On December 1, 2023, the mother of the killer whale at the Chimelong Killer Whale Conservation and Research Base in Hengqin, Zhuhai successfully gave birth to a baby killer whale boy after 17 months. The baby killer whale is about 2.3 meters long and weighs about 200 kilograms when it is born.
The past two days have just been full moon, and a grand full moon party has been held.
There were also celebrities and children who came to the scene to send blessings to the baby killer whales.
But many people still have a lot of misunderstandings about killer whales, killer whales are not whales, they are actually dolphins, and they are also the largest and strongest dolphins in the world!
The growth cycle of killer whales is about 15 years. This time is much longer than that of other dolphins, and as they grow, killer whales continue to grow and gain weight, ranging from about 180 kilograms at birth to several tons when they reach adulthood.
Like ordinary dolphins, killer whales also have a relatively high IQ, their brains are very developed, they often catch food in groups, and use social behavior to catch prey stronger than themselves, among which their food can be found and even large whales will appear, some of which are also fierce great white sharks!
