Sharks, killer whales and humpback whales, the grudges between marine creatures are vividly reflected in them

Some people say that "grudges" are a product of human society, but there is no such thing in the animal world, only "the survival of the fittest". Is this really true?

The relationship between animals is indeed the purest law of the jungle, but this relationship of the jungle may develop into a generational feud between some animals after years of fermentation, such as the lion and spotted hyena on the grassland. Lions and spotted hyenas are originally competitors in the same ecological niche, but after years of fermentation, this competitive relationship has become a feud and is firmly imprinted in the genes. Spotted hyenas will attack lionesses and bite and kill cubs whenever they have the chance, and male lions will also actively look for and hunt spotted hyenas, and then drag their carcasses to patrol the grassland. The grudges between animals exist not only on land, but also in the ocean.

In fact, the grudges between animals are most vividly reflected in the ocean.

There are many kinds of creatures in the ocean, but if someone asks which animal is the most ferocious, many people may think of the great white shark first. The great white shark is the largest carnivorous fish in the world today, usually about 4.5 meters long and weighing up to 600 kilograms. The great white shark is not only the largest carnivorous fish in the ocean, but also the most ferocious carnivorous fish. Its diet includes everything from crabs, seabirds, and turtles to seals, other types of sharks, and even whales. And because the great white shark is a near-shore upper-level shark, it will overlap with the human activity area, so it also likes to attack humans. So far, there have been more than 300 recorded incidents of great white sharks injuring people.

Why are great white sharks so interested in humans?

In fact, great white sharks are not interested in humans, but in everything. Most predators have a fixed diet and will not easily try something they have never eaten, but great white sharks are different. They like to try different things in order to continuously expand their diet. Human meat is not really delicious, so in most cases of great white sharks injuring people, the victims were only bitten off a part of their body, but not completely eaten. Great white sharks are so ferocious and terrifying, but there are times when they are scared to death. Who can scare them? Killer whales. Killer whales are commonly known as "killer whales". The reason for this name is that in 1991 and 1999, a male killer whale named "Tilikum" killed trainers twice in the oceanarium.

In fact, killer whales kill people because the cramped living environment in the aquarium and the forced training have caused them great psychological pressure. In the natural environment, there has never been an incident of killer whales hurting people.

Killer whales in their natural environment are gentle and never hurt people, but they like to hunt another kind of animal, the great white shark. An adult male killer whale can reach 8 meters in length and weigh about 5.5 tons. Not only is its physical condition far superior to that of a great white shark, but its intelligence level can even crush a great white shark. What scares the great white shark even more is that killer whales hunt great white sharks on their own initiative, rather than on a whim. Biologists believe that killer whales hunt great white sharks because they like their fatty livers.

How scared are great white sharks of killer whales?

In the hunting place of great white sharks, as long as the figure of killer whale appears, the great white shark will immediately disappear without a trace, and will not return here for the entire hunting season. It can be seen that killer whales are a nightmare for great white sharks. Killer whales not only like to hunt great white sharks, but are also very interested in another kind of marine life, that is, humpback whales. Killer whales are definitely not able to beat humpback whales that are 13 meters long and weigh 30 tons, but with their super high IQ, they can still make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and take the humpback whale baby away from its mother. The killer whale's behavior of stealing children has aroused great hatred among humpback whales, and this hatred is deeply imprinted in the genes of humpback whales. As long as the killer whale's hunting behavior is discovered by the humpback whale, the humpback whale will immediately come to destroy it.

The behavior of humpback whales disrupting the hunting of killer whales is not limited to the killing of humpback whale babies by killer whales. Humpback whales will rush to the rescue of any animal that is besieged by killer whales.

According to observation records, there are more than 100 recorded cases of humpback whales disrupting killer whale hunting. One of the records records that a group of killer whales once besieged a gray whale mother and child. After two humpback whales discovered it, they immediately rushed to rescue. After that, humpback whales continued to rush from far away. In the end, 16 humpback whales came to help. Because of the hatred deeply engraved in their genes, the rescue behavior of humpback whales is not limited to protection. They will do their best to attack killer whales. The whole battle lasted for 6 hours. In the end, the killer whales were defeated and the gray whale mother was saved. Although the gray whale baby was hunted by killer whales before the humpback whale army arrived, the humpback whales finally snatched the body of the little gray whale from the killer whale's mouth. In short, even if you succeed in hunting, I will never let you eat it. It can be seen how deep the grudge between humpback whales and killer whales is.
