Although the great white shark is the top predator in the ocean, there is actually one animal that is far more powerful than the great white shark, not only killing the great white shark in a second, but also feeding on the liver of the great white shark.
This animal is a killer whale, although it looks cute, not aggressive, and has never attacked humans, but it is a veritable ocean overlord, not only preying on sharks, but also daring to attack huge whales.
Killer whales, which belong to the matrilineal social animals, are taught from an early age by female adult killer whales in the group, so they have a high IQ, a lot of hunting skills, and even they have their own unique language.
And the killer whale is 8-10 meters long, weighs more than 9 tons, and has sharp and dense teeth in its mouth. Their large size, combined with their excellent team assistance, allows them to roam the oceans.
Although the great white shark is only 4-5.9 meters long and weighs about 2 tons, it has sharp and jagged teeth in its mouth, and its attack power is extremely strong, swimming in the ocean is as high as 69km/h, and ordinary animals cannot prey on the great white shark at all. So, how do killer whales do it?
It turns out that the great white shark has a fatal shortcoming, as long as the belly is flipped upwards, the brain of the great white shark will secrete a large number of neurotransmitter serotonin, its own perception system will also be reduced, and the great white shark will enter a state similar to coma and paralysis, which will last for about 15 minutes.
This shortcoming is deeply embedded in the DNA of killer whales, which have long been used to prey on great white sharks. Killer whales will first surround the great white shark, and then use their huge bodies to hit and overturn the great white shark, but bite the great white shark's stomach.
Killer whales also use their teeth to tear a hole in the shark's pectoral fin and suck out the liver of the great white shark. As for why killer whales like to eat the liver of great white sharks, there are currently two theories.
One theory is that killer whales don't have good teeth, especially older ones (up to 80 years old), their teeth are gone, and they can only eat some soft and delicate food.
Another theory is that killer whales have too high an IQ and have become like humans, with their own unique tastes and desire to enjoy food, eating great white shark liver, like eating a small snack.
In addition to preying on a variety of sharks, killer whales also dare to attack whales. In the 2021 Australian Brimmer Bay Canyon, sixty or seventy killer whales joined forces to prey on a 33-meter-long juvenile blue whale.
The whole round-up process lasted for more than three hours, the killer whale first surrounded the blue whale in the middle, then went out in batches, took turns to hit the blue whale, and then drove the blue whale to the shallow area until the blue whale's physical strength was exhausted, and finally killed it.
In addition to this killer whale killing incident, scientists have also monitored many killer whales following juvenile whales, but there are few records of actual whale killings.
Although killer whales run rampant in the ocean, they are instigated when they encounter humpback whales. Humpback whales will beat killer whales when they have nothing to do, and even see killer whales killing other animals, humpback whales will rush over to beat killer whales, it can be said that they like to "see the righteous and courageous". So why do humpback whales like to beat killer whales?
According to scientists' observations, killer whales often harass humpback whale pups, and humpback whales themselves have a high IQ, and they firmly remember this "enemy" when they are young, so they begin to take revenge when they grow up. #I'm going to make micro-headlines ##Animal##Punch Card Challenge Game##Killer Whale##大白鲨 #
