Chapter 369 Human-Friendly Killer Whale

"Captain, you can't go down now, if those killer whales go and come back, you will be in danger." Chen Qingsheng said earnestly.

Xiang Yang was silent for a moment. Because of its ferocious character and its terrific reputation, people often interpret it as a fickle siren or a god of revenge in movies, comedies, and novels. Synonymous with ferocious and terrible.

Many ghost stories describe the killer whale as a creature more terrifying than the devil.

In fact, killer whales have a habit that scientists and biologists don’t understand until now. This habit is that killer whales that eat everything are very friendly to humans. They are like super-sized dolphins, and sometimes they will take the initiative to rescue them. The humans who fell into the water brought their camels to the shore.

Although the killer whale has the word whale in its name, it actually has dolphin blood in its body. Even if it is captured by humans, it will not fight back.

But things are not absolute.

At least Xiang Yang knew about two incidents of killer whales hurting people.

One of them happened to a tamed killer whale. Afterwards, the investigation found that the tamed killer whale was abused by the trainer, and the killer whale killed its trainer in self-defense.

Another incident occurred in the Strait of Gibraltar on July 29, 2020.

What happened was that Victoria Morris, a British maritime university student, followed three sailors sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar.

During the voyage, they encountered nine orcas.

Whether it is a student of marine biology or a sailor, encountering killer whales while sailing at sea is undoubtedly exciting.

At that time, Victoria Morris and the others were so happy that they took out their mobile phones and took crazy pictures of the killer whales.

But what people didn't expect was that the nine killer whales did not disperse around the boat, but instead surrounded Victoria Morris and the others, and began to slam into the hull of the boat!

The killer whales hit the hull with their bodies, attacking the rudder and keel at the bottom of the hull. While attacking, they made deafening whale calls. Because the attack force was too great, the engine and rudder of the ship all failed, and the bow was even turned around by the attack. up 180 degrees.

Everyone on board panicked.

The sailors quickly furled the sails and sent out distress calls with life rafts and radios.

The marine police who received the report almost didn't regard them as false alarms. It took a while for the marine police to believe what they said-a group of killer whales was attacking them.

No wonder the Coast Guard took Victoria Morris and the others as a prankster.

Killer Whale? attack people?

This is a strange thing that never happened.

These two keywords are not even connected at all.

Numerous facts have proved that killer whales are very friendly to humans. There are many videos of encounters between humans and killer whales abroad. Sometimes children swim in the sea, and a few killer whales swim leisurely to the children. , Scared the child's family members enough, but in the end the child was safe and sound.

However, what made Victoria even more desperate was that the attack by the nine killer whales lasted for more than an hour.

The boat that Victoria was on was 14 meters long, and the killer whales continued to attack for more than an hour, but they still failed to overturn the boat.

But the boat was broken too, the rudder was battered and the engine was broken.

It took an hour and a half for the boat, which lost its rudder and engine, to be rescued.

After the boat was brought ashore, people were even more surprised to find that one-third of the rudder was damaged, and there were even tooth marks of killer whales on it.

This thing is really too strange.

Many marine biologists simply didn't believe it when they got the news.

A professor of marine biology said there were indeed cases of killer whales interacting with boats.

As a highly intelligent mammal, killer whales sometimes use the rudder as a toy, biting or patting the hull.

But killer whales attacking ships for more than an hour and destroying rudders and engines never happened.

However, just two days later, on July 31, another cargo ship was forced to stop by four killer whales in the same sea area. After the four killer whales stopped the cargo ship, they violently attacked the hull, causing the rudder of the cargo ship to be stopped. damaged.

There was once a video of a killer whale swimming to the edge of the beach and swiping away a tourist in one gulp abroad. At that time, the video caused quite a stir, but the video was soon proved to be false.

Overall, there are two documented cases of wild killer whales attacking ships, and none of direct attacks on people so far.

Xiang Yang shook his head, took the iodine and climbed directly towards the boat ladder. He didn't think the killer whale would swim back, and the killer whale dared to trick the blue whale, but it didn't mean it dared to trick the humpback whale.

Even if the orcas go and return, Xiang Yang doesn't think he will be the first victim killed by wild orcas.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the killer whales really go back and attack Xiang Yang, Xiang Yang can easily throw off the killer whales with the help of the mysterious jade shell.

The male humpback whale was very happy to see Xiang Yang coming down, and immediately touched Xiang Yang with his big head.

Seeing that the cracked skin on the head of the male humpback whale was still oozing blood, Xiang Yang immediately felt distressed, and hurriedly climbed up the head of the humpback whale to clean the wound on the male humpback whale.

Xiang Yang carefully inspected the humpback whale first, and found that they were all skin wounds. The wounds were terrifying to look at. In fact, compared to the huge size of the humpback whale, it was equivalent to a slightly broken finger of a human being. Not to mention the bone is visible deep in the wound, not even the fat under the cortex of the humpback whale can be seen.

Xiang Yang wiped the wound of the humpback whale with iodine, the humpback whale was very quiet during the whole process, and seemed to know that Xiang Yang was treating its wound.

At this time, the female humpback whale also swam over.

The female humpback whale also experienced a big battle, but it did not have obvious visible wounds on its body. It is larger than the male humpback whale and is less likely to be injured.

Moreover, the male humpback whales are the first to charge into the group of killer whales, plus killer whales are very smart creatures, they also know that they have to pick up soft persimmons, and when they see that the male humpback whales are smaller than the female humpback whales, they all set fire The male humpback whale was attacked. In short, the male humpback whale attracted most of the firepower of the killer whales, and the female humpback whale was hardly injured.

Xiang Yang poured two dozen doses of iodine on the wound of the male humpback whale, then climbed onto the back of the male humpback whale, smiled and waved to the female humpback whale.

The female humpback whale flicked its tail, as if responding to Xiang Yang, and then stayed motionless not far from the male humpback whale, like an isolated island.

Xiang Yang smiled and was about to jump off the back of the male humpback whale and climb back to the boat.

At this moment, the corners of Xiang Yang's eyes suddenly twitched, and he saw in the depths of the sea below him, a jet-black mass moved just at that moment.
