In a family of killer whales, most are dominated by adult females, immature males, and cubs, with only a few adult males.

According to the living habits of mammals, males will be driven out of the family after reaching sexual maturity to avoid inbreeding.

The killer whale is a special case. Some males grow up to 30 years old and still live with their mothers and sisters, but they do not mate with their relatives. Their thinking is very similar to humans, and they seem to know that doing so will affect the ethnic group. development of.

This is a thinking ability that other mammals cannot possess.

The adult males who stay in the family usually take the responsibility of finding food. Sometimes the female parents will also participate in the predation and guide the cubs to learn predation skills.

But in the face of powerful opponents such as big sharks and humpback whales, they dare not take risks. The male whales in the family will end the battle in the fastest and most direct way.

In Liu Wei's field of vision, five male killer whales killed the great white shark, dismembered its body, did not eat immediately, but notified the other members with a long grunt.

Soon, the other killer whales in the family swam over.

Orca eating is a relatively slow process, they will not compete and gobble up like crocodiles.

Instead, they swim in very orderly one by one. Several male killer whales fix their prey in the water, while other members take turns to eat.

The female patriarch will bite away the meat and feed her children.

The audience in the live broadcast room saw that the object it was feeding was at least nearly two meters in length. According to the growth of the killer whale, it was about four to five years old, but it still needed the mother to feed it bite by bite.

"It's so big, but also feed!"

"Too spoiled!"

"My nephew is five years old, and he still needs someone to feed him!"

"The living habits of killer whales also resemble humans!"

Liu Wei was floating in the water, shooting the big family eating in the distance, "Brothers, it will take a while for them to finish eating. Let's give everyone a brief introduction to killer whales!

When it comes to killer whales, the first thing that comes to mind is its intelligence. According to current scientists' research on known creatures on the earth, it is believed that killer whales are likely to be one of the species with intelligence closest to humans. It is closely related to bottlenose dolphins, chimpanzees and Orangutans are as smart as they are, and may even be more intelligent than them.

The intelligence of killer whales can be directly reflected in hunting tactics. Today we have seen how they drive fish to lure prey. In their daily lives, there are more hunting tactics. For example, in polar regions, they tend to churn together. Create turbulent waves to lift seals from the ice, and can grasp the seals’ weaknesses and blow bubbles underwater to interfere with the seal’s sight.

They also use sonar to vibrate the herring's swim bladder, so that groups of herrings gather together, and then use their tails to sweep the school of fish and eat the stunned fish.

What’s even more incredible is that this kind of creatures living in the global oceans have evolved a set of extremely complex language systems that can communicate with each other. For example, killer whales that live near the polar regions can live in oceans for a long time. There is no barrier-free communication between killer whales, but according to genetic analysis, killer whales living in different oceans are different. It is like humans living in various countries around the world that communicate through a certain common language. "

"Fuck, this Nima is too exaggerated!"

"The killer whale living in the Chinese waters of the North Pacific said to the killer whale in the Atlantic: What are you looking at?"

"Laugh and cry! It turns out that killer whales can speak dialects!"

"Powerful language ability! It's amazing!"

Liu Wei: "The powerful language system allows killer whales from various regions to migrate globally in search of food and cooperation. This is similar to the early tribal culture of humans.

There is another saying about the intelligence of the killer whale. Its intelligence is 2.5 times that of chimpanzees, which is equivalent to how old a human is.

This statement is relatively one-sided. The 2.5 times the data is indeed a scientific measurement, but it is accurate to say that this data is obtained by comparing the brain and body mass of killer whales and chimpanzees, and cannot be used as a result of comparing the intelligence of the two.

The measurement of intelligence level is not simply a superposition of data. Different organisms have different ways of expressing their intelligence. Estimating the intelligence of a species requires a series of complex tests. For example, the most basic mirror test is used to judge the self-awareness of the species. At the time, I mentioned this kind of intelligence test to you. In addition, there are also tests on sociality and logical thinking.

Through many years of research and intelligence calculations on the killer whale by scientists, facts have proved that its intelligence is indeed very high, not only good at hunting as simple as, but also strong language communication ability and stable and complex social relations.

We all know that in nature, higher intelligence means stronger survivability. This is also the main reason why killer whales have become the second mammal that can spread all over the world after humans. "

The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned.

After listening to Liu Wei's popular science, the killer whale is already regarded as a "human" on the bottom of the sea!

The only difference is that in the process of evolution, there is no civilization or a civilization unique to killer whales that humans have not yet researched.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was enthusiastic, and the barrage rolled quickly. Liu Wei could feel the audience's curiosity about the killer whale. He hit the iron while it was hot and then preached, "After talking about the intelligence of the killer whale, let's take a look at its combat effectiveness.

Because of its superior IQ, people often think that the killer whale's terrifying record in the ocean comes from its intelligence. If it loses its intelligence, the killer whale can only be slaughtered.

This view is also very one-sided. According to the industry's research and data analysis, after removing the intellectual factor, the killer whale is also a top predator with strong combat effectiveness.

Let's take a look at the terrible record of the killer whale in the ocean.

Baleen whales are the general term for 15 species of baleen whales in the ocean, including the blue whales and gray whales we are familiar with, all of which are deep-sea giants.

In the case of incomparable body size, killer whales still pose a great threat to 11 species of baleen whales, and they are also the only species capable of routinely preying on medium and large whales.

Killer whales are not bullying and fearful of hardship, they only capture the cubs of large baleen whales. They also have records of killing humpback, sperm, and gray whales.

And it is very common for killer whales to kill adult gray whales and humpback whales alone.

From 1990 to mid-1993, there have been 3650 cases of humpback whales that have been attacked by killer whales observed in the waters of various countries in the North Pacific region, and obvious killer whale bite marks can be found on their bodies.

Also in other waters, the opponent with the highest proportion of baleen whales attacked is the killer whale!

Take sperm whales as an example. We all know that adult male sperm whales are one of the best in the ocean, but they can only protect themselves in front of killer whales. Sometimes even their wives and children cannot be saved, and they watch their relatives be Killing orcas! "

"Is it so powerful?"

"Fat Tiger looks so cute, I really haven't seen it so strong!"

"King Kong Lolita!"
