Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 65: Humpback Whale

"The giant water ants last night were too scary."

The next day, after Zhang Yaohua and the others met at the small pier, Fang Yuan couldn't help but talk about the scene last night.

As middle-aged people of about 40 years old, they have naturally seen large water ants before, so they won't make a fuss, but they also said that they have not seen such a large battle in many years.

"That's a lot. We haven't met each other for several years." Zhang Yaowei nodded.

He and Ah Hui had just met Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan.

"Let's go!" Shui Wang shouted from the fishing boat.

Everyone boarded the ship one after another.

Zhu Weiguang got on Shui Wang's boat, while Fang Yuan got on Zhang Yaohua's fishing boat, and the two separated.

The fishing boat set off against the rising sun, and Zhu Weiguang and the others could just enjoy the spectacular sunrise.

For Zhang Yaowei and Shui Wang, watching the sunrise and sunset is simply an act of leisure.What catches your eyes?

Ordinary people are the same. They run around for three meals a day, so how can they have the energy to appreciate the scenery around them?

More than an hour later, Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan stood beside the boat and kept taking pictures.

In front of them were two huge humpback whales, hunting for prey with their mouths wide open.

A dozen or so seabirds were eating fish from the humpback whale's mouth.

Birds die for food!This is not true at all.

An unknown number of seabirds are killed in the mouths of humpback whales every year.

"Every time I see a humpback whale hunting, I am shocked." Fang Yuan said.

Zhang Yaowei on the side was speechless. He had finally seen what this brother was complaining about. He originally thought that he was already a talkative person, but compared with this brother, he was still nothing.

Along the way, I never saw him stop. He was so good at chatting.

Although humpback whales are not the largest animals in the world, they are still giants even in the ocean. They are generally about 13 meters long and weigh [-] to [-] tons.

Zhang Yaohua's fishing boat is not as big as theirs.

“Have you ever heard of the three things a humpback whale does every day?”

Zhang Yaowei: "What?"

Zhang Yaohua: "Eat, sleep, and hunt killer whales."

Killer whales are the streetwalkers of the ocean, and they are very mean. Seals, turtles, manta rays, etc. are all the targets of their teasing and play. As long as they pass by, regardless of whether they are offended or not, they will give people a tail rather than knock them out. , that is, shot in the air.

It's the equivalent of a slap to someone passing by.

However, killer whales are actually close to humans, which is a phenomenon that many people cannot understand.

Humpback whales hate such a street kid very much. They only do three things every day: eat, sleep, and hunt killer whales.

Fang Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Hahaha! That's right! But I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't know if it's true or not."

As long as they see killer whales bullying other marine creatures, humpback whales can't stand it and will go up to help, which is quite a bit of a chivalrous act.

Some people may ask, why do humpback whales hunt killer whales?
It is said that killer whales will attack lone humpback whales, and juvenile humpback whales are most vulnerable to attack.But when humpback whales reach adulthood, they have the ability to compete with killer whales to a certain extent.

When killer whales are found chasing other animals, humpback whales believe that the young whales may be in danger, so they will actively interfere with the killer whale group to protect the animals being chased.

So, humpback whales and killer whales are enemies.

"I've seen it once, but do humpback whales really often beat other people's killer whales?" Zhang Yaowei used to go out to sea with the ship owner and saw killer whales being beaten by humpback whales.

"I heard it's become a habit." Fang Yuan said with a smile.Zhang Yaowei looked at his elder brother: "Brother, do you want to get off the net?"

There are schools of fish all around here.

It is estimated that humpback whales herd the fish together to make it easier for them to eat.Sometimes, some fishermen like to follow humpback whales and wait for them to herd the fish into a group.

Zhang Yaohua took a look, shook his head and said: "Forget it! Stay away and don't disturb them."

On the one hand, there is no need to compete with humpback whales for food. After all, those fish schools are the fruits of other people's labor.

You have a golden finger, but are you worried that you can’t find the fish?

On the other hand, these fish are not very valuable. Most of them are small miscellaneous fish and not very valuable.Some trash fish are not easy to sell, and those small fish with big fingers are basically used as feed.

Fang Yuan admired Zhang Yaohua's approach very much.

Fishing also has its own bottom line.

He looked at it from a distance and continued to complain: "There are too many barnacles! I really want to use a brush to clean them away."

Indeed, I saw that the humpback whale was covered with barnacles. If they were all harvested, they would probably weigh hundreds of kilograms.

Almost no marine life likes barnacles, and sea turtles, whales, etc. are all deeply affected by them.Just like we hate mosquitoes, although they are not fatal, they are disgusting.

Humpback whales are better off. After all, they are large and the barnacles sticking to their bodies do not affect their daily lives.If it is really uncomfortable, the humpback whale will jump out of the water and slap it hard on the sea surface, which can knock off some barnacles.

The turtles are in dire straits. There is no way at all. If they are lucky, they can seek help from humans.

Abroad, there are people who clean barnacles from sea creatures such as sea turtles and humpback whales, and then post them online.Many netizens felt relieved after watching it, and it is a must-see series for men.

“There are so many, I can’t finish them in one day!”

If it's a turtle, he can help with a few dunks.The whale is too big to help.

Shui Wang, who was following behind, saw that Brother Hua and the others did not get off the net, so he calmed down.

If in the past, he was not of such high quality, he would just make a little bit, and making money would be more important.

Zhang Yaohua and the others took a detour to avoid the feeding range of the humpback whales.

As the sun gradually became hotter, Fang Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and got into the boat.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Yaowei shouted: "Brother Fang, come out quickly, there is something good."

When Fang Yuan walked out, he saw ridges appearing on the sea surface, swimming toward them.

"Is it a shark?"

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "It's the big blue shark."

"Big Blue Shark? Is it powerful?" Although Fang Yuan is a senior fisherman, he doesn't know much about sharks.

"It's very fierce and can attack people." Zhang Yaowei told him.

In the past, when he was working as a boat boy, he hauled up a blue shark.It seemed that it got into the fishing net to steal food. After being dragged aboard, it refused to give up and took a few bites in front of everyone.

At that time, the shipowner was so angry that they used their ship as a canteen!

Although angry, he finally let it go.

In addition to blue sharks, there are also whale sharks that are not liked by fishermen. They always follow the fishing boats to pick up fish, and even worse, they actively run into the fishing nets to eat.

The fishermen finally got something, but they were eaten by sharks, or even forcibly eaten. It's strange to be happy.

Fang Yuan took a few photos with his mobile phone, but did not do anything else to seek death.
