The reason why these whales ran aground may be that they swam to the beach at high tide, but they didn't quit in time at low tide, so they ran aground. Of course, there is also a saying that there is something wrong with the whale's navigation system, or one of them ran aground, and others tried to save him, resulting in a collective stranding.
The fish stranded this time is a melon whale. At first, several people recognized it as a sperm whale. The snout of the melon whale is relatively sharp, the length of the flippers is about 1/5 of the body length, the tip is relatively sharp, and the dorsal fin is triangular, bending backwards in the middle of the body. The width of caudal fin is about 1/4 body length. The overall color is gray-black, and the ventral surface is shallow. The upper and lower lips and anal fissure are light-colored, the eyes are dark, there are white spots on the throat, there are light spots on the navel, and there are anchor light spots between the two flags.
The melon-headed whale is named because its head is pointed and melon-shaped, and it belongs to the only animal under the dolphin family. This whale is distributed in the deep sea of tropical and subtropical waters all over the world, such as Suao in Taiwan Province and Donggang in Chinese mainland, with a life span of over 30 years.
Melon whales are very gregarious whales. If they appear, the number of whales must be hundreds or even more than 1000. Moreover, among whales, many of their migrations and activities are consistent. If a small group runs aground, hundreds of melon whales may run aground together, which also shows that they have strong social ties.
Melon whales mainly feed on coastal fish, squid and crustaceans. Many people think that the melon whale should hunt in the deep sea because many of its prey live in the deep sea around 1500m. Melon whales belong to the second class of animals under special protection in China. Once they are found stranded, they should contact the local authorities in time.
