Chapter 93 88．Groups of wives and concubines

In fact, the number of whale groups is not so large every time. We often see relatively small groups of whales, for example, ranging from 20 to 50 per group. At this time, we call it the whale team. Interestingly, all these whale teams are almost exclusively composed of same-sex whales. That is, either almost entirely of female whales, or almost entirely of male whales. We still don't understand why the whales are combined in this way, but one thing is definitely not because of some form of restricting the communication between males and females like some countries in the east in the feudal era.

Above we used the word "almost" when talking about the composition, which means it is not absolute. For example, in each team of female whales, there will be a male whale following. Generally speaking, this male whale is younger than the male whale in the female whale team, and its body is very strong. His mission in the female whale team is not just a follower, but more importantly a bodyguard. Whenever the female whale team encounters an emergency like being chased and killed, the male whale will be obliged to cover the ladies of the female whale team and go first, but what about itself?You have to swim to the end.

Male whales often play the role of victims for the whole whale team. But when no danger came, the male whale was extravagant and extravagant. At that time, his burly body was wandering among the beauties, and the ladies rushed to follow him, just like the emperors in groups of wives and concubines in eastern countries. Compared with it, these ladies are no more than one-third of its figure, so they look slender and slender. They flocked to his left and right, making him feel simply wonderful. This man led the team of female whales and lived a fairy-like life all year round, wandering leisurely in the world's oceans.

When it's hot, they go to the North Sea to escape the summer heat; The food season in the equatorial region has begun, and they will arrive as scheduled; When they are full of wine and food, they will go to the eastern sea to catch the cool autumn. In these leisurely days, there were not no fights, but it definitely did not happen between the male whale and the female whale of the whale team, but between the male whale and another male whale that broke in rashly. This kind of situation often happens that a foreign male whale is attracted by one of the large number of female whales, or wants to mix into the female whale team to find some advantages, or simply wants to replace the original male whale. Coveted position, all these reasons are normal.

At this time, if the alien whale does not listen to the advice of the original male whale, a big battle will be inevitable. This is a duel for love like humans, and the reason is naturally those female whales who are considered young and beautiful. The two male whales began to fight desperately with their jaws, just like two elks fought with their horns. Both sides were furious, and no one would give in. There is no need to say the result, but it is often a lose-lose situation. The skull was ditched, the teeth were missing, the fins were fanned, and sometimes even the mouth was distorted.

If the original male whale was defeated, then needless to say, the result would be to give up the throne and slip away quietly. If it wins and drives away the male whale who only wants to replace itself, then its prestige will be great. It is triumphant, showing its strength and dignity in front of its female relatives with the attitude of a winner. But generally speaking, we will not catch such whales, so long as there are other whales to catch. The reason is very simple, it is because this kind of whale spends all day looking for women in the female whale team, and has emptied its body.

Although it spreads children everywhere, it makes my whole body not too oily. For whalers, without oil and water, it is useless, and it is useless to catch it. As long as it is not replaced by other whales, the male whale will spend its youth and adulthood in the female whale team. When it grows older, to be precise, it can no longer mate, and its historical mission is completely completed. Unwillingly, it retreated from its position and watched the new male whale enter vigorously. It let out a long sigh, and then left in the distance. From then on, it spent the rest of its life in a lonely hermit life.

It walks alone, does not join the ranks of any whale group, and its spirit begins to age together with its body. It looks back on its own life, reveling in the past from time to time, until the last hour. We often see such old solitary whales in the whaling career. They do their own way, see the world, and are indifferent to everything. But on them, you can still see the glory of their youth. After talking about the female whale team, let’s talk about the male whale team. The male whale team does not have as many bells and whistles as the female whale team. They are young, strong, brave and aggressive, and they are full of inexhaustible treasures.

This is the chief object pursued by whalers. The male whale team is composed of absolutely all male whales, without a single female whale, otherwise the male whale team will have wars every day. The male whale team is magnificent, and each male whale has endless energy to vent, so they are very aggressive and aggressive, just like a group of young men who keep teasing each other. When they become adults and have the consciousness of finding a mate, they go their separate ways to find their lovers. One very important difference between the male and female whale teams is how they behave when confronted with an attack.

When one of the male whales was attacked, none of his companions came to his aid and heeded him. They all abandoned it and fled, and the old friendship was gone. When one of the female whales is attacked, its companions are very concerned about it. They circled around it, and some even made scapegoats for it, which made people very moved by their affection. This different reaction of female and male whales to the same event seems to be the exact opposite of the human, that is, male and female, reaction to the same event.
