space fisherman

On the high seas, on a fishing boat.

Ye Yuan was enlightening Ma Hua in a persuasive tone:

"If you stopped this incident, wouldn't it be pitiful for the pilot whales who starved to death because they couldn't find food?"

"I...I..."

Ma Hua wanted to say something in reply, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't say anything.

"Okay, don't watch anymore. This hunting process will probably last for several hours. We are not professional theatergoers."

"How many hours will it take me to go?"

the crew members asked in disbelief.

"What do you think? You really think that the mother of the gray whale is a vegetarian, with such a big body placed there.

Even if we ask those pilot whales to ram them, it will take a while, and it’s not that easy anyway.”

Although Ye Yuan said something tough, he actually felt sorry for the little gray whale in his heart.

He knew the final result. Even if the mother gray whale could survive, the little gray whale would definitely die.

Being spotted by this group of pilot whales sealed its fate.

Just when everyone gave up watching and was about to leave, You Zhiyong suddenly shouted:

"I'm going, boss, look, there's another big guy!"

When everyone heard You Zhiyong's shout, they all picked up the binoculars in their hands and looked over. Ye Yuan was no exception.

The crew all saw that several pilot whales actually flew out of the sea. Of course, it was not the pilot whales themselves who caused this to happen. They did not have this ability.

The reason why they took off was because they were lifted up from the sea by a huge object.

This behemoth is much bigger than the mother gray whale.

"What is this? Is it a whale too?"

Ma Hua stood next to Ye Yuan and asked directly.

Ye Yuan held the telescope and said nothing. After all, the guy was still in the water and far away, so he couldn't see clearly what it was.

As time went on, the huge creature loomed, and Ye Yuan also saw its appearance from some features.

The guy who pushed those pilot whales out of the sea was also a whale.

Its appearance is also very distinctive. Its long pectoral fin is very long, almost half the length of its body.

From a distance, it looks like it has a pair of wings.

Ye Yuan knew what this guy was when he saw these "wings".

After seeing clearly the identity of this guy, Ye Yuan almost blurted out:

"Big-winged whale! Why did this guy show up? That filming boat is in danger."

"Big-fin whale? Why haven't you heard of it? Is it related to shark fins?"

Ma Hua on the side tilted his head and asked.

Since the two people were relatively close, Ye Yuan directly kicked the guy:

"I only know how to eat it in one day. Shark fins are from sharks and whales.

If you haven’t heard of the big-finned whale, then you must have heard of its other name, which is the humpback whale.”

Ma Hua was not angry even after being kicked, and even said in a show off:

"I told you that the humpback whales would be gone soon"

Ye Yuan had the mentality of testing Ma Hua. Watching whale hunting here would take a long time anyway.

It is also a good choice to test these crew members during the gap period.

After all, everyone will depend on the sea for food in the future, and it will be much easier for the crew if they know more about the sea.

"Tell me, let me see how much you know about humpback whales?"

Ma Hua is a bit crazy. When he saw his brothers looking at him, he first took a sip of the mineral water in his hand, and then said:

"Humpback whales are a widely distributed wild animal that can be found in all major oceans.

Its name comes from the Japanese word "Zotou", which means pipa in the Japanese language.

It refers to the long arched shape of the whale's back, which looks like a lute.

The average adult body length of humpback whales is 12.9 meters for males and 13.7 meters for females. The largest recorded female is 18 meters. The weight is 25-30 tons.

Its head is relatively small, flat and flat, its snout is wide, its mouth is large, and there are 20-30 tumor-like protrusions around its mouth.

What's interesting is that there is a hair growing on each protrusion, but the rest of the body is hairless.

Baleen is short and wide, with more than 200 baleen on each side.

The dorsal fin is low, short and small, and the back is not as straight as other whales, but arched upward, forming a graceful curve.

How about it, boss? Did I say it comprehensively enough?"

After Ma Hua finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yuan beside him with satisfaction.

Ye Yuan was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect Ma Hua to know so much:

"Not bad. It seems that I have been reading a lot during this time. Not bad."

"Haha, boss, you are so special. Who else reads books in this day and age? Watch more short videos and you will have everything, hahaha!"

Ma Hua, who was serious before, returned to his funny state.

Just at the stall where a few people were chatting, the "war" over there never stopped.

The humpback whale was driving the pilot whale in the sea, protecting the little gray whale, and blocking most of the pilot whale's attack routes with its own body.

"What is this? A pilot whale hunts a gray whale and a humpback whale comes out to protect it.

Isn’t that little gray whale a species of this humpback whale? Is it true that love can transcend race?”

Pei Fei, who usually doesn't talk much, really chokes up when he speaks.

Ye Yuan was thoughtful at the side. He didn't have Pei Fei's imagination, and he wouldn't really think that this little gray whale was the child of a humpback whale.

But humpback whales suddenly appeared here and came to help gray whales resist these pilot whales. He more or less guessed the reason.

Humpback whales are animals with very good memories.

Even though humpback whales are so big and powerful now, when they were young, like gray whales, they were part of the pilot whale's diet.

However, compared to the gray whale, the humpback whale is much better. After all, its mother is not that good. Generally speaking, the probability of a pilot whale successfully hunting a humpback whale is not as high as that of a gray whale.

Therefore, many young humpback whales have been attacked by pilot whales, which can be regarded as a "shadow of childhood."

They will always remember this "shadow".

When they grow up, if they meet a pilot whale, they will take revenge desperately. This can be regarded as a kind of "revenge".

This also explains why a group of pilot whales were hunting a gray whale mother and her calf, and why this humpback whale rushed out to "help".

Wanting to understand this, Ye Yuan looked more interested.

The humpback whale's pair of exaggerated pectoral fins have four toes and irregular knob-like serrations throughout the entire length, resembling a hacksaw in appearance.

The most important thing is that the pectoral fins of the humpback whale are densely covered with barnacles. If those with trypophobia look at it, they will definitely feel their scalp numb.

It is precisely because of these barnacles that the humpback whale's combat effectiveness is even greater. When the fin is removed, both the strength and the hardness of the barnacles will give the opponent a fatal blow.

Even killer whales, known as the overlords of the ocean, have to weigh themselves when encountering humpback whales, not to mention pilot whales, which are much smaller than killer whales.
