"My God, what is that...?"
Ye Lin's worldview has been completely reshaped today. The sea is much more interesting than the mountains. Not only can the fish understand human speech, but they can also bring fish to people. Now there are even fish in the sea as big as a ship!
"It's a humpback whale!"
Fu Wan exclaimed in surprise, "How did this big guy get here?"
Humpback whales, also known as big-winged whales or humpback whales, have very large flippers, which are about one-third the length of their entire body, as their name suggests.
Humpback whales have black backs and white bellies. They mainly feed on krill and small fish and are found in oceans all over the world.
Humpback whales are generally docile, but the one in front of them was clearly anything but.
"Mom, is it raining?!"
Fu Ling rubbed her eyes as she came out of the cabin, and to her surprise, she felt a few drops of water on her face as soon as she came out.
Before Fu Wan could speak, the little guy saw the spectacular scene not far away.
A column of water shot into the sky from the water's surface, and a huge fish tail emerged from the sea.
"Wow, Mom, what a big fish!"
Fu Yun also came out of the cabin rubbing her eyes. Hearing Fu Ling's shout, she also leaned over the side of the boat to look, her eyes full of surprise.
Fu Wan used her hands as a comb to tie up their messy hair.
While tying her hair, she didn't forget to educate them.
"This is a humpback whale; the water spout is what it blows out when it breathes in the sea."
"But Mom, they're fighting!"
Fu Ling exclaimed in surprise, and Ye Xiaocui and the others next to her also cried out in surprise.
Fu Wan looked over upon hearing the sound, and sure enough, the orca and the humpback whale were fighting!
"It seems the rumors are true; killer whales and humpback whales really are sworn enemies."
Fu Laoda stroked his chin, looking at the whales chasing each other in the distance and sighing.
As soon as Fu Ling heard there was a story to tell, her eyes lit up and she looked at her grandfather.
Ye Xiaocui had never heard of the sworn enemies between orcas and humpback whales. Seeing that Boss Fu was still keeping her in suspense, she immediately felt a little disgusted.
"If you know, just say it already! Can't you see we're getting tired of waiting?"
When Fu Laoda saw that his wife had spoken, he began to tell the stories that the village elders had told him.
This story actually begins with the orca, a group of street urchins.
As free spirits in the sea, orcas are not picky eaters; they will try anything and dare to try anything.
This range even includes humpback whale calves.
Furthermore, orcas travel in groups, making their hunts more conspicuous. Humpback whale calves are relatively weak, both in size and speed compared to orcas.
Moreover, these orcas like to hunt their prey in a playful way. When Fu Wan saw the orcas patting the sea turtle Fugui, they were just playing around. They would only swallow their prey when they got tired of playing.
Sometimes they don't even eat; they just play. Many humpback whales are bullied like this by these orcas when they are young, and they remember it when they grow up.
If an orca is spotted nearby, the humpback whale, now an adult, will come to seek revenge, as its speed and size are comparable to the orca.
This revenge is not limited to interfering with orcas' hunting; they also take advantage of their height to beat them up.
Humpback whales might even reflexively attack killer whales when they encounter them; there's no way around it, since these two species are sworn enemies!
Hearing this, Fu Wan felt that the orcas that Boss Fu was talking about were not her group of understanding and human-like orca friends.
These guys actually hunt humpback whale calves! Who would believe it!
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan tried to defend the orca, suggesting that perhaps the humpback whale had provoked it first. After all, they had seen how good the orca was, and the baby orca had even given them a manta ray earlier!
Before anyone could even finish their thought, the orcas and humpback whales in the distance were already locked in a fierce battle.
Several killer whales swam swiftly towards the humpback whale, and then with a "clang," swam away from the whale's belly.
There were even orcas that swam directly behind humpback whales, opened their mouths wide, and bit the tail of the humpback whales, leaving several deep bloody holes, which made Fu Wan and the others feel a chill down their spines.
My goodness, are orcas really that fierce? But then again, if they weren't fierce, the fishermen who go out to sea nearby wouldn't avoid them like the plague.
However, the humpback whale was no pushover. With a sudden flick of its tail, it sent the killer whale that was biting its tail flying.
Then it pressed its advantage, opening its mouth wide to bite the orca next to it, while its flippers slapped the orca repeatedly, which looked painful.
The two whales fought for almost half an hour, and Fu Wan and her group watched with great interest. After all, this was a rare sight, and some fishermen might never encounter it in their entire lives.
Even if they encountered each other, they would quickly set sail and leave, unlike Fu Wan's family who stayed on the boat to watch the commotion.
Fu Wanzhen regrets that there were no smartphones at that time. If she had recorded these scenes, she might have been able to submit them to the Animal World program.
"Mom, when will they finish fighting?"
Fu Ling stared intently at the whales in the distance. The killer whales and humpback whales were also exhausted, especially the humpback whales. After all, there were more killer whales, and it was already showing signs of running towards the seabed.
But the orca, being a belligerent creature, clearly wasn't going to let it go, and it also dived into the seabed before suddenly bursting out of the water again.
Then it flicked its tail, and a heavy object flew directly towards Fu Wan and the others.
"Quick, quick, get over there in the cabin!"
Fortunately, Fu Wan and the others were no longer on the deck when they were watching the commotion; instead, they were resting and eating next to the cabin.
With a loud bang, Fu Wan saw a large fish crash heavily onto the deck.
Fish: I really will thank you.
"Holy crap, it's a triggerfish!"
Even Boss Fu couldn't hold back this time and blurted out a curse.
This triggerfish weighed about 30 to 40 pounds, and even the metal sheeting on the deck was dented from the impact.
Luckily, no one was on the deck just now, otherwise if that fish had hit them, they would probably have been half dead.
Seeing that the whales in the distance seemed to have stopped fighting, Boss Fu finally mustered up the courage to go out and drag the cannonfish over.
The triggerfish, also known as the triggerfish, has a large head, a yellow mouth, eyes on its back, and very sharp teeth.
The flesh of the triggerfish is very delicious and it is one of the most exported fish in China. After the flesh is skinned and deboned, it is made into canned food, which is very popular.
Old Fu happily carried the nearly dead cannonball fish to the cold storage, making Fu Ming, Fu Liang, and Ye Lin extremely envious.
Why do these whales only deliver fish from one boat? Don't they even have another boat?
