I am not afraid of the opponent's operation, I am afraid of my teammates playing me.
Humans often encounter being hit by teammates when playing games, and in nature, scientists have found that similar phenomena occur.
When hunting in collaboration with other fish,
Octopuses will suddenly attack their teammates.
Ah this, what's going on? Let's first listen to what the "victim" has to say.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > suddenly sneaks in</h1>
Below, is an indictment from one of the victims, Grouper.
Victim grouper:
In fact, it is a very common thing for everyone to cooperate in hunting at the bottom of the sea, mutual help and win-win situation.
For example, before, we had cooperation with moray eels, hunting together, and we had a good cooperation.
However, the octopus of this cooperation really does not talk about martial virtue. What happened? That's what it looks like.
That day, I worked with the octopus brother to catch prey in the coral crevices, and the original division of labor was: I acted as a sentry, looking for possible prey, and signaling to it to help him better hunt the prey.
But who would have thought that after the hunt, the octopus brother, suddenly without warning, punched out and sneaked up on me!
Could it be that he wants to swallow these prey alone? That's also disgusting.
Later, I learned from other fish friends that this is not the first time that octopuses have "committed crimes".
Even, when the hunt was not successful, he would engage in sneak attacks, making people invincible.
Or does he have some kind of violent tendencies?
Who are the victims < h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >? </h1>
This is not a fairy tale, but some vivid scenes that take place at the bottom of the sea. The study was brought by scientists at universities such as the University of Lisbon and was recently published in the journal Ecology.
In the study, there are many types of "victims" observed.
For example, the golden-banded sheepfish, commonly known as the sea carp, is distributed in the Indian Ocean region, and the fish body is flattened and slightly elongated. It inhabits mixed reef sand areas, searching for prey with tentacles, and is carnivorous, feeding on small benthic animals. Another example is the round mouth vice carp, commonly known as Huang Qiugu. Yes, that's right, the Huang Qiugu who is often said. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region. Large fish mostly act alone, while smaller fish forage together on mud floors, carnivorous, searching for prey with their tentacles and feeding on small fish and invertebrates.
There is also the caudal spiny scale fish, which is a carnivorous marine fish in the lower and middle layers of the coral reef area. It is widely distributed, from Hawaii in the east, to the Red Sea in the west, to Amami Island in the north, and to the Spratly Islands in the south.
It usually lives near coral reefs, but it can also be found in lagoons and sinkhole lakes 2 to 40 meters deep. It is a nocturnal predator that feeds mainly on crustaceans and shrimp.
And, the grouper mentioned at the beginning of the article.
This is a class of bony fish, usually with a thicker body and a large mouth. They can be large and more than a meter long, but they are not suitable for long-distance fast swimming.
During predation, they swallow their prey directly, rather than crushing it and swallowing it. Their mouths and gills form a powerful sucking system, sucking prey from a distance. The point is that they are used to eating fish, crustaceans, and even octopus (Crazy Pills: ... ）。 Competition and predation are not either-or antagonistic relationships, love and kill each other.
The above fish have all been beaten when they "teamed up" with octopuses, and the sense of substitution is very strong, and I have even begun to get angry.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > is control? Or sanctions? </h1>
These "victims" are the cases that occurred in the Red Sea in 18-19 years, and scientists have found that:
The octopus will be in the middle of the hunt, and suddenly its partner fish, heavy punch.
If you still have an impression of high school biology, then the interspecific relationship should be described like this:
But it seems that octopus behavior does not quite fit these four relationships?
In this regard, scientists have given two theoretical conjectures:
1. Control your teammates to get higher hunting income
After completing the hunt, the octopus who had the moon first in the water tower began to do whatever he wanted, not wanting other partners to share a piece of the pie.
The scientist said, "This is a selfish act."
2. Sanction teammates and give warnings to some teammates who misbehave
Octopus goes out hunting, often followed by a group of little brothers, and in the middle of these, there are many muddy waters to touch the fish, followed by want to mix rice and eat.
Can't work? That's not ok!
Scientists believe that the octopus's punch at this misconduct is a warning that it can facilitate better collaboration later, thereby improving the overall interests.
This behavior, if simply understood, is that the octopus incarnates as a manager and coordinates the whole in a unified way.
At the same time, it is a magistrate who punishes some misbehaving guys.
Thus, in the process, the octopus is also the "core of the organization", "manager" and "magistrate". While managing, he also uses his refereeing position to gain more benefits for himself.
Thus, this relationship, which is more complex than the previous interspecific relationship, is referred to by scientists as the "privileged relationship of the octopus."
However, the octopus is bullied to the head.
This grouper is obviously not afraid of octopus, and I suggest that it simply get a fight with the octopus.
