of it if they encounter it.

That's why there is a joke that humpback whales eat and sleep and fight killer whales.

"What Ocean Street Slipper?"

"Ah Dong knows that fish?"

"That's killer whales, humpback whales fight killer whales, and when two races come together, it's a fight."

"Oh, like this? You know so much, your dad doesn't know as much. ”

"That's right, so it's called the back waves of the Qianjiang River to push the front waves."

"It's the Yangtze River, right?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, "Yangtze River? Is it the Yangtze River, not the Qianjiang River? ”

"What kind of river is Qianjiang?"

"Oh, that's what I remembered, the cultural level is not good, Gai Ming'er needs to read more books and read more newspapers."

"Hehe, if you can write your name, it doesn't matter if you can't write, you can't use it anyway, as long as you can press your fingerprint."

"That's easy to deceiver."

He held the camera and kept preparing, just to see that they had been playing in the sea, splashing white flowers one after another, and he didn't see any completely exposed on the sea, and his hands were sour.

"Ah, schools of fish, schools of fish swim by......"

"Fish ......"

"It's over, it's over... It's a red fish ......."

"The fish are gone? Turn around, you go and tell my dad to turn around, turn around, and the rest of the people go and throw the net with their hands to prepare, and see if they can meet again. ”

He also saw the faint shadow of a red fish under the water, and red fish were not usually very cheap.

This group of fish must have been driven by killer whales to prepare a full meal, but they happened to meet humpback whales who heard the news, and they directly rescued this group of fish.

But whenever a humpback whale hears the sound of a killer whale, no matter how far away, it will rush over and beat it.

So it happened to be met by them on the side.

After all, this big guy can last a month after eating a bite, but the boat is moving in the opposite direction to the fish, so it staggered all of a sudden, and when he took the camera off and looked at the sea, he only saw the tails of the fish.

After Father Ye received the meaning they conveyed, he also hurriedly turned the bow of the boat slowly, slightly increased his speed from the direction behind him, and chased away.

I just don't know if the direction in which the fish swim is the same as the direction in which the bow of his ship is turned, anyway, dead horses are used as live horse doctors, and they all have to work at sea, try your luck.

After Ye Yaodong looked farther and farther away from the two fish fighting, he also gave up taking pictures with his camera, so let's see if he can catch some goods by casting a few nets.

Several boatmen took two hand-tossed nets and looked at the sea where there was no shadow of fish, so they could only try to cast two nets casually to see, now the technology is not so developed, their fishing boats are still very simple, and there is no underwater detector installed.

"Anyway, tell my dad that I'll be working in this area today, and I'll put the net up in an hour to see if I can get more nets."

"Well, let's cast two nets first, and I don't know if I have sunk under the water, or swam somewhere else."

Ye Yaodong didn't report much hope, just hoping that the fishing nets would be dragged up later, and it would be good to order more goods, but he was still standing on the deck, holding a camera in his hand, looking into the distance.

"In stock! In stock! A boatman was collecting his nets, shouting excitedly.

"I'm here to help......"

"I don't seem to have any ...... on my side"

The people on both sides said that they were standing on opposite sides of the boat, casting a net to try their luck.

Ye Yaodong also shifted his attention to the side that shouted that there was goods, "Pull it up and see what's there?" ”

"Hehe, let's also see what good things such a big fish eat, just that size, I don't know how much seafood I have to drop in one bite, give it to us, then we can make more money."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pull it up first......"

"Okay..."

The boatman spat twice in the palm of his hand, then changed his hand and continued to pull the net.

"One net of gold, two nets of silver, three nets of a cornucopia, four nets of copper Luo group, five nets of cockles and snails, six nets of shrimp and crabs, net net ships are not empty~"

With the shouts of the boatmen, a net of red fish emerged from the water.

"Yo he~ red fish, good goods!"

"Hurry up, have you put away that empty net? Keep spreading and see if you can get some more online! ”

"Good good ......"

"Come on, come on, make a little effort, this one is a little heavy, and the water is ......"

Ye Yaodong also looked carefully on the side, it was a horsehead fish, and it was okay, just see how many catties it could be pulled up.

At this moment, a killer whale with a panda color galloped past the sea, with its black dorsal fin standing on the surface.

It's just that, I don't know why, I paused, and I was directly chased by the two humpback whales behind me, and after catching up, I slapped the pectoral fins of the killer whales, almost slapping people stupidly.

Ye Yaodong instantly became energetic again, and after a while, he continued to raise the camera, ready to face the three big guys who were fighting again.

Just as they were moving, the fishing boats were moving.

When the boatmen collected a red cargo of fish and poured it onto the deck, he also happened to catch the leaping killer whale.

When it was about to fall into the water, a humpback whale rushed in front of it, and then jumped up and slapped its head with the fishtail, which really fanned it.

Ye Yaodong was also pleasantly surprised and immediately clicked, and hurriedly snapped it several times.

The two fish happened to be in close contact in mid-air, and finally waited for him to wait for the famous scene of the "Ocean Police" fighting the "Ocean Street Slicker".

The killer whale was fanned and fell directly to the side to the sea, not like the posture of the leap just now, and it looked a little embarrassed to fall.

However, it can also bend and stretch, one enemy cannot be two, and it is quickly dive under the water to slip away when it is beaten.

It's so big that if you want to go, two humpback whales can't keep it.

The two humpback whales saw that the killer whales ran away again, and they also dived to the bottom of the water, anyway, they had nothing else to do except eat and sleep, just to fight killer whales, and if they encountered them, they didn't let go.

As they dive, they show their huge tail fins, which gradually become smaller and smaller until all of their tails disappear into the surface and the sea calms down.

The boatmen were delighted by the receipt of a red celebrity, and they didn't care about the big fish fighting at the two ends, and it was none of their business anyway, and after they had cast a net, they immediately threw a net to the surface of the sea, ready to try again.

At this time, there are 200 catties of seafood scattered on the deck, the number of horsehead fish accounts for the most, and there are dozens of catties of trash fish, large and small, and there are some scattered shrimp.

This casual scattering of a net of luck, but the harvest is good, the second net of the empty net is scattered and then collected, it is not so lucky, only a hundred catties, probably the fish have been scattered, and it is almost gone.

There is no more goods in the third net, only small fish and small shrimp.

However, everyone is quite content, which is equivalent to picking up 300 catties of goods for nothing, and most of them are good.

After Father Ye saw that the two big fish had disappeared, the sea surface also returned to calm, changed direction again, and also ran to the deck.

"Are the two fish really gone? One moment, one moment, the next, I don't know where I'm going. ”

"I should be leaving, didn't you change direction again?"

"It's okay to scatter two nets."

Ye Yaodong also held the camera and said with a smile: "It's okay, these whales not only provide emotional value, but also send some sweetness, and then collect the fishing nets later, see if there are many goods, it should be more than the first two or three nets, after all, killer whales drive away the fish and drive them here." ”

Father Ye was also happy, "That means that the appearance of these whales is also a little beneficial, and it can also make more goods, and the net of goods scattered at night is really unsightly, all of them are miscellaneous fish and cheap goods." ”

"As soon as I came out at night, the water level was deep enough to go to the net, and the circle near the sea was definitely not as far as the East China Sea, and the deeper the water level, the more deep-sea goods the better, even if we couldn't run too far."

"It's okay, as long as there is goods, let's sort out these fish first, I'll go to the cockpit, and the net will be set up in half an hour."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong also took his camera back to the cabin, there shouldn't be much film in it, and he had to buy some film after this trip to the shore, and take a look at the telescope by the way.

He didn't receive it in the suitcase, so he put it on the bed and covered it with a quilt, so as not to receive it in the suitcase, and if there was anything new, it would be too delayed to take the camera.

The boatmen on the deck were still talking there, "Just cast a net casually, there are one or two hundred catties, two hundred catties of goods, there must be at least a few thousand catties under the sea, plus those who escaped, there must be ten thousand catties, how big is the mouth of the fish?" How much should I eat at one time? ”

"Didn't the oversized fish that ran aground in the village last year say that it was a vegetarian? Will this just be a rush to play? ”

"Cut~ Fish is different from fish, just like people are different from people, and it's not that they are too full."

Ye Yaodong also squatted down, "These horsehead fish should also be able to have 200 catties, plus groceries, they can also be sold for forty or fifty yuan." ”

It's okay, it's worth the value of the ordinary semi-net goods they drag.

It's just a matter of luck and a few random nets.

"Good luck, our boat is lucky, Mazu blesses it."

"Let's eat first, after eating, we have to close the net again, wait for the next net to be collected and then clean up together, anyway, the bottom is the same and poured back into the sea."

"Okay, okay."

They moved back and forth on the surface of the sea, circling in circles, constantly turning directions, and had no effect on the Harvest in the slightest, and as usual, they were far away, and they could only see a small dot on the sea.

Probably the Harvest didn't know that they had just met three big fish and were fighting.

Far away, I don't know if there is anything new happening in their place?

He hurried to finish his meal, and then went to the cockpit to replace his father, and let his father go and take a bite first.

Father Ye said happily: "I just connected with my in-laws, and told him that we just met three fish that were almost as big as our boat, and to his surprise, he said that he also encountered a fish half the size of the harvest." ”

"But it's a novelty to say that the fish was there to photograph the turtle, and the turtle was sleeping on the surface of the sea."

"He also described the appearance of the fish, which was the same as the killer whale we had just seen, and I don't know if it was the same one."

Killer whales are really disgusted with dogs, so they invite cats to walk dogs.

"I guess it's not too far away from each other, and it's only a short distance for the fish."

"Well, you just held a camera, did you take several pictures of fish?"

"Yes."

"Waste of money, don't take pictures next time, how expensive is that film, buy a camera to shoot fish? How extravagant, no one shoots, what kind of fish? If you say it, you will be scolded to death. ”

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "I'm happy with my camera, who cares about me?" Isn't that what I bought my camera for? ”

"It's better to shoot people than fish......"

"Don't make any noise, hurry up and eat your meal, you're still rambling here, I didn't spend your money, and you're still distressed."

"Of course I feel sorry for ......"

"Go, go, I'll sail...... Don't be noisy......"

On the fifth day of the first month, the God of Wealth welcomes the door, and the basin is full of gold, silver and jewelry! I wish you all great fortune in the Year of the Dragon! Happy Valentine's Day and happy single dogs!
