The blue whale is so big, what killer whale shark passing by is hungry and bites a piece of meat, so what should it do?
The skin of the blue whale is very thick, more than 20 cm in some places, and the shark and the killer whale's small broken teeth cannot be penetrated, and at most they bite down a mixture of dead skin, parasites and algae. Record of sightings of killer whales attacking blue whales: In Australia in 1942, blue whales fled at high speed. In California in 1977, after chasing 30km, the blue whale ran, and in 1977, the bite of the blubber was bitten, but the blue whale still ran. Tens of centimeters of thick fat, killer whale teeth less than 5cm, can not break the defense, can not prevent the blue whale escape. In other words, there is no blood in a bite.
To tell the truth, if the shark really fights with the blue whale, the great white shark is estimated to be directly killed by the blue whale because of the shark's cartilage structure. The adult blue whale is the largest animal on Earth, with a confirmed body length record of more than 30 meters and weighing more than 170 tons, although it only eats small shrimp and small fish, but that does not mean that it is a bully. Killer whales, also known as orcas, are the top predators of the ocean, with males reaching up to 26 feet long and weighing about 6 tons. They have been recorded to hunt large whales and great white sharks.
In addition to the difference in size, the speed and endurance of the blue whale is also very strong, the blue whale usually swims at a speed of 20 km / h, even if it encounters a large-scale killer whale collective pursuit, the blue whale's sprint speed can be doubled. Small animals are too close to something so big and so fast, and if they are touched, they can be fatal; The average shark or killer whale, hit by a blue whale, or hit by a blue whale's tail fin, will die. Therefore, there is no case of "casually" biting a piece of meat, and the blue whale may seriously injure the attacker if it struggles in pain.
