"Oh my god, these sharks are actually using our boat to tickle themselves." Fang Youqun said angrily.
Xiang Yang found Fang Youqun's expression somewhat amusing. "Can you stop a shark from rubbing against you? How about I ask Master Xu to stop the boat and you go down and drive away the sharks?"
Fang Youqun's scalp suddenly numbed, "Brother Yang, aren't you harming me?"
Xiang Yang asked Master Xu to slow down the speed of the boat. It would not be a big deal if an ordinary sea fish was caught in the propeller, but it would be unacceptable if a shark was caught in the propeller.
Xiang Yang was not afraid that the sharks would damage the propeller, but some sharks are protected animals and their numbers are extremely rare, so Xiang Yang wanted to protect them.
Well, I'm not really afraid that the shark will damage the propeller.
"It's so scary." After the ocean-going fishing boat slowed down, a giant shark more than two meters long suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth full of fishy smell, and seemed to want to jump onto the deck and bite a crew member. Many crew members standing on the side of the ship were so scared that they turned pale and quickly retreated.
Even the local friends who were angry before have now retreated more than one meter inside the ship, holding their hearts with one hand and looking frightened. Xiang Yang was both angry and amused, "Isn't it just a group of sharks? You are standing on the deck, can you be dragged into the sea by sharks?"
"You talk lightly, but this is a shark! Very ferocious." Zhang Qicheng, who was also frightened, retorted.
Xiang Yang looked into the water and nodded, "These are porbeagle sharks, also known as Atlantic mackerel sharks. They are large ocean-going sharks of the family Carcharhinidae. They are widely distributed in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Antarctic waters. They mainly feed on bony fish such as mackerel, herring, sailfish and knife fish. Although they are not as notorious as great white sharks, they are equally notorious because they sometimes make fatal attacks on swimmers, divers, surfers and even small boats without provocation."
"But it poses no threat to distant-water fishing vessels. First, its jumping power is not enough to jump to the height of the deck, and second, we are protected by the side of the ship."
"Rag shark? It's the infamous rat shark?" Chen Qingsheng said in surprise.
The porbeagle is a heavy and thick shark with a round snout, a large caudal fin, and five gill slits just in front of the pectoral fins. It is distributed in tropical and temperate zones of all oceans, generally living in open ocean areas, and often entering inland waters. Some even venture to swim in waters about 6 meters deep. Shore anglers have caught porbeagles weighing more than 45 kilograms. It is definitely a shark that makes people change color when talking about it.
"The most important thing is that these ferocious creatures actually live in groups. They probably don't have any natural enemies on this planet." Fang Youqun said as he looked at a giant porbeagle shark that was nearly three meters long.
"That's not necessarily true..."
“Bang!”
Before Xiang Yang could finish his words, a loud sound of water breaking was suddenly heard on the sea.
A mysterious fish with a black back and a white belly suddenly jumped out of the water and bit a nearly two-meter-long porbeagle shark.
Fang Youqun was so shocked that he took a few steps back, then sat down on the deck, looking terrified and asking, "What, what, what kind of monster is that?"
Xiang Yang was also surprised, "It looks like a killer whale."
Someone immediately asked Xiang Yang, "Is a killer whale also a whale? Aren't whales very docile? Why was that one so ferocious just now? It was simply, simply a vicious monster."
"The word 'ferocious' is a good word. Killer whales are indeed ferocious. They are different from most other docile whales. They are ferocious and are the real overlords of the ocean."
Xiang Yang called on everyone to stay away from the side of the ship and gather in the middle of the deck or in the cabin.
Killer whales are large toothed whales that are widely distributed in oceans around the world. They can be found in high latitudes and near the equator. Xiang Yang didn't expect to encounter one today. This is really not good luck.
The crew members who were gathered in the middle of the deck by Xiang Yang were still confused, "Captain, why do we have to hide in the middle of the deck? Do killer whales bite people?"
Xiang Yang shook his head, "Killer whales don't bite people."
"Killer whales only eat humans."
Killer whales are extremely ferocious, brutal and greedy. Any creature is on their diet. They will not refuse any prey, whether it is fish, seabirds, squid, dolphins, right whales, fin whales, even giant squids and blue whales are on their diet.
Someone once found 13 dolphins and several seals in the stomach of a killer whale. This shows how big the appetite of the killer whale is and how strong its fighting power is. It is no exaggeration to call it the god of war of the ocean.
"Brother Yang, aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Someone said in disbelief, "I admit that this killer whale is very capable. It can even drag a shark under the water in one bite. Now the shark is probably in danger. But you said that killer whales can prey on whales? I'm the first one who doesn't believe it."
"Don't be superstitious. It's true that killer whales can prey on whales." Xiang Yang said seriously, "Killer whales like to eat the tongues of whales. Killer whales often attack whales when a giant whale opens its mouth to suck food. Killer whales will bite off the whale's tongue in one bite, causing the whale to bleed to death."
Some people still don’t believe it, “Is it so mysterious?”
Xia Pengjie defended Xiang Yang, saying, "What the captain said is true. Scientists exploring the Arctic Circle often see whale carcasses with their tongues bitten off on the sea. Those were all done by killer whales."
Soon, several crew members who graduated from the Ocean University nodded in confirmation.
One person said it might be fake.
If a group of people say so, then it becomes more credible.
The rest of the people gasped. What did they encounter this time when they went out to sea
They actually encountered the natural enemy of the blue whale, which is said to be the largest creature on the planet!
"It's worthy of being a killer whale. All kinds of marine animals fear it like a tiger and try to avoid it. It deserves the word tiger." Zhang Qicheng said with a smile.
He looked at the sea surface carefully for a few more times, and suddenly wondered, "That's not right, Xiang Yang. I just saw the killer whale bite a porbeagle and drag it into the sea. Why is there no blood on the sea surface? Could it be that the porbeagle was able to escape after being dragged into the water?"
"Escape? Why run? There is a 90% chance that you will be swallowed. Killer whales are not like other whales. They have big mouths and small throats. The killer whale's throat is not smaller than its mouth. It can even swallow an adult sea lion in one bite." Xiang Yang said.
Zhang Qicheng didn't believe it and said, "I know a lot about killer whales. Killer whales use those two rows of terrifying teeth in their mouths as a weapon for hunting. Each of their teeth is more than ten centimeters long. Are they just for show?"
