Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

Facts have proved that even if you have a human soul, which can be called the IQ ceiling in the ocean, the deep sea can still teach you how to be a human being.

Sound waves are emitted, and some return quickly, bringing back the message "There is an obstacle 50 meters ahead, please turn left"; Devour yourself.

He felt that he had broken into a real-life minesweeper game, and every step of the way was frightened, for fear that he would accidentally bump into something that shouldn't be bumped into.

At this time, Shengcun is very grateful that he is still a cub, and he can show his fragility without any scruples.He clings to his mother's side tightly. Although the mother whale's skin is cold and rough to the touch, it is still the only support in the deep sea.

The mother's expression could not be seen in the darkness, but it adjusted its posture slightly and rubbed against his head with its slightly warmer belly, Shengcun was convinced that this was a sign of pampering.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, the group of whales came to a place with slightly flatter terrain.

Sheng Cun had never seen such a strange landform - pillars of uneven height emerged from the bottom of the sea, like a small forest with only tree trunks.

This place seems to be a hunting ground, and everyone quickly dispersed, shuttling between the stone pillars for food.

Sheng Cun, who has only seen the school of lantern fish, looks confused. What kind of food is there in this pile of bare stone pillars, which can feed eleven sperm whales?

He wanted to move with his mother, but there was nothing around him, he listened attentively, the sound of babbling came from a distance, his mother was eating well.

Sheng Cun flicked his tail, raised his head, and tried to call his mother.

"Where are you, baby, come here quickly, there is food here, if you don't come, there will be nothing..."

Because her mouth is full of food, the mother whale's voice sounds slurred and perfunctory.

Sheng Cun wailed: Mom, so love will disappear, right?

Forget it, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing!

While rushing towards his mother, Shengcun turned his head to search for food in all directions.

The food radar is always extremely sensitive, and soon, he discovered that there was something else under the gravel on the seabed.

There are always some small things arching around under the sand, sometimes even poking their heads quietly, and then as if they noticed something, they slid out a hole and retracted quickly.

The sonar system glanced at it and quickly judged that it was some kind of small crab.

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Shengcun's mouth, and he approached them quietly, preparing for a small dessert before dinner.

Unknowingly, he has opened his "bloody mouth". Compared with his big head, his lower jaw is disproportionately short, but when it crosses the seabed, it is still like a giant shovel, scraping the thin sand Turned upside down.

The crabs whose ceiling was overturned had a deep understanding of what is meant by "a person sitting at home, but the collapsed house comes up from the sky". They blinked their big eyes, froze in place for a while, and forgot to run around.

Shengcun likes such an obedient prey the most.Although rubbing his chin on the gravel just now felt a bit painful, but the small crabs were extremely delicious, with a crunchy texture, and he took one bite at a time, enjoying it.

"Son, what are you doing?"

An old and kind voice sounded in his ears, but the oppressive feeling of the giant whale made Shengcun tremble involuntarily, tensed his body instantly, and stood upright.

He chewed twice quickly, swallowed the crab in his mouth, and looked at it with the most innocent expression.

He almost forgot that heibuliuqiu couldn't see his eyes, so he replied softly, "I'm... hunting by myself."

There was silence all around.

He began to doubt himself deeply, why Granny Ton's tone was so surprised, don't sperm whales eat crabs?But obviously this kind of small thing is easy to catch, and the taste is quite good, right?

He heard the slightly trembling voice of his mother-in-law: "Child, doesn't your mouth hurt? Karin... Didn't she teach you how to catch crabs?"

Sheng Cun: "...?"

He opened his mouth. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or the stimulation of sea water. There was a fine tingling pain in his chin, like the feeling of being pricked by a needle.

It's broken, it's definitely broken!Sheng Cun's heart ached, and he wanted to raise his hand to touch the wound, but found that the front fin was too short to touch it at all.

He twisted his body in embarrassment, and originally wanted to make up his mind with a few high and low sentences, but when he opened his mouth, he let out a cry that belonged to a cub, as if he was acting like a baby.

Ah, is this some strange biological instinct?Sheng Cun inexplicably got goose bumps all over his body.

However, Grandma Ton obviously had no resistance to the cub's coquettishness. It gently touched Shengcun's injured jaw with its broad forehead, like some kind of strange comfort.

Originally, it wasn't even a skin injury, but suddenly being treated so solemnly, Sheng Cun shyly flicked his tail, with nowhere to place his front fins, so he could only sway side to side.

But these little gestures turned into a different meaning in the eyes of Granny Ton, she patted Sheng Cun and signaled him to follow.

It brought Shengcun to another piece of sand not far away, and he soon found that it was full of small crabs.

"Children, watch carefully, crabs have to be caught like this!"

After reminding Granny Ton, she dived quietly, her body almost clinging to the sand.

A blast-like "click" sound exploded on the sand. It was different from the gentle sound of pathfinding and communication. The sound waves used for hunting contained huge energy, and the sand and the surrounding sea water began to vibrate.

Shengcun's mouth opened uncontrollably, and he felt that even his body was trembling slightly. This was the first time he felt the powerful strength of the sperm whale.

The sound waves came and went quickly, through the still fluctuating sea water, Shengcun sensed the little crabs lying on the sand that were dizzy by the shock.

"Okay, let's go and eat. You may not be full after such a small amount. I'll go find something for you. This child Karin is really caring about herself. She even forgot about her cubs..."

Grandma Ton swam far away, while Sheng Cun stayed where she was, feeling some warm liquid gushing out of her eyes, which quickly melted into the sea water.

It wasn't until he found that the little crab woke up like a dream and started digging quietly, that he shook his head violently, rushed to the sandy ground and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Soon, Grandma Ton came back with a little squid still moving slightly in her mouth.

Karin followed it slowly, saw Sheng Cun, and rushed forward quickly, her two enthusiastic front fins almost pressed him into the sand.

"I'm sorry little guy, I really forgot to teach you to hunt, but how could you think of such a move as shoveling sand with your chin, it's so funny hahahaha..."

Grandma Ton gave a low cough, and Karin immediately shut up, and wiped the gravel off her chin in an embarrassing manner.

Handing the squid to his mouth, Shengcun opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

I will definitely stop those whaling guys, at all costs!He swears secretly while chewing hard on the tough squid.

The author says:

About the method of sperm whales catching crabs... This is the author's nonsense, it is purely fictional, but it is true that sound waves can assist in hunting.
