The sea is a dangerous existence for many people, many marine creatures we do not know, our knowledge of them only exists in books, today we will learn about a huge and mysterious creature in the ocean, it is called a ghost whale creature by scientists.
1. The living habits of ghost whales
A black shadow in the deep blue sea, leisurely gliding through the water, its speed is as fast as lightning but it will not make a little wave, it is a ghost whale. The ghost whale has a wide range of distribution, and it can be found in many oceans, its adaptability is very strong, and its swimming speed is also fast, just like the loneliest whale in the world, which likes to live alone in the ocean. Its body is grayish-black overall, and some people call it a gray whale for this reason.
2. The origin of the name of the ghost whale
The name of the ghost whale actually comes from its strange whereabouts, the ghost whale is often pasted with barnacles and other creatures, which look like a rock from a distance, so it often disappears inexplicably, and its whereabouts are uncertain, so it is called a ghost whale. And when they face the enemy, whether it is stronger than it or a very strong enemy, it will not flinch, as long as there is the last trace of strength, it will fight to the end, so many large creatures in the ocean will not easily provoke it.
3. Characteristics of ghost whales
There are many characteristics of the ghost whale, first of all, in terms of its size, the adult ghost whale is about 13 meters long, the longest can reach 15 meters, and the weight reaches dozens of tons.
Although the ghost whale is huge, it is still "mild" among many sharks, it mainly feeds on fish, shrimp and sea urchins in the ocean, and occasionally uses herring eggs as supplementary food, although its food types are relatively rich, but they all belong to some small fish, which also causes it to often not fill its stomach and need to swim around to feed.
Although the ghost whale does not "sing a song", it will keep "humming a small tune", sometimes leaning out of the sea, sometimes going deep into the bottom of the sea. It is not an exaggeration to say that it hums a minor tune, and scientists have found that it hums more than 50 times an hour when studying it, but there is no exact explanation as to why it hums incessantly.
