The blue whale is so big. If a killer whale or shark passing by is hungry and bites a piece of meat casually, what should it do?

Nature is cruel. Once blue whales are injured, they are either infected or besieged by other fish. We can imagine the fate of the injured blue whale.

We emphasize here that sharks will not attack blue whales because they are not on the same level, but killer whales are different. They are the top predators in the ocean. Let's start with killer whales and blue whales.

First, the shape and habits of killer whales.

Black whales, also known as killer whales, can reach 9 meters long and weigh 9000 kilograms. Black whales are gregarious mammals. They like to live in groups. Some groups are very large, and the number may reach 50.

Because they are social animals, they attach great importance to consanguinity and take consanguinity as a link. They form a group with close blood relationship, and some ethnic groups are relatively large, so they will choose the patriarch, which is somewhat similar to human beings.

Second, killer whales are the top predators in the ocean because of their size and habits.

Because killer whales are social animals, they have a great demand for food. In nature, if there is not enough food, this group will soon become extinct.

Therefore, in order to ensure adequate food, they need to cooperate to attack other populations. Because of their excellent physical condition and excellent group cooperation, they usually choose animals bigger than them, such as blue whales. Otherwise, you can't support the tribe. They are well-deserved top predators in the ocean.

Maybe some people don't know much about the status of killer whales. If you don't understand, we can think of the ocean as a grassland, and killer whales are equivalent to lions on the grassland. I think everyone should understand.

Third, it is precisely because killer whales have the status of top predators in the ocean that they attack blue whales. So what's their goal?

1, before saying the target, let's introduce the blue whale.

The blue whale is huge and should be the largest animal at present. Even in the ancient marine age, it is not inferior to prehistoric behemoths.

An adult male blue whale can weigh up to 200 tons, and as far as the tongue is concerned, it can reach 2 tons, and even stand for 50 people. You can imagine that picture.

However, the killer whale weighs only one-ninth of the blue whale, and the blue whale is still an adult killer whale, not to mention a juvenile killer whale. In the face of such a huge animal, killer whales naturally dare not act rashly.

2. The blue whale is huge. Killer whales have no chance? No, let's take the lion as an example to illustrate the goal of killer whales.

Let's take the lion as an example first. Lions are the hegemons on the grassland, but when facing elephants, they only choose young elephants as targets, or sick and weak elephants.

In the same way, the blue whale is equivalent to the elephant on the grassland. Black whales do not attack adult male blue whales. Killer whales usually target female blue whales with young whales. Because blue whales are solitary animals, they will be lonely. The success rate of killer whales is relatively high and sure.

3. How did the killer whale attack the blue whale?

As mentioned earlier, blue whales are solitary animals, so they are weak. Once a single blue whale appears, killer whales will quickly seize the opportunity to attack magnetic blue whales or juvenile blue whales.

Black whales are social animals, so they are very good at cooperation and have a clear division of labor. The leading killer whale, the leader of the killer whale group, will arrange some killer whales under the blue whale to stop the blue whale from diving; Then arrange some killer whales to both sides of the blue whale, mainly to interfere with the swimming speed of the blue whale; Arrange some killer whales above the blue whales, in order not to let the blue whales breathe; Finally, the strong adult killer whale was arranged to attack the tail of the blue whale, and finally the blue whale died of exhaustion.

Fourth, some cases of killer whales attacking blue whales.

1925, Antarctic, several killer whales besieged an adult solitary blue whale, which was successful; 1943, southern Australia, 1 1 Killer whales besieged single blue whales and succeeded; 1986, a group of killer whales besieged a lonely blue whale in Monterey Bay, USA, and finally the blue whale succeeded.
