On March 18, 2021, a super-hunting team of 75 killer whales on the west coast of Australia launched an attack on a blue whale, which was more than 15 meters long and still bloodied under the siege of the killer whale swarm.
This is the largest killer whale swarm ever observed to besiege the blue whale, and the reason why the killer whale swarm attacked the blue whale was because the blue whale mistakenly entered the breeding ground of the killer whale swarm. However, even though it was 75 killer whales, it took 3 hours to completely kill the blue whales.
In addition to the blue whale, the killer whale most often attacks the large marine animal is the great white shark, as the most powerful fish in the ocean, the great white shark under the siege of the killer whale only has two ways to escape or open the stomach, such as in 2015, on the beach in the Cape Province of South Africa, marine biologists found 5 great white shark carcasses in a month, these corpses were invariably eaten by the liver.
By identifying the bite marks on the abdomen of the great white shark, marine biologists have identified the culprit - the killer whale, which is the famous "dorsal fin brothers" (two adult male killer whales) in south African waters, and since then, for a long time in the area, the great white shark has not reappeared. It can be seen that even the "overlord of the sea" Great White Shark is not an opponent of killer whales.
So, if the great white shark is replaced by a megalodon shark that is comparable to a blue whale, can the killer whale swarm still take it? I think so, so why? Let's elaborate on the killer whale's method of killing great white sharks, blue whales, and the strength of megalodon sharks.
How do killer whale colonies kill blue whales and great white sharks?
Killer whales kill great white sharks and blue whales in a completely different way, let's start with great white sharks. Killer whales can kill great white sharks for two reasons:
First: Killer whales are larger than great white sharks. Although the great white shark is large and can rank in the top few fish, it is not enough to see among marine mammals, not to mention the large baleen whales, even the killer whales as toothed whales are a full circle larger than it. Adult great white sharks have an average body length of about 4 meters and an average weight of about 2.4 tons, and adult killer whales have an average body length of 7 meters and an average weight of 4.5 tons.
Of course, the former ocean overlords have not escaped the fate of extinction, but their extinction has not yet been accurately said, some scientists believe that the climate has become colder due to food loss and extinction, some think it is related to the rise of the great white shark, in short, from the existing situation, they can not compare with killer whales.
