"Of course they are not for decoration. The killer whale's teeth are curved toward the back of the mouth and intertwined up and down to form a sturdy 'tooth cage'. The tooth cage can effectively bind the prey, making it difficult for all captured prey to escape the tiger's mouth. However, the killer whale's teeth are strong, but not sharp. When faced with captured prey, killer whales generally like to swallow it whole." Xiang Yang said.
It's so horrible.
Faced with such a giant marine beast, all living creatures would be doomed, right
In fact, this is not the case. Even a strong animal like the killer whale has natural enemies.
The domineering killer whale has only one nemesis in the ocean, and that is the humpback whale!
Humpback whales are baleen whales and are very docile most of the time, but if a humpback whale encounters a killer whale, it will immediately become ferocious.
Many researchers have observed such scenes in the ocean many times.
The killer whale was preying on other animals, and just when it was about to succeed, the humpback whale suddenly rushed over in a hurry to rescue the animals being preyed on by the killer whale.
Moreover, humpback whales don’t care whether they can rescue their prey or not. Humpback whales just don’t want killer whales to have an easy time. As long as killer whales are hunting, humpback whales have to get involved. Humpback whales have a grudge against killer whales!
There is a precious marine life video abroad. The video records a group of killer whales preying on a pair of gray whales, a mother and her child. The gray whales are relatively weak in combat and are no match for the killer whales. When the mother and her child are struggling to death, a savior appears. A humpback whale hears the news and rushes over, and immediately starts a desperate fight with the killer whales.
But the humpback whale was outnumbered and could not defeat the killer whale.
It has tried its best, and it turns out that the situation is beyond the humpback whale's ability. Should the humpback whale give up
But that humpback whale didn't.
The humpback whale that couldn't beat the killer whale began to call its friends, and it called over several of its companions.
The five humpback whales worked together to defeat the group of killer whales.
Then the group of killer whales fled, but the humpback whales were still not satisfied and chased after the killer whales desperately, as if the two had an irreconcilable hatred.
Some researchers found this situation very interesting, so they conducted research on it and finally came to a seemingly convincing conclusion.
Killer whales always hunt young humpback whales. Humpback whales are quite vengeful. If they were bullied by killer whales when they were young, they would want to seek revenge on killer whales when they grow up. The grown-up humpback whales are several times larger than killer whales, and several killer whales cannot defeat one humpback whale. Therefore, humpback whales always make trouble for killer whales by relying on their size advantage, just to avenge the bullying they suffered in the past.
But in fact this conclusion is totally untenable.
Some scientists artificially bred a young humpback whale that had never come into contact with killer whales. When the humpback whale grew up, the scientists released it into the sea where killer whales were present.
As a result, the docile humpback whale started fighting with the killer whales after encountering them.
It seemed that the group of porbeagles had started a fight with the killer whales.
There was a rough sea beneath the surface.
There are a total of seven killer whales, six of which are adults, and the last one has passed its juvenile stage and has a certain hunting ability.
There are dozens of porbeagles.
Both sides are extremely ferocious ocean overlords. The porbeagle shark has the advantage in numbers. When facing seven killer whales, it not only did not run away, but launched an extremely ferocious attack. Even if it knew it would die, it would still tear a piece of flesh from the killer whale.
A giant porbeagle shark, nearly three meters in length, suddenly opened its bloody mouth towards the left fin of a killer whale, bit the tiger shark's fin, and tore off a piece of meat from it. The blood immediately dyed a large area of the sea red.
The killer whale felt the pain and immediately opened its bloody mouth to bite the porbeagle shark.
The killer whale bit the porbeagle right in the middle. It was visible to the naked eye that the porbeagle's eyes suddenly bulged forward, and the entire eyeball was instantly filled with bloodshot. Some broken internal organs and blood spurted out of the porbeagle's mouth. It was obviously seriously injured and was obviously not going to survive.
However, the death of the porbeagle did not scare the porbeagle sharks. Instead, the smell of blood aroused the ferocity of the porbeagle sharks, and they rushed towards the killer whales fearlessly.
The killer whales seemed unafraid. One of them opened its mouth wide and swallowed a tiger shark that was more than two meters long in the blink of an eye. Then it swung its tail and whipped another porbeagle shark over with a violent jerk.
The seven killer whales skillfully dispersed and surrounded dozens of porbeagles in a circle. They were preparing to turn all of those porbeagles into food for the funds through clever division of labor and cooperation.
wrong.
Not seven heads.
But six heads.
Xiang Yang saw that the six killer whales formed a strange circle, surrounding the porbeagle sharks, and then the remaining largest killer whale suddenly rushed into the circle, opened its bloody mouth and bit a porbeagle shark.
A single porbeagle shark naturally could not withstand the bite of a killer whale. The porbeagle shark chosen by the killer whale immediately bulged its eyes and turned upside down in the sea water.
The remaining porbeagle sharks immediately rushed towards the killer whale.
In an instant, the killer whale had several wounds on its body and was bleeding all over.
At this time, another killer whale rushed into the encirclement and bit another porbeagle shark.
The killer whale that rushed into the encirclement first filled the empty space in the encirclement, staring at the porbeagle sharks in the encirclement with eager eyes.
Seven killer whales blocked the porbeagles layer by layer, and then took turns to break into the "hunting ground" to slaughter the porbeagles. It seemed that all the porbeagles were about to die here.
At this moment, suddenly a huge sound like a whistle came from the distance.
“Woo—”
Xiang Yang's face changed and he looked in that direction.
It’s Big Head and Two Heads.
I saw the two humpback whales swimming towards this side quickly, flapping their tails wildly. They were no longer as docile and cute as they used to be. They looked like two terrifying monsters, rushing towards this side with red eyes and overwhelming waves.
The seven killer whales immediately turned around and stared in the direction where the two humpback whales were swimming.
“Woo—”
“Woo!”
“Woo woo!!”
The killer whales made several quick and low calls in succession, as if they were urgently discussing countermeasures.
These sounds were extremely terrifying, just like someone pulling a rusty iron door at the beginning of a horror movie. After hearing the cries of the killer whales, many crew members felt their hair stand on end and got goose bumps all over their bodies.
Xiang Yang did not feel any fear. He explained to the crew, "This sound is actually a way for killer whales to hunt. When ordinary fish hear this sound, they often become terrified and lose their behavior, and end up falling into the mouth of killer whales. Many ferocious marine predators will also flee immediately after hearing this sound."
