Sperm whales are bigger than killer whales. Does it have natural enemies? what do you think?

A sperm whale ran aground in Xiangshan, Ningbo, and the situation was very critical. After timely treatment by the rescue team, there is no danger, and the sperm whale finally returns to the embrace of the sea. As the largest toothed whale at present, does the sperm whale have any natural enemies? We often read reports that sperm whales are eaten by killer whales. Is it true?/You don't say. Why is the sperm whale bigger than the killer whale but can't beat the killer whale? Is the current ocean overlord a killer whale or a sperm whale? Now listen to me and give you a simple science popularization.

First of all, whether killer whales are natural enemies of sperm whales. The so-called natural enemy means that one species has an overwhelming advantage over another, that is, two species fight as soon as they meet, and each time one species wins and eats the failed species. Although killer whales have many records of eating sperm whales, they basically eat sperm whale cubs and smaller female sperm whales. For adult male sperm whales, killer whales are also difficult to win, so so far, there is no record of adult male sperm whales being eaten by killer whales. When male sperm whales go out for food, black whales only bully the elderly, women and children. To sum up, strictly speaking, killer whales are not natural enemies of sperm whales, but enemies.

Secondly, let's talk about why sperm whales can't beat killer whales. Generally, sperm whales are about twice as long as killer whales, but their combat effectiveness is far less than that of killer whales. Sperm whales and killer whales are social creatures, but generally only a dozen sperm whales live together, and the number of killer whales living together is much more than that of sperm whales, and some can reach dozens, which provides the advantage of teamwork for killer whales to hunt sperm whales. In addition, after a long period of natural evolution, the sperm whale's teeth have degenerated, which can be said to be just a decoration. On the other hand, the teeth of black whales are very sharp, which eventually leads to sperm whales losing to killer whales and becoming delicious in their mouths.

The competition between marine species is as cruel as land creatures, or even more cruel. Black whales won victories again and again with their sharp teeth and teamwork, and finally determined their dominance. Long ago, the ancestors of sperm whales, with sharp teeth, ruled the whole sea area. With the degeneration of sperm whales, sperm whales were eventually replaced by killer whales.
