Brown described, “This is a strategic and cooperative battle, they (killer whales) patience with a protracted war, to destroy this huge blue whale.”
The isolated blue whale tried to escape, but was unable to defeat the killer whale herd’s repeated attacks, and was forced into shallower waters step by step, making the blue whale’s escape route shrinking.
Brown said it was the killer whales’ strategy, “they seem to know what to do.”
After about four hours of intense fighting, the blue whale gradually exhausted, the surface for the last Time after the air will be buried in the sea, a cloud of blood then floating on the surface. The killer whales began to eat the spoils of war, a group of seabirds also joined the ranks of the melon.
