When killer whales are hunting, no matter who their opponent is, adult humpback whales will go over to help their opponent. For this reason, humpback whales even earned the name of the green forest king of the sea.
Correspondingly, as long as killer whales encounter juvenile humpback whales, no matter how many humpback whales there are in the group, they will try to destroy them, even at the cost of being beaten to death by adult humpback whales.
If you go into the water now and a fight breaks out between a humpback whale and a killer whale, the person who goes into the water will definitely suffer a miserable fate, whether he is hit by a humpback whale or a killer whale.
According to Xiang Yang's understanding, if an adult killer whale encounters a juvenile humpback whale, the killer whale will never give up until the juvenile humpback whale is killed.
Four huge adult humpback whales swam slowly on the sea. The scene was quite spectacular. Many crew members took out their mobile phones and took pictures of them with flash lights on.
The little humpback whale was very active and swam to the edge of the ice floe, hitting the ice with its big head, and even tried to climb directly onto the ice. The big humpback whale was so scared that it quickly drove it away from the ice.
“Woo—”
Big Head looked towards the ice and let out a very low whale cry.
At this time, the blizzard in the sky finally stopped.
A seabird slightly larger than an adult man's fist shook off the snow on its body, flapped its wings and circled in the low sky.
“Chirp, chirp.”
The seabird made two clear calls in mid-air.
"Chiu—"
As a result, a big guy seemed to have received a signal and flew over from a ship in an instant. It flapped its wings twice and flew into the air, then grabbed the unfortunate seabird with a pair of sharp claws in an instant.
It was the female one of the two Steller's sea eagles that Xiang Yang brought.
After it grabbed the seabird, it fell directly to the top of Xiang Yang's fishing boat's cabin, regardless of the seabird's desperate struggle.
"The hunting ability of this female eagle is much stronger than that of the tiger." Xiang Yang exclaimed.
Fang Youqun, Chen Qingsheng and others on the side nodded in agreement.
The Steller's sea eagle had been on Xiang Yang's boat for a long time. No one had seen the male Steller's sea eagle hunt birds. Even if it wanted to hunt, it would only catch a few sea fish at most.
Moreover, the male Steller's sea eagle did not dare to catch squids because it was once entangled by the squid while trying to catch it and was almost dragged into the sea and drowned.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the male Steller's sea eagle is useless.
This is the law of nature, and the division of labor between male and female eagles is very clear.
Female eagles are responsible for building nests, raising offspring, and sometimes catching prey.
The male eagle has only one mission, which is to patrol the territory and protect the safety of his family.
This is similar to male lions. Under normal circumstances, male lions will not take action. Once they do, it often means that the lion group has reached a critical moment of life and death.
"Chiu—"
After landing on the top of the cabin, the female eagle let out a sonorous and loud call, as if calling the male eagle to come and enjoy the delicious meal.
Along with the low, sonorous and penetrating cry of the female eagle, the whole snowfield seemed to have been blown as a charge, and countless seabirds flapped their wings and circled towards the sky.
The scene was very spectacular, with countless seabirds flying in the sky, blocking out the sun.
"Oh my God, how many seabirds are there? There must be tens of thousands of them," Fang Youqun exclaimed.
Xiang Yang was not surprised. "It snowed too heavily just now, and many seabirds could not survive. This piece of floating ice is the largest in the nearby sea area, and almost all the seabirds nearby landed on this floating ice. Now that the snow has stopped, it is not surprising that there are tens of thousands of seabirds."
Fang Youqun shrank his neck and said, "Will these birds come over and peck me?"
Xiang Yang didn't have such worries. Birds generally don't prey on creatures larger than themselves. Besides, there are so many people in Xiang Yang's group, and they are not vegetarians.
However, Xiang Yang was still very worried. He was afraid that so many seabirds would land on the boat soon.
"Fortunately, our ships are big enough, basically they are large fishing boats of thousand-ton level. Otherwise, it would be really dangerous to encounter so many seabirds." Looking at the seabirds that covered the sky, Xiang Yang said with emotion.
"Don't worry, it won't sink. Even if there are ten times more seabirds, they still can't sink a ship. For this kind of birds, if you send a few people each with a broom, even if there are ten thousand of them, don't think that one will land on the ship." Xu Fang said with a smile.
Xiang Yang was stunned, then he smiled and nodded, "Yes, people are alive. If each of them holds a broom, these seabirds will not dare to land on the boat no matter how many there are."
In fact, birds don’t like snow either. After eating and drinking, they have the habit of resting on nearby boats.
If the number is small, ordinary sailors will not bother to pay attention to those seabirds.
But if there are too many of them, the boat may be sunk. At this time, the crew will need to use bamboo poles or brooms to drive them away manually.
Among so many birds, the most excited ones were the two Steller's sea eagles.
After letting out a loud eagle cry, the male eagle flew into the air like a sharp sword, then quickly swung its claws to attack the seabirds one by one.
The female eagle stood on the cabin like a sculpture. It did not fly into the air like the male eagle to join in the feast. It was not known whether it was to protect the two bird eggs on the top of the cabin.
With so many seabirds, it is impossible that the only carnivorous bird is the Steller's sea eagle.
There are also many birds of prey that take advantage of the opportunity to hunt quickly in the air.
The seabirds that were unfortunately caught in the clutches of the devil fell from mid-air and landed on the ice, making Xiang Yang's eyelids twitch.
At the very least, these fallen seabirds are animals protected by the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Wildlife Species, including some second-level and even first-level protected animals.
Xiang Yang even saw a black and white gull falling from mid-air.
There were too many predators, and the seabirds began to flee in all directions. Soon, the flocks of birds that had covered the sky quickly disappeared in all directions. In the snow, only some ferocious birds of prey flew down from the air. They began to be wary of the opponents around them while slowly enjoying their spoils.
Looking at those vigilant birds of prey, Xiang Yang was not worried about the Steller's sea eagle at all. No matter where they were, the Steller's sea eagle was considered a bird of prey. Even if the Adélie penguin came, it might not be able to defeat the Steller's sea eagle.
However, at this time, Xiang Yang saw a big guy on the ice, ready to move.
It was the fur seal that had been scared away by the humpback whale. At this moment, it might have been attracted by the smell of blood of the dead seabirds. It ran back from somewhere and set its sights on a huge bird of prey.
