Chapter 407: Hunting

The crew members didn't know where Ye Yuan was standing here to enjoy the scenery. It was just an illusion created by him.

His real purpose is to use his senses to find suitable fish schools for him to attack.

But unfortunately, after so long, no fish caught his eye. Just when he was about to take back his senses and take a rest, that guy Ma Hua ran over happily again.

"Boss, Boss, have you seen the dolphins?"

When Ye Yuan saw this guy coming over again, he wanted to frown and say something to him, but after hearing his words, he looked in the direction of his finger.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. After looking at it, Ye Yuan blurted out:

"Let me go! You idiot, is that a dolphin? Is that a group of pilot whales? What kind of dolphins have you seen with such a big head?"

Ma Hua touched the back of his head sheepishly:

"Haha, aren't dolphins also whales? There are so many types of whales, and it's not surprising that sometimes you can't tell them apart, right?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It can be seen from Ma Huading's words that this guy has done a lot of homework in private. Otherwise, he would not have said this sentence."

If we look at all dolphins according to classification, finless porpoises are actually classified as cetaceans.

According to taxonomy, they are all members of the dolphin family of the toothed whale suborder among whales.

To put it more simply, dolphins are small whales. Whales such as killer whales, false killer whales, and pilot whales that everyone is familiar with all belong to the Delphinidae family. Most people really don’t know that.

After Ye Yuan saw a group of pilot whales, he also became interested. He had no time to continue chatting with Ma Hua here, so he directly took a telescope and leaned on the side of the ship to take a look.

Far in the distance, a group of pilot whales were moving forward. What surprised Ye Yuan most was that a ship was following behind these pilot whales.

There are people on the boat holding cameras and filming.

Pilot whales are timid by nature and have the habit of swimming in groups, and will follow other companions, especially head whales.

Pilot whales are generally about 6 meters long. Their bodies are dark gray, their abdomens are unusually light in color, and their dorsal fins are triangular in shape.

Its snout is very short. Viewed from the side, the forehead is round and bulging, and the boundary between the head and the trunk is extremely unclear, which makes their heads appear very large.

Pilot whales are divided into two categories, namely long-limbed pilot whales and short-limbed pilot whales.

Because their body shapes are similar to dolphins, but their heads are slightly larger than dolphins, it is normal that Ma Hua did not distinguish them clearly just now.

"Boss, what do you think the boat is doing following this group of whales to take pictures?"

Yu Hongbo also came to Ye Yuan's side at this time and asked doubtfully.

Ye Yuan looked through the telescope again and said uncertainly:

"Maybe he was filming a documentary, I can't tell."

Ma Hua next to him curled his lips in disgust:

"What's the point of photographing a group of pilot whales? I'd rather photograph killer whales or great white sharks. It's more exciting."

"That's not necessarily the case. Look over there."

Ye Yuan discovered something interesting in the telescope.

Hearing what Ye Yuan said, the crew members also gathered around, each holding a telescope in their hands and looking in the direction of Ye Yuan's finger.

In the direction of Ye Yuan's finger, two jets of water sprayed out from the sea in the distance.

As the water column spurted out, a huge figure jumped out of the sea. Then it slammed back into the water, causing a splash of more than ten meters high.

"Boss, what is that? Good guy, that head should be a whale, right?"

This time Ma Hua learned the lesson and asked Ye Yuan first.

"Yeah! That's a gray whale. It's a type of baleen whale. It's a very interesting whale."

"Boss, have you seen the little whale behind the gray whale? It's so cute."

"It's not surprising that there are gray whale calves here. This is the breeding ground for gray whales. It's normal to see gray whales raising their babies here."

Gu Chun

"What did you mean just now when you said you don't necessarily mean it?"

Ma Hua asked in confusion.

"What else do you mean, didn't you see this group of pilot whales passing by?

What does this mean? It means they are about to start hunting. Do you think it would be a big gain for the documentary filmmakers to capture this?"

"No way? This pilot whale is not as big as the little gray whale. Is it possible that they want to hunt a gray whale that is much larger than them?"

Ma Hua observed with a telescope for a long time before saying.

"Maybe, even though these pilot whales are not as ferocious as killer whales and are at the top of the marine life chain, they can't stand up to the large number of people, right?

Furthermore, you may not know that these guys only eat the tongues and lips of gray whales, and they really don’t eat much else.”

Ye Yuan said seriously.

"Isn't it? That's too luxurious, these wasteful things."

This time it was You Zhiyong who was surprised.

"If there's anything they can't do, it's because the gray whale's tongue and lips are rich in protein and fat, which are their favorite things to eat."

"Boss, do you think that if this group of pilot whales really wants to attack the mother and her son, will those who filmed the documentary go up and stop them?"

"What do you think?"

Ye Yuan didn't answer the question.

"If I knew how, it would be so cruel to watch those whales eat a little gray whale."

Ma Hua said helpfully.

"When making documentaries, there is a principle of non-interference, don't you know?

They only have eyes and are responsible for recording everything they see and will not interfere with the person being photographed."

Ye Yuan explained.

"You said that if there were really wild beasts eating people when they were filming, wouldn't they go up there?"

Ma Hua's mind is not that big.

Ye Yuan shook his head angrily:

"Then I don't know. Why don't you swim over and ask those people?"

While a few people were still discussing here, the pilot whale really attacked the mother and son of the gray whale.

I saw a group of pilots rushing towards the two gray whales.

The pilot whales have a clear division of labor. Some pilot whales bite the tail and pectoral fins of the little gray whale to prevent it from continuing to swim.

The remaining pilot whales jumped out of the sea one after another and used their bodies to desperately push the little gray whale into the sea.

At this time, the mother gray whale used her huge body to push the gray whale to the surface of the water with all her strength.

At the same time, it also uses its body to protect the Akatsuki Gray Whale from being attacked by more pilot whales.

Because the gray whale mother's body is too large and her speed is slow, she always feels stretched when faced with an attack by a group of pilot whales.

The sea in the distance was in chaos, and that guy Ma Hua actually put down his telescope at this time:

"I can't stand it anymore. It's so cruel. Hey, that's just a child. How can you be so patient? Boss... how about we... sail over there and stop it?"

After Ma Hua said this, he obviously lacked confidence.

Ye Yuan really didn't expect that Ma Hua, who usually looked carefree, actually had a heart of glass.

He walked over and patted the guy's shoulder as if to comfort him.

"Don't think so much. This is the law of nature. How much can you control?"
