Chapter 547 Meeting the Blue Whale
"Pfft~"

Suddenly, a jet of water sprayed high and straight into the sky, reaching a height of more than 30 meters.

Lu Xiaolu and Xiao Nan were stunned on the deck, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Whale! Oh my god!"

"Xue Li! Cheng Min! Come out and see!"

Hearing the movement, Shirley and Cheng Min ran out immediately, and let the boat slide by itself.

At a distance of more than 20 meters from the Golden Sailfish, the spine of a huge monster emerged from the water, causing a big wave.

At such a close distance, the scene was extremely shocking.

The three girls jumped to their feet and screamed excitedly.

It was a blue whale. At a glance, it was estimated to be 30 meters long!

It didn't sink immediately, but jumped out of the water again, then turned over, and hit the water heavily, with a "plop", the waves splashed everywhere.

"what!"

By the time the people on the boat reacted, the waves had already splashed on their faces, and if it wasn't for a little distance, they would have been completely soaked.

Lu Xiaolu and the others were stunned. With the size of the blue whale, the distance of more than 20 meters was almost equivalent to being in front of everyone's eyes. When he jumped up, he even covered their eyes.

"Quick! Is the camera on?"

"It's inside, I'll get it!"

This time I didn't expect to go fishing, so I didn't wear a camera. This kind of scene can't be missed. Lu Xiaolu hurried into the house, grabbed a camera and went outside.

Fortunately, the blue whale did not leave, and kept walking in front of the sea, jumping out of the water from time to time.

It's hard to imagine that such a big thing, weighing more than a hundred tons, can jump out of the water and turn around in the air, with terrifying power.

Xue Li, Cheng Min and Xiao Nan looked at the blue whale very excitedly and exclaimed.

Suddenly, the cruising speed of the Golden Sailfish and the Blue Whale began to deviate gradually.

Xue Li grabbed Lu Xiaodonkey and shook it vigorously: "Little Donkey Oppa, go and follow in the boat! I still want to watch!"

"I'll go and go."

"Give me the camera."

Handing the camera to Xueli, Lu Xiaolu ran into the cockpit, turned the rudder, and approached the blue whale, but didn't dare to get too close.

One is that they are afraid of scaring the blue whale away, and the other is that they are afraid that it will attack their own boat. This big guy will probably be able to overturn the Golden Sailfish by flipping over.

From this angle, he can also see it from the cockpit, but he has to stand up, so he has been standing at the helm.

Suddenly, the blue whale sank to the bottom of the water. Just when everyone thought it was going to leave, the next moment, a big mouth suddenly opened and rushed up, causing the sea surface to collapse instantly, and the sea water poured back like a small waterfall.

This time, it didn't sink right away, and stayed in place with its mouth open. All the sea water flowed out, and the small fish and shrimps in it were left in its mouth by rows of teeth-like things. .

From nowhere, a bunch of seabirds flew into the mouth with a twitter, enjoying the fresh food from the mouth of the blue whale without any effort.

"quack!"

Xiaohong on the boat suddenly spread her wings and flew over to join in. This kind of opportunity is rare, and every seabird will not miss it when it sees it.

Xueli and the others were a little nervous, for fear that Xiaohong would be eaten by the blue whale in the next moment.

Although the blue whale didn't intentionally lure seabirds to prey, it didn't care what was in its mouth. It might close its mouth at any time, since it was food anyway.

The rows of things are not teeth, but brushes.

Whales are divided into baleen whales and toothed whales. It is not difficult to understand from the literal meaning that baleen whales have brushes.

The more famous ones are blue whales, humpback whales, and minke whales. They have a relatively mild personality and only eat small marine life, plankton, and small fish and shrimp.

When eating, just open your mouth and drink a big mouthful of sea water, the fish and shrimp are filtered by the brush.

Toothed whales have teeth, and their prey targets are much larger, and their personality is relatively cruel.

For example, beluga whales, sperm whales, killer whales, etc., and even dolphins belong to the suborder of toothed whales.

Toothed whales are smaller than baleen whales, ranging from 1 to 20 meters in length. They like to move in groups and feed on squid, fish, seals, etc.

The more ferocious killer whales will even besiege and kill blue whales in groups. They are extremely ferocious, and they are the natural enemies of blue whales.

And the blue whale that Lu Xiaolu and the others saw now is more representative of the baleen whales. It is not only the largest cetacean, but also the largest mammal in the world.

They are distributed worldwide and can be seen all over the world, but most of them exist in the Antarctic waters, because there are a huge amount of Antarctic krill for them to prey on.

This was the first time that Lu Xiaolu had encountered a blue whale. He had seen a minke whale on the bottom of the sea with a crayfish before. It was only 6 meters long, and it was the favorite target of Japanese whaling ships.

"Little donkey Ouba, stop the boat!" Seeing the blue whale stop, Shirley quickly called out to Lu Xiaolu.

"okay!"

Lu Xiaolu agreed, stopped the boat, and quietly watched the blue whale's feeding process.

Countless seabirds flew into its mouth, ate fish and shrimp on the rows of brushes, and kept an eye on the movements under its feet.

The mouth of the blue whale closed suddenly, and the seabirds, who were always watching the movement, flapped their wings and flew away.

A few silly birds were greedy for food, but by the time they realized it was too late, their mouths were closed and they became the food of the blue whales. This is the so-called death of birds for food.

Shirley watched nervously, looking for Xiaohong's figure among the group of seabirds.

"quack!"

A frigate bird flew aboard and began preening.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Xiaohong was not eaten.

Then, the blue whale preyed again, and it looked like there was a swarm of shrimps below. Xueli and the others could already see the dark patch. This time the blue whale appeared obliquely from the sea, with its mouth wide open. He bumped into the shrimp group on the opposite side.

The swarm of shrimp was pitch-black, and it was as big as a blue whale.

The blue whale slammed into it with its mouth wide open, like a forklift, knocking the shrimps apart.

The sea water is filtered out by it, and the remaining shrimp and small fish are left to become its food.

Nature is really amazing, it has evolved such a huge species, it is fascinating.

Fortunate to see this scene, their trip is really worth it.

Travel, this time is to do whatever you want, wherever you want, since there are no people here, and there are still such beautiful scenery to see, so I just camped here today.

The blue whale preyed twice more, spewed out a jet of water again, with its head down, and sank into the sea, its huge tail raised high, slapped on the sea surface, causing huge waves, and then disappeared into the sea.

Xue Li, Cheng Min, and Xiao Nan were still leaning on the side of the boat, looking out with their heads out, expecting it to appear on the sea again.

Those who haven't seen it don't know, the shock of the huge creature just a dozen or 20 meters away is indescribable, and most people have never seen it once in their lives.
