The most likely possibility is that the male humpback whale was not hurt at all by the head-on collision, but the young killer whale, which had just reached adulthood, had its skin broken and bled to death.
Seeing the male humpback whale rushing towards it, the adult killer whale immediately panicked, turned around and ran away, making rapid and loud whale calls.
After hearing the cry of the little killer whale, the four killer whales with their bellies facing up could no longer pretend to be dead. They flicked their tails and flipped their bodies over from the sea surface. Then they quickly opened their bloody mouths and bit the male humpback whale.
"Oh my god, this killer whale's flipping movement is so smooth!" Fang Youqun exclaimed.
Many crew members echoed this.
The movements of the four killer whales when they turned over were really unscientific.
When the killer whale, such a huge creature, turned over, it turned over instantly like a carp. Its huge body did not even sway at all. It was incredible.
"This is also one of the killer whale's famous skills." Xiang Yang said: "In the ocean, there are creatures that are larger than killer whales, there are also creatures that are more ferocious than killer whales, and there are even more creatures that are more cunning than killer whales. But among so many marine creatures, only killer whales are called the gods of the sea. There is obviously a reason for this."
"What's the reason?" Fang Youqun asked.
Xiang Yang smiled slightly, "The reason why the killer whale can be called the god of the sea is not only because of its huge body, ferocious temperament, and two rows of indestructible fangs, but also because the killer shark has a dorsal fin that is like a "divine rudder."
"A dorsal fin like a divine rudder?" Everyone looked at the killer whales under the boat, all confused.
Fang Youqun even muttered, "Doesn't the tiger shark's dorsal fin look exactly like a shark's dorsal fin?"
Zhang Qicheng also agreed with Fang Youqun's point of view, "Yes, it looks very similar to the dorsal fin of a shark. If someone cut off the fin of a killer whale and said it was a shark fin, it would definitely be indistinguishable from the real thing."
"Don't underestimate the dorsal fin of the killer whale. The fin on the killer whale's back looks similar to that of a shark, both are large, pointed, triangular fins. In fact, the dorsal fin of the killer whale is very different from that of a shark, and the shape of the killer whale's dorsal fin changes as the killer whale grows older." Xiang Yang was speechless when faced with Zhang Qicheng who mistook the killer whale's dorsal fin for a shark fin.
The dorsal fin of a killer whale is generally triangular in shape and stands on the killer whale's back. It can be up to 1.8 meters high, which is taller than the average adult male.
Such a large fin can be used as an offensive weapon.
The most important thing is that the killer whale's fins can perfectly ensure the killer whale's body balance during difficult movements or high-speed swimming.
Because of the fin on its back, the killer whale's body is absolutely balanced whether it is turning over or chasing prey.
Speaking of killer whale fins, there is another very interesting thing.
Some killer whales like to swim to shallow waters and pretend to be stranded, or simply float below the water surface, exposing only their towering dorsal fins above the sea, in order to attract some high-flying seabirds to come down and prey. When the seabirds descend to a certain position, the killer whales hiding under the water will immediately jump out of the water and bite the prey accurately with one bite.
“Woo—”
"Bang!!!"
A huge wave exploded on the sea, and the boiling water was splashed onto the deck. It seemed as if a heavy rain was pouring down above the fishing boat.
The humpback whale and the killer whale, these two terrifying giants that are both overlords of the sea, caused huge waves when they collided for the first time.
A killer whale opened its bloody mouth and bit hard at the pectoral fin of the male humpback whale.
Everyone couldn't help but worry about the male humpback whale.
The killer whale's bloody mouth had two rows of teeth flashing with cold light, and it was obvious that it was not someone to be trifled with. If it bit, it might really tear the humpback whale's pectoral fin off the whale's body.
Xiang Yang also secretly thought that the killer whale really deserved the title of the god of war of the ocean. Facing a humpback whale that was several times larger than it, it dared to launch an attack without fear of death.
You have to know that killer whales are not low-IQ creatures like porbeagle sharks that only attack their prey instinctively. Killer whales are very smart. They attack not out of instinct, but because they are fearless.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang.
Amid the rolling waves, the male humpback whale suddenly accelerated and rammed its big head directly into the orca that was flying towards it.
The two huge monsters collided with each other, making a loud noise.
The killer whale was knocked flying backwards, and after falling to the sea, it kept shaking its big head, obviously it was seriously injured.
The male humpback whale was not feeling well either. The skin on its head cracked and blood was flowing.
But the humpback whale had thick skin and flesh, and didn't take this minor injury seriously at all. It shook its huge head, quickly found the next target, and accelerated towards the killer whale.
Soon, a group of killer whales were beaten and fled in a panic by two humpback whales.
The two humpback whales were so powerful that they scared the group of porbeagles.
When the porbeagle sharks saw that the killer whales had escaped, they hurriedly followed them and fled far away in a panic.
“Woo—”
After defeating the group of killer whales, the two humpback whales did not chase after the group of killer whales, but excitedly circled around Xiang Yang's fishing boat.
The male humpback whale kept raising its head above the sea, making excited whale calls.
Xiang Yang felt so distressed when he saw the blood still flowing out of the male whale's head that he immediately asked someone to go to the cabin to get two dozen bottles of iodine.
"Captain." Seeing Xiang Yang about to jump into the sea with iodine in his hand, Chen Qingsheng quickly reached out to hold Xiang Yang and shook his head, saying, "Captain, you must not go down now. Killer whales are extremely cunning creatures. If you go down to the sea now, what if the killer whales suddenly come back and attack you?"
Xiang Yang smiled.
This situation is possible. Someone once witnessed a bloody scene of more than 20 killer whales preying on a blue whale. At first, due to the huge body of the blue whale, the killer whales had no way to deal with the blue whale. After fighting with the blue whale for a while, the group of killer whales decisively chose to retreat.
The blue whale that drove away the killer whale was very excited, and its mood immediately relaxed. It happily hunted leisurely in the ocean and completely lost its vigilance.
As a result, just as the blue whale opened its mouth wide and was ready to swallow a large amount of prey in one gulp, more than 20 killer whales suddenly pounced on the blue whale from all directions.
The killer whales surrounded the unprepared blue whale in an instant, and then took turns charging at the blue whale like wolves and tigers. They cruelly bit off the blue whale's dorsal fin and tail, causing the blue whale to lose all resistance in a very short time.
Finally, the witnesses watched in amazement as the killer whale tore pieces of bloody flesh from the blue whale, and in less than half an hour, it had gnawed the entire blue whale into a skeleton.
