Chapter 174 Whale, here I come

Two days and one night, the trip to Kenting was over. Drive to Hualien, the largest county in Baodao. I heard that you can fly planes here and even watch whales.

Unlike the bustling Taipei, there is a small town facing the sea in the east of Baodao. The Pacific Ocean breeze blows here all day long, and the temperature is soothing and pleasant all year round. All of this seems to be a place that is slowed down, called Hualien.

They relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and drank water near the water. At the earliest, people in Hualien had to go out to sea to fish every day, but found that the Black Tide Current brought rich fishery resources, attracted a large number of whales and porpoises to gather, and became their breeding grounds.

Currently, a total of 27 species of whales and porpoises have been discovered, including sperm whales, killer whales, pilot whales, big-winged whales and spiral dolphins, bottle-nosed dolphins, patterned dolphins, etc.

The most famous one is the spiral dolphin. The locals call it the sharp-mouthed one. They are not afraid of people at all. They like to follow whale watching boats and even jump on the bow. They are the most popular.

Now is the best whale watching season. Baodao has three major attractions: Wushi Port in the northeast corner of Yilan County; Guangyu Port in the northern end of Hualien; Fugangjialan Fishing Port in Taitung City.

Later, media reported that because it was close to the outer waters of the vast Pacific Ocean, there were more than 95% of the chances of seeing whales and dolphins, while in other waters, it became a hit in an instant and became a big tourist star.

I found a hotel to stay and arrived at the port. There were crowds of people. Dozens of yachts of all sizes were ready to set sail and go out.

I will directly book a small yacht with a senior captain and a chef. Today I will eat at sea, watching whales and enjoying the food.

"The port is the vast Pacific Ocean. If you are lucky, you might see sperm whales squirting water!"

The captain is very humorous, the weather is very good, the cloudless, the wind is calm, and it is best for going out to sea. He is leisurely driving the boat and chatting with Johnson.

"Generally speaking, the probability of seeing dolphins is 99%. The probability of whales is decreasing every year due to various environmental reasons, no more than 20%. There is no way, even if we locals see less and less."

Johnson nodded. He went to sea these days and was in a very open mood. No wonder fishermen from the island country are rated as the longest-lived person in the world every year.

There was a chirping sound above my head. When I looked up, I saw the white seagulls in the sky, in groups, and the snow-white and blue sky shining in harmony.

"Boss, look at the dolphins!"

Suddenly, Xia Long's excited voice came from behind, and he quickly turned around and ran to the deck. Not far away, there were groups of dolphins appearing in groups.

In the blue sea and blue sky, one after another, the smooth body forms a perfect arc on the sea surface, and the sun shines on it, shining brightly and dazzlingly...

The captain set up an automatic sailing and also came to the deck. Seeing that Johnson was so excited, he smiled and said, "This area of ​​sea is the favorite place for these little guys. Many of them patted their chests before going out to sea to ensure they could see it. Otherwise, you can get a free ticket, and you will come again next time."

"In the past, it was basically relying on fishing to live, but now it basically relies on whale watching. Every household has a boat. Every time they go out to sea, they try their best to find the whale's traces, and even increase their sailing time. The boat owners have a lot of experience. Sometimes there will be multiple ships in contact. No matter who finds a whale, all whale watching boats will flock to you."

"It is easy to watch pigs and watch whales. It is the easiest to see killer whales in the past two months. In another three months, I am lucky enough to meet sperm whales swimming by. My huge body is like an aircraft carrier, spraying water columns more than ten meters high in the air. That scene..."

Not only Johnson, but also Xia Long and Xia Hu are looking forward to it. Good guy, I saw the world's largest creature with my own eyes...

Very happy!

Everyone took out their telescopes, scattered, looking for whales around. Suddenly, Johnson saw a commotion on the water not far away, and silver lights suddenly emerged?

The captain laughed: "That's mambo fish, our name is flying fish, they are basking in the sun!"

"Look over there, are there black streaks of black on the sea? They are the dorsal fins of the banana sailfish, or the elusive tofu shark..."

After looking around, I felt a little disappointed. There were many small things, but the real big guy didn't show up. Could it be...

"Come on, come on!"

Suddenly, Xia Hu at the stern of the boat screamed, and everyone ran over quickly and looked in the direction of his finger...

"Drud whale!"

"It's really a killer whale!"

The captain held the telescope and said excitedly: "Big guy, a big guy at least eight or nine meters!"

Johnson stared at the telescope and saw that the sea not far away was like boiling water, constantly tumbling, a huge black shadow slowly moved, and water columns appeared in the air from time to time, and the scene was extremely shocking!

"Jump up!"

Suddenly the black shadow jumped up, and the huge body flew out of the sea, showing it in front of everyone. There was a loud thud, like a bomb, countless splashes of water, just like...

"They have a lifespan of up to a hundred years in the wild. They are very smart. They are emotionally rich than primates. They have a strong language system and even speak dialects. They often use tone to mock the failed hunting of similar people."

The captain looked at the shadow gradually fading away and sighed: "It should be hunting alone. There must be companions nearby. Although they rarely attack humans, we should not take risks!"

Johnson nodded and vented his anger. Meeting was fate, just look at it, what's the use of following?

Signature photo and post on Moments?

"If you want to say that the most fierce predators in the sea are them, they are the top killers!" On the way back, seeing that everyone was still unsatisfied, the captain smiled and said, "If the great white shark encounters a killer whale, it is only a dead end, and it is not a heavyweight at all. Especially the clustered animals, they are always fighting in groups and are unreasonable at all."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the captain continued, "These guys are very rogue, basically domineering, no one dares to provoke, no one dares to bully, even if they don't bully the big one, they bully the small one."

"Is the blue whale big? Can't you afford to offend the killer whale? But I've seen that kind of scene with my own eyes..."

"The only enemy is the humpback whales. If you really meet them, it will be like Mars touching the earth. It's strange that humpback whales are baleen whales, which are usually very gentle, but whenever they encounter a killer whales, they will become fierce immediately and their relatives will not recognize each other and must kill them!"

"I heard many stories from the older generation that if the killer whales are preying on the ground and succeed immediately, humpback whales will always suddenly come to rescue these animals preyed by the killer whales."

"Anyway, they don't care whether they can be saved or not. They can't let their mortal enemies eat enough, as if they are full of hatred in their bones!"

A video circulated online, a group of killer whales are preying on a pair of gray whales and mothers. The gray whales have weak combat power and are far from being the opponent of the killer whales. When the mother and son are struggling to death, they appear like the savior in a fairy tale.

A humpback whale came and immediately fought a desperate battle with the killer whale. However, he was weak and had never hit the killer whale. He was unconvinced and called CALL to attract several companions, and worked together to drive the killer whale away, and finally rescued the gray whale and his son.

Then he left, doing good deeds without leaving a name for himself!
