Whales were not originally marine creatures, but evolved from land-based creatures into the sea about 50 million years ago. About 34 million years ago, the ancestors of whales, the ancient lizard whales, appeared, and then evolved baleen whales and toothed whales, and the beams of killer whales and humpback whales were formed.
humpback whale
Humpback whale Scientific name: Megaptera novaeangliae, is a baleen whale. The blue whale is the largest baleen whale in the world. Humpback whales are known for their jumping out of the water, their long forewings and their complex calls. When the activity is more than a pair of activities, the temperament is gentle.
Adult humpback whales can grow up to 15 meters long, weigh more than 20 tons, and their main diet is shrimp, crabs, small fish and the like. Humpback whales have no teeth, and when they eat, they directly open their mouths and swallow the seawater together, and need to eat more than 1 ton of food every day.

Killer whales are different, killer whales belong to the toothed whale, dolphin family, the world's largest toothed whale is the sperm whale. Male killer whales are generally 8 meters long, the longest known is 9.75 meters, weighing up to 5.5 tons, and the females are slightly smaller, generally 7 meters long and weigh 3.8 tons.
Killer whales are known for their large dorsal fins and have a mixed diet, with whales and great white sharks in its food chain and their presence in the oceans. When hunting, the general group moves out, and is the fiercest king of the sea.
Eating, sleeping, and fighting killer whales are not empty, in fact, humpback whales often love to fight unevenly! Whenever a killer whale wants to eat other fish, they will come to rescue other fish even if they are a few kilometers apart, and use its forewings and tails to slap the killer whale hard, not wanting the killer whale to eat the meal well. Killer whales hissed, and there was no way to take humpback whales, because humpback whales were too large, and even if killer whales called for their companions, there was no way to take humpback whales.

And this is not an isolated phenomenon, humpback whales often do this, the main target is killer whales. Either in the fight against killer whales, or on the way to fight killer whales, this is how the title of Marine Police came from.
So why do humpback whales have to fight with killer whales, experts speculate that humpback whales are often preyed upon by killer whales when they are young. Whales are very clever, this vendetta is naturally written down, and when they grow up, they naturally want to take revenge. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
