Humpback whales are one of the most beautiful and friendly whales on the planet. Although they are not the largest whales in the world, they are still undoubtedly the giants in the ocean. They mostly move in pairs and have a docile temperament.

After Ye Yaodong told them that it was a humpback whale, he also got off the helm and came to the deck.

He only thinks that the current ocean environment is so good that even humpback whales can be seen at will without being overly hunted.

That huge body was only a little smaller than the fishing boat swimming next to it. It was more than ten meters long by visual inspection. Most of its body was submerged underwater. If it were far away, he might have thought it was a small moving thing.

island.

This whale also kept swimming slowly, just like playing, right next to the fishing boat, keeping moving in the same direction.

There are tumor-like protrusions on the snout end of its head and on both sides of its baleen, and its dorsal fin is black, small, and spotted.

On its exposed skin, there are also many barnacles, myopods and other cirripedes attached, and it also carries many fish with suckers, such as the scorpion fish.

On the side of the ship, he could only see a little figure of anchovy under the water. It was moving forward with a heavy load, and it appeared to be extremely flexible. The debris on its body did not affect its forward movement.

Father Ye asked him nervously: "What kind of whale did you just say this is? You really don't need to hide. You said you don't need to hide when you see such a big fish several times. These big fish really don't attack people? The older generation sees

When you see such a big fish, you can hide as fast as you can, and hide far away, for fear of being caught up by them."

The older generation can only classify whales, sharks and other major categories. If they really want to subdivide species, they can't. At most, they know some common species and some dialect names.

"Humpback whale, it's okay. It will be difficult for you to see it so close in the future. Just watch it and cherish it."

After saying that, he turned around and hurried back to the cabin, ignoring the panicked discussions of other boatmen. He was going to take out the camera from the lockbox.

The boatman on the deck was still there and said: "It's better to stay away quickly and be safer? Who knows whether such a big fish will suddenly go crazy."

"Yes, this fish is also an animal. It is so big and scary to look at. The whole body looks like a boat, which is a little smaller than our boat."

"It's better to sail quickly and stay away..."

Ye Yaodong took out his camera and didn't care where they were talking. Before the humpback whale left, he quickly took a few pictures and a few more to avoid exposing the others.

select.

Just when he was about to put away the camera, another humpback whale appeared next to it. It turned sideways and raised one of its flippers. When it emerged from the water, it also sprayed a water column in the air. The water column was as high as

It's several meters long, like a goddess scattering flowers.

When the water column fell, it would scatter in all directions and fall on everyone's faces. Everyone immediately retreated and covered their ears.

"It's squirting again! It's squirting again!"

"Really squirted again..."

"This fish has a lot of water..."

"Yeah, there's a lot of water, it's so high..."

"There are still sounds..."

When a humpback whale comes out of the water to breathe, it will emit a short, thick and hot gas mixed with oil and water vapor from its nostrils, which will sweep the surrounding seawater out of the sea, forming a spectacular water column.

At the same time, it makes a loud sound similar to that of a steam engine.

This wave was actually captured by him. The last time he tested the water, the group of whales sprayed water jets collectively because he didn't bring a camera, which made him regret it for a long time.

That kind of scene is rare and rare to see once in a lifetime. Today's scene can be regarded as making up for it a little bit.

Click, click, click. He took several shots in a row, then quickly put the camera into his arms and wrapped it in a cotton jacket. When water splashed on it, he waited for the water splash to disperse, then directly lifted up the hem of the sweater to wipe it off.

Father Ye smacked his lips and said, "With such a big fish, do all kinds of fish like to move together? What I see is that they are all in groups."

"Now I can brag again when I go back..."

"Yes, I saw a group of whales spouting water that time a year ago. When I went back and told everyone, everyone was shocked. They said they had never seen or heard of it."

"I also saw a bigger whale today."

"No, the swordfish and swordfish I saw before were single, acting alone."

"After seeing this, we'd better sail away quickly and stay away."

Although these two very large whales seemed to be safe and sound, everyone still felt unsafe and still feared them.

"Yes, let's go. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Safety first."

Father Ye also particularly agreed. Such a big guy is too unstable, and they don't understand the habits of this whale. Now it seems that they are moving forward peacefully and friendly. Who knows if it will be later? Can they not take risks or not take risks?

"I'll go sail the boat and let's stay away from them."

Just when Ye's father turned around and was about to walk to the cockpit, the two humpback whales rubbed each other's heads intimately, cuddled up to each other for a while, and then separated again.

Ye Yaodong looked at it with curiosity on his face. This mammal is quite affectionate. I heard that humpback whales have a high IQ, which is equivalent to the IQ of a 2- to 5-year-old human child.

However, it is still not comparable to the IQ of another overlord in the ocean, the killer whale. It is said that the killer whale has an IQ equivalent to that of a fifteen or sixteen year old child.

It is said that this thing is a street kid in the ocean. It often "plays with cats and dogs" in the ocean, and even gets close to human ships. It is very naughty and cute.

However, its natural enemy is the humpback whale.

As long as the humpback whale hears the slightest sound of the killer whale, it will rush over no matter how far away it is, and then give it a slap in the face. While it is hunting, it will also rescue its prey, and drive the killer whale away to starve it. The majority of people call it

It marine police.

Some netizens also joked that its daily routine consists of eating, sleeping and hunting killer whales.

There are a large number of barnacles attached to the pectoral fins and tails of humpback whales. They will use these adsorbed things as weapons, so you cannot just scrape off the barnacles on the humpback whales.

However, it seems that no killer whales were seen today, only humpback whales.

It is a little regretful that he already has the camera in his hand. If he encounters it, he will definitely be able to capture the famous scene of a humpback whale slapping a killer whale. It will appear decades in advance for future ocean development.

Can provide some materials.

Seeing that his father was about to sail the boat to avoid these two big guys, he didn't object. Anyway, he watched them up close and took pictures.

These two big guys probably won't follow the boat all the time. At most, they will just have some fun and then leave.

Sure enough, as he expected, just as the fishing boat accelerated a little and changed direction, the two boats started moving quickly.

They swim quickly underwater for a while, then suddenly break out of the water and slowly rise vertically. When their flippers reach the surface, their bodies begin to slowly bend backwards, like an acrobat's back roll.

Until the whole body fell backward toward the water.

Ye Yaodong could still see it clearly from a distance. After all, it was huge and easy to identify, which made him pat his thigh. Unfortunately, he didn't have a mobile phone or a drone.

Father Ye saw the two whales tumbling and swimming away on their own. He did not speed up and change direction, but continued to move forward according to the original route and worked around them.

"Leave? Just leave."

"It's better to encounter less big guys like this. You can't catch them anyway. It was so scary just watching them there."

"Didn't A Dong say that this thing is friendly to humans? The one I saw just now seems to be swimming by itself, not us. If you encounter something like this occasionally, just watch it once or twice, and it's okay."

"Haha, you think you can brag again when you go back to the village?"

"Hey, there are a lot of weird things on the sea. If you encounter them occasionally, it's good to go back to the village and talk about them, and it can also open the eyes of the villagers. They all stay in the village and expect us to go far away.

Wherever I go, I usually tell them novel things."

When the boatmen saw that the fish had all swam away, they relaxed and began to brag and talk on the boat.

There were still some unfinished goods on the deck, and they were all talking and picking. They all woke up, so no one went back to the cabin to lie down. At this time, the fish had just left, and everyone was in a lively conversation.

And it’s almost lunch time. I steamed a big pot of seafood in the morning and there is still a lot of it. Everyone throws it away while eating. There is nothing precious to say. But even though there is still half a pot, I just need to add a vegetarian dish for lunch.

Just after everyone had sorted the remaining goods on the deck and was about to come over for lunch, two small island-like things protruded from the sea in front of the fishing boat, and they kept moving.

As the fishing boat moves forward and closes the distance, the "little island" is churning and waves are splashing all around.

Ye Yaodong was holding the rice bowl. The first time he saw it, he pointed forward with his chopsticks and spat out the rice in his mouth, calling everyone, "Look... there... there's something going on over there."

"What kind of big fish is hunting there?"

"It looks like the water splash keeps churning..."

"Why do I think it's the two whales I saw before?"

Father Ye was probably also confused and wanted to see what kind of fish it was. Anyway, the fishing boat was moving forward, so he didn't deliberately intervene.

After getting closer, everyone discovered that they were really the two humpback whales just now. They did not go far, but were caught up by them.

The direction of their boat trip at this time was also towards the East China Sea, and they had just been out for one night and half a day.

After Ye Yaodong reacted, he immediately ran to the cabin to get the camera. After the fish ran away, he also returned to the cabin and threw the camera on the bed. He didn't know what kind of fish the humpback whale was fighting for, so he took the camera first.

On hand, you are prepared.

And after he took the camera, he asked his father to run and tell him not to run away, but to keep a certain distance first, not too far away, and not too close, so as not to be affected.

When these ocean overlords fight, they probably get entangled together, pat their tail fins and fins, and bite them a few times with their mouths.

I'll see if I can take a photo of the picture later, but it's a pity that the photo is in black and white. If I don't get closer, it will probably be very blurry.

However, the humpback whale photographed earlier was right next to the fishing boat, so the picture was extremely clear, as the giant creature was right next to it.

"It seemed like a few big fish were fighting!"

"How big is the fish that can fight the two whales just now? It shouldn't be much different, right?"

"Shouldn't we stay farther away? Will we hit our boat? The fish is so big and only a little smaller than the boat. It looks more than ten meters long. Not to mention hitting the boat with its tail, it is just on the side.
