Recently, a 15-meter-long humpback whale carcass appeared on the beach of Cape Town, South Africa, and in the face of such a large animal carcass, the local municipal department called in bulldozers to deal with it. But since this happens, perhaps this sea area will be dangerous in the next few days.
According to Cape Town coastal rangers: this is a male elderly humpback whale, which can basically rule out the possibility of killing, and the preliminary determination is that it died of natural causes, and its death time was about a week, and after death, it was soaked in the sea for five days and then washed up on the beach by the waves.
According to experts, humpback whales like this 15-meter-long body are common body sizes, and they usually weigh more than 20 tons. These big guys migrate through the waters around Cape Town every year to reproduce.
The birth, old age, illness and death that occur in the process of migration are natural phenomena, just like the metabolism that occurs on the earth's organism, and there will be silent decline when there is life.
Usually, after the whale dies, their body is not wasted, and at this time, a large number of foraging sharks will gather to eat the huge flesh. For sharks, this is a good opportunity to replenish protein and other nutrients needed by the body, and the blue sea will not be polluted by whale carcasses, so it can be purified in time.
Although a whale washed ashore by the sea is only a rare case (very rare in the past), it can prove that whale activity can naturally attract sharks to swim and track. Therefore, when dealing with the whale, the local government still issued a warning to the public, reminding surfers, diving and swimming enthusiasts not to move in the nearby waters in the near future to avoid danger.
There used to be a custom in the steppe that after death, people would leave their bodies on the grassland for wolves to eat, thinking that their bodies would be clean, would not pollute the prairie, and pure souls could return to Tengri.
Like the wolves of the steppe, sharks in the sea are nature's top predators, preying on prey and acting as nature's scavengers. When they eat, strange humans must not break into their sight, otherwise they may accidentally become their "snack".
