Swim in the sea on a sunny day, as if it hadn't ushered in the night for a long time. This was an extremely day that Qiao Qixi couldn't be more familiar with, but when he emerged from the water, he saw the floating ice in the distance, which meant that the cold season had now entered.
The baby killer whales born in the warm season are about to usher in the polar night in Antarctica, and soon there will be darkness enveloped here.
The coldest month in Antarctica is 410, and the cold and warm seasons are just the opposite of those in the Arctic.
Corresponding to the North Pole, when the North Pole enters the polar day in late March, the polar night period in the South Pole begins.
Qiao Qixi determined his location based on what he saw and heard. It was Antarctica. He was an orca that lived in Antarctica. Looking at his mother's fat appearance and small eye spots, it should be an A-type killer whale. he likes.
However, these killer whales do not stay in Antarctica all year round. When Antarctica enters an ice period, Type A killer whales will migrate to live near the equator.
A few killer whales will continue to stay in Antarctica to eat seals and penguins.
Will they be cold
will not.
The fat of the killer whale is very thick, just like wearing an all-purpose thermostatic down jacket. The body temperature remains constant at 36° all year round. This is due to the heat exchange system they have. There is no place for heat dissipation on the smooth body, just like a Laptops without cpu cooling function are hot.
However, when mating, killer whales still like to choose summer, after all, a certain fragile part does not wear down jackets, or temperate oceans are more suitable for intimate relationships.
Although killer whales can mate throughout the year, they are modest gentlemen. Unlike the promiscuous bottlenose dolphins, killer whales are very conservative and self-disciplined in this respect and do not get close to other killer whales at will.
It is not wrong to say that they are conservative. To this day, most killer whales still experience arranged marriages. When they reach mating age, the older female in the group decides which group to marry.
I don't know if the male killer whales have no right to decide, or if they don't have the knowledge in this area, they are arranged clearly.
Parents let male killer whales go to which community or family to contact female killer whales.
If the female killer whale of the other party is not interested, they will come back in despair, and the low mood lasts for a period of time, just like a human being hit by the opposite sex.
Because of this social relationship, many humans believe that male killer whales are a group of Mabao males who cannot live independently without their families and communities.
In fact, this is a kind of prejudice. In terms of power, male killer whales can easily defeat female killer whales. Female killer whales of the same species are always one size smaller than male killer whales, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared.
Even if male killer whales leave the family, they can form a team with other male killer whales and run wild in the ocean.
Compared to encountering a group of killer whales composed of family members, other animals in the ocean are more afraid of encountering a group of killer whales full of male killer whales.
If the flat-headed brother on the grassland can create the ten badger, then 10 male killer whales can overturn the entire Pacific Ocean.
This is not to say that male killer whales fighting alone have no power. There are many records of killer whales killing large marine animals in human records.
This type of record mostly occurs near Australia. There is no reason. This is a regional phenomenon. Australian killer whales are relatively reckless, so it's not a problem to "kill" blue whales alone.
Almost every adult whale living in the Australian waters has traces of killer whale bites on its body. Whales that have not been chased by killer whales dare not say that they have come out.
Qiao Qixi was fortunate that he was not born in Australia. He was quite reluctant to hunt baby whales. When he became a whale, he felt that all whales were of his own kind.
Killer whales belong to the family of cetacean dolphins, subdivided, they are a kind of dolphins, but they are indeed whales, and they don't want to kill whales that also have rich feelings and high intelligence.
Anyway, the killer whale is not incapable of eating other foods in the ocean. The big fish tastes very delicious. Unfortunately, he is still small now, and his stomach is weak and unable to eat.
Most of the time, he still eats milk, and the mother's milk can ensure sufficient nutrition to raise him.
One month after the baby killer whale was born, the small family still maintained a very high and happy mood, playing with the baby killer whale in the ocean every day.
In addition to hunting, the life of killer whales is very free and free, there is really nothing to be busy.
They will maintain a very slow speed, float slowly in the calm sea, and take a breath from time to time.
Before the baby killer whale, the family of four floating like this was unavoidably lonely and deserted. With the baby killer whale, this small family is complete and happy.
Every killer whale likes to interact with baby killer whales and play with baby killer whales. They are all very cute, babble, turn their belly up, and let the baby killer whale play on their belly.
Sometimes a family of five forgets to eat when they are playing, and the eyes of the grapes are so hungry that they go hunting.
Killer whales are very hungry, even if they don't eat for half a month, they are fine. But under normal circumstances, killer whales don't torture themselves like this. There are fish everywhere in the ocean.
Since the birth of the baby killer whale, this little family has rarely pursued the baby whale. It seems that they also know that the safety of the baby killer whale is the first and the second place to eat.
It seems that the death of Ada's first baby killer whale has caused a psychological shadow on the four killer whales, causing them to be very cautious now and cherish the lost baby.
The baby whales in the nearby waters entrusted Qiao Qixi's blessing, and escaped a catastrophe, but the targets of the persecution became all kinds of big fish.
Qiao Qixi stayed on his mother's back and witnessed a big fish being slapped. Wuhu, when the big fish was thrown out of the water, his eyes were almost lifted and he was so high!
When this fish fell in the water, it was almost dead, and the killer whale waiting nearby opened its mouth and wailed.
The fat but flexible figure turned a corner in the sea and uttered a happy cry: Thank you mother.
Sometimes Qiao Qixi couldn't tell whether they were really eating or playing with food
Probably have both, eat it after playing it
In this way, killer whales are really good at pleasing themselves. They consciously seek out all kinds of happiness.
Good or bad, but as the little baby of their family, Qiao Qixi can't give birth to any thoughts of accusations at all.
Recently, the food for my relatives is yellowfin tuna. Yes, it is the kind of Antarctic yellowfin tuna that is expensive in the market.
When he was a human, he was a bun, and he hadn't eaten anything, because he was poor and couldn't afford it. 996 was unworthy.
Playing with the fat tigers, oh no, watching the fat tigers playing with eager eyes, more than a month has passed, and Antarctica is about to enter the freezing period.
Their family will leave here to live in the waters near the equator.
The speed of migration has finally accelerated a little bit, but it is still playing on the road, and sometimes joining similar communities.
The huge community of the same kind will gladly accept this small family that joins the collective.
He even helps take care of baby killer whales, which can be said to be very friendly.
The first time I was teased by a strange, non-blood and non-relative killer whale, Qiao Qixi’s face was blushing, this big fat tiger is so handsome, he screamed at me, he blinked at me, and he turned his belly at me !
"Hey—" Qiao Qixi greeted each other in his own way. At present, he is finally groping to make a nice voice, which is unique to him.
On the way of migration, Qiao Qixi also saw other kinds of killer whales. A large group of killer whales rushed past him. The figure of the other party was not as fat as Type A, but slender, handsome and shabby, ah.
Before in Antarctica, their family lived in a quiet and remote place, probably to protect his safety.
Although killer whales don't say that they are divided into territories, everyone is a savvy killer whale, and they wouldn't know that there are killer whale families who have taken it and got caught in the past.
So everyone kept a proper distance, and the same kind used ultrasound occasionally to communicate.
Of course, only killer whales of the same kind can communicate, and there is no communication between killer whales of different types.
According to human observations, the resident whale group speaks the most, and they have to say a lot of words a day. Individual killer whales also whisper to each other. They send out relatively weak messages and seem to be unwilling to be heard by other members of the community.
Most of the whispers are between males, and they don't know what major things they are plotting.
Maybe it's just a female killer whale in your community
Ocean whales and passing whales talk less, they belong to the type that silently do big things.
Qiao Qixi can hear a lot of ultrasound every day, some simple ones he understands, such as greetings, calling for companions, evacuation and gathering.
The various passwords for group hunting are rather obscure, so he can't understand it, maybe only when he participates in hunting.
There are also insignificant gossips, such as a chattering killer whale. Qiao Qixi hears this old man talking to himself every day to record his life.
The translation in Chinese is probably: Ben Pang Da came to a certain place, Ben Pang Da met so and so, Ben Pang Da ate today, Ben Pang Da was involved in hunting certain fish in a certain place, Ben Pang Da was in trouble. It's broken!
Ah, the style of painting is a bit familiar, just like a human being who has done a bit of a fart and has to send it to the circle of friends.
But it's cute.
There are also silent killer whales who only make a sound occasionally, which is equivalent to a human bubbling.
Qiao Qixi’s mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncle were all chattering, but the communication between them was very daily. 1/3 of the voices were made by the little killer whale. The analysis had no real meaning, but just expressed concern for him.
If you get a response from the baby, the fat tigers will be very happy.
After two months of birth, the baby killer whale's body color is already black and white, the figure is round like a drop of water, he is fat and cute, his head is round, the muzzle is smooth and smooth, and his mouth is open to reveal his little white teeth.
He grows teeth about a month after he was born, but this one needs to be protected, because killer whale teeth are the same as humans. They will not change their teeth when they are adults, and the wear is irreversible.
Antarctic killer whales with a sense of tooth protection will try to avoid biting hard things. At this time, I have to mention the Australian killer whales. They are fireworks of different colors.
The older Australian killer whales all have rotten teeth because they really like fighting. Their creed: As long as my teeth are not lost, I will fight to the end!
The man in the little suit lying on his mother's pectoral fins, blinking his little grape eyes, peeping at a group of killer whales swimming in the distance.
Is there Odis in it
The entire ocean is so big, it shouldn't be easy to find it, but it doesn't matter, the killer whale has such a long life span, and he has decades to find it.
The most urgent task is to grow up quickly.
Leaving the Antarctic waters, the weather on the sea becomes unstable. Sometimes it rains when it rains, or thunder when it rains.
Dark clouds were in the sky, huge lightning split from the middle, followed by rumbling thunder.
Most fish hide in the deep sea and no longer stay on the rough sea.
Mammals living in the ocean cannot stay in the deep ocean forever, so they still swim forward against the sea.
Ah, what a big thunder, what a big rain.
This kind of weather is so scary, the force of the surge, turning the body of the little killer whale up and down, can't swim steadily.
The adult killer whales of their family surrounded him nervously so as not to be taken away by the waves.
When her mother lifted herself out of the sea to breathe, Qiao Qixi wasn't afraid, what should I say, the big rain hit her head, crackling.
"..."
Alexander, be strong.
After taking a few deep breaths, the little killer whale, bullied by the raindrops, quickly dived into the sea and hid under his mother's belly.
He has practiced holding his breath, and it must be better than the average little killer whale, but his relatives are worried about him and always drag him to the top. What Qiao Qixi didn't know was that it was not safe to pass by the island in thunder and rain.
Where there are hidden reefs, there are whirlpools, undercurrents, as the so-called torrents and undercurrents, you may be caught in the whirlpool inadvertently.
Unlucky guys with a size like him will be played after being rolled in, so the elders still feel that it is safer to put the baby killer whale on the sea.
It doesn't matter if you lose it, so many of the same kind around will send their baby back.
Fat tigers are not afraid, but Qiao Qixi was very afraid. When he lost it for the first time, he cried.
The heavy rain and heavy waves obstructed the sight of the killer whales. They no longer rely on the visual judgment of the position, but rely on the echolocation system.
When Qiao Qixi was helpless like duckweed, a big male killer whale lifted him up and sent him to his mother.
During this period, there was no communication between the two sides, and the male killer whale followed Ada's signal to find a baby and accurately found the location.
After the rendezvous, the male killer whale who Mutely helped did not leave. He accompanied the small family on the periphery and spent the whole night of wind and rain.
Was it because he took a fancy to the female killer whale in the small family
No, this killer whale simply wants to help take care of the children, with a very, very simple purpose.
There was a night after leaving the polar circle, but this kind of night was a little too exciting, and Qiao Qixi, who returned to his mother's arms, poked and sighed inwardly.
By the way, cast an inquiring look at the killer whale brother who sent him back. Could this be Odis
Slowly, Qiao Qixi observed that the other party was a very mature adult, at least 20 years old, so the possibility of Otis was very low.
Hey, but it’s also good to meet new friends.
Thank you, the big fat tiger guy who is willing to help the whale, looking at the straight dorsal fin of the other person, he should be a handsome guy.
The next morning, the wind and rain stopped, and the weather on the sea improved again. The wind and waves looked calm, without the surging surging of last night at all.
The handsome killer whale who escorted the cubs quietly left. Fortunately, Qiao Qixi remembered the voice of the other party, and next time the other party spoke, he would recognize him.
It is estimated that the other party has also remembered his voice. After all, he is so friendly to him. Maybe he can summon the other party by calling. Of course, he will not try casually unless necessary.
The blue sea is sunny, the sun is comfortable, and the sea is warmed by the hot sun.
The human fishing boat, who was frightened and frightened all night, resumed normal work today.
The killer whale ahead came back with a message that a large fishing boat was fishing in front of it.
The little killer whale learned a new quantifier from this information. It is very big, but how big is it
Soon Qiao Qixi knew how big the fishing boat was. In terms of the size of the fishing boat, the size was indeed very impressive, and they were fishing.
Of course, the flexible and smart killer whales will not be caught in the net.
When humans saw a group of killer whales coming on the sea, they knew they were going to bleed heavily today.
The ocean hooligans who hit the autumn breeze are late, but arrive.
This group of black and white fat people ate the big fish to their fill, but some were unwilling to leave. Instead, they stuck their heads out of the water and used big grape eyes to peep at the humans working on the side of the boat.
"Eh-" The killer whale teases humans every day.
Under his persistent efforts, a fish on the boat threw at him.
The killer whales perfectly caught the food they could sell by selling their cute food, and then they had to migrate, so after playing with humans for a while, the killer whales left.
From then on, I swim all the way to the equator and continue to live in the temperate waters.
For the little killer whales that are full of freshness everywhere, they soon discovered that the sea here is not as clean as the Antarctic, with a lot of oil and marine debris.
There are also more large ships, and one can be seen every three to five.
Alexander doesn't like living here, but his relatives seem to be accustomed to this migratory route. Although they would dislike the unclean water, they did not leave the familiar seas that have been entrenched for generations by their ancestors.
Fortunately, in this season, little killer whales are generally not born. They will return to the Antarctic next summer to engage in mating and production activities.
When Qiao Qixi grows up, he likes to swim to explore the waters far away from the mainland, or go to some islands where there are no traces of humans.
At first, his relatives would always obstruct him and try to drive him back to a familiar place, but gradually became helpless and could only wander around with the little killer whale.
The seldom-traveled island is Qiao Qixi’s favorite place to go. There are clear waters, beautiful scenery, colorful fish and scenery, but there is also the risk of stranding, so you still need to pay more attention.
While strolling in the ocean, Qiao Qixi saw many marine animals, most of which were harmless and would not pose a threat to him.
There are a small number of harmful ones, such as great white sharks. Of course, great white sharks will drive away when they see killer whales, otherwise they will be beaten by a group of killer whales, and he will not have good fruit to eat.
Therefore, even the young orcas can walk sideways, because no fool will provoke a group of cub guardians to taste the taste of the orcas.
If a great white shark kills a juvenile killer whale, then it's over, something serious happens, and the whole group of great white sharks will be hunted down by the killer whale, and there will be no peace for at least three generations.
For killer whales without natural enemies, the only remaining threat is humans.
There are still humans who are catching killer whales, such as some small coastal countries that are underdeveloped. They rely on whaling to obtain resources and cannot develop empathy for killer whales.
Qiao Qixi knows that living in the Sea of Japan is not worth living, but he is not in the Sea of Japan now, so he can play freely.
It stands to reason that killer whales can travel everywhere in the four oceans as long as they want to, but they are all conservative and have their own habit of entrenched in sea areas.
This has something to do with their heritage. It seems that the killer whales have been accustomed to a life pattern since they were young, and they rarely renounce the traditions and go to live another life.
But there are also individual killer whales with unique thinking that will make shocking moves.
A few years later, in the Atlantic Ocean, there were also traces of killer whales here. They are a more mysterious species of killer whales that are not well known.
They are Atlantic Type 1 and Atlantic Type 2. For them, humans have much less information than passenger whales and Antarctic Type A, so they are very mysterious and low-key, and they are full of inquisitive desires.
Among them, the Atlantic Type 2 is the largest of all the species of killer whales. It is a bit larger than the Antarctic Type A. The appearance is not much different between the two. It is also black and white. It is easy to follow the Antarctic regardless of life habits. Type a confusion.
The killer whales living in the Atlantic rely on fish as their staple food and live a relatively stable social life.
But recently, a human photographer photographed a 6-year-old Atlantic Type 2 killer whale, who left the group life alone and became a stray whale.
It's shocking and incomprehensible here.
But it's not that there are no male killer whales leaving the group, usually at least after they reach adulthood.
This maverick Atlantic Type 2 killer whale seems to be very suitable for a single life. He seems to be able to do well in the ocean. Whether it is hunting or playing by himself, he has shown a stable and tough that is different from his age.
It seems that he is born with the ability to fight against everything. You must know that the normal 6-year-old killer whale is still learning how to survive by his mother, but this 6-year-old killer whale has been alone and travels around the world alone.
Such a powerful sub-adult killer whale, people gave him a cool name, called Otis, which means sharp.
Otis, the killer whale, who is very sensitive to human gaze, but dismisses him, has been observed by humans from time to time.
This little cool guy who loves freedom only traveled from the Atlantic to the East Pacific. This is the land of passing whales, which is full of strangeness to him.
Even full of danger.
Passer whales are a kind of animal-eating killer whales. They like to hunt marine mammals, seals, sea lions, and their own close relatives, harbor porpoises, and even their main dishes. They eat a lot.
When the number of members is huge, various types of whales can also be eaten well. In the eyes of humans, the passing whale is a completely new species different from other killer whales, and it is very cold.
Compared with other talkative talkers, the passing whales are very quiet and communicate with their companions very little. Even when hunting, they don't even use sonar signals because they are smart and know that other mammals also use echolocation.
In order to hunt each other, the passing whale gave up using this skill, what a clever and cold existence this is.
Of course, the killing of killer whales by passerby whales has not happened yet, and they are at best indifferent to other kinds of killer whales.
The general group of passing whales is also led by females, and most of them are direct relatives of this female. They will not easily accept other killer whales into the group.
Therefore, a special group exists in this sea area. They have no family members, so they combine to form a whole new group.
Sometimes there are males and females, and sometimes they are all males.
Otis, from the Atlantic, joined a group of passing whales full of male killer whales, and became a passing whale with a bad reputation, a veritable tyrant of whales.
This discovery is very shocking, it is difficult to understand why he did this, is it for excitement
The male killer whales traveling with each other will wander around. In the eyes of other marine animals, they are all evil and are very spurned.
Later, this Atlantic Type 2 killer whale almost gave up the habit of its own species, as if it were a natural passing whale, he adapted to wandering life in that way.
The author has something to say: Odis: Because I eat seals
