Chapter 243 The Most Dangerous Shark in the Ocean
Sharks, sharks!
While Bifang was terrified, Pang Di in the live broadcast room was already sweating profusely.
"White tip shark! It's actually a white tip shark!"
When Jarrett heard Pondy say the name of the shark, his two brown eyebrows instantly twisted together. As he often shoots documentaries, he is not completely unfamiliar with various top predators.
The four of them looked at each other. Although they were all afraid of the appearance of the shark, they didn't understand why the two men tensed their bodies. It seemed as if they were facing a great enemy. They couldn't help but feel curious.
"What happened to the white tip shark?"
Pang Di gritted his teeth, cold sweat still breaking out all over his body. Seeing Bifang confronting the shark, it seemed as if the person standing on the raft was himself.
Faced with the four brothers' questions, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"White tip shark! It is recognized as one of the five most dangerous shark species in the world! But I personally think it is the most dangerous shark, bar none."
"Isn't it Jaws?"
"Yeah, isn't the great white shark the most dangerous?"
"Why does this shark not seem too big? The last great white shark I saw in the aquarium was over four meters long ! Didn't God Fang deal with a catfish that was almost three meters long? The largest of these things seems to be only two meters long? I think he can handle it."
The third of the four opened his arms and drew a big circle, trying to illustrate the concept of three meters. He didn't know what Tiktaalik was. The name was too complicated for him. He just thought that the thing that Bifang dealt with in the video looked like a big catfish.
Pangdi looked at the four people who spoke and sneered at their naivety and ignorance: "White tip sharks have attacked humans more times than all other sharks combined!"
hiss!!!
The quartet gasped , more than the sum of ?
What is the concept?
And now, such terrifying sharks were actually right next to Bifang. The nearest ones were not more than five meters away from him. Their grayish-white dorsal fins were exposed above the water, and a hideous and bloody smell was blowing in their faces.
The eldest brother raised his hand tremblingly and touched his chest pocket to take out the first aid medicine, but his hand was empty.
hateful!
I forgot that I am only in my thirties and my cardiovascular system is very healthy. I have no habit of always having emergency medicine on hand, and now I have no use for it!
No, I have to stock up some quick-acting heart pills at home next time!
On the other hand, Bifang also quickly recognized the species of shark and said something almost the same as Pangdi.
Dangerous. Very dangerous.
"The whitetip shark is very ferocious and bold. It is the most famous ship-riding shark. It does not care about the divers' defensive measures at all and is extremely resilient and aggressive. During World War II, many transport ships were sunk, and the soldiers who fell into the water often faced the threat of whitetip sharks. Some scientists even believe that it is the shark that devours the most soldiers. Even the ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau listed the terrifyingly courageous whitetip shark as one of the most dangerous sharks."
The audience didn’t know who Jacques Cousteau was, but they got the point: he devoured soldiers the most!
Even though whitetip sharks are the most numerous sharks in the ocean and have a larger base number, this alone is still alarming.
[Fuck, I always thought the great white shark was the most dangerous shark, I've never even heard of the whitetip shark]
[Maybe I've watched too many movies, the white tip shark isn't as fierce as the great white shark, and it looks pretty good]
[What's the use of looking good? It will bite you anyway]
[Don’t they say sharks don’t like to eat people? I saw this on the Internet]
[Not liking something doesn't mean not eating it, and sharks are very curious about humans. Great white sharks have big, sharp teeth, and a strong jaw bite force. If you get bit, you're basically done for, not to mention that you'll bleed, so your ferocity is aroused to the MAX]
Seeing this, the audience was all shocked. Now they felt that such a small raft was not reliable at all, and they wished they could replace it with a battleship, no, an aircraft carrier!
Bifang stood on the boat and tried not to move, for fear that the raft would shake and attract the attention of the sharks. Once they launched an attack, he would most likely fall into the water, which would make the situation even more dangerous.
As they gradually approached the mainland, the color of the sea water faded a lot, the dark clouds dispersed, and with the help of the gradually strong sunlight, Bifang could easily see the conditions seven or eight meters underwater.
In the sunset-colored sea, huge predators swam with the schools of fish, slowly shaking their fins and tails, wandering in the sea.
The school of fish grew bigger like a snowball, and their bodies twisted wildly. On the surface, it seemed that even the school of sharks could not do anything to them. But every time a shark approached, a gap would appear in the school of fish, and then it would return to its original state after the sharks left, showing who the real leader was.
A cold sweat broke out on Bifang's forehead. He didn't expect that he was so "lucky" to actually break into the hunting ground of the whitetip shark. Perhaps he should have left .
No, maybe it was too late. He had just discovered the school of herrings and hadn't caught any yet when the sharks all came.
"Many schools of fish in the ocean behave in groups, which they use to defend themselves against predators and provide group protection, such as mackerel and capelin. A common school of herring has one to three million fish, which can be said to be the largest school of fish in the ocean. The predators they attract are usually group predators, which are more dangerous. When I first encountered capelin, I didn't dare to stay for too long, but I didn't expect to run into one."
But there is no point thinking about these things now. The most urgent task is how to survive the crisis. It is impossible to row away directly. The raft is so large that it will be very obvious when it moves, and it is likely to attract the attention of sharks.
No matter what kind of creature it is, it is always more sensitive to "animals".
What's more, there are many white tip sharks hiding in the deep water. If one of them suddenly floats up, it will bite his hands, which is hard to guard against.
Bifang took out a dagger, slowly retreated to the edge of the life raft, took out a long stick from it, and then tied the obsidian dagger firmly to the forked head to make a fork.
"The number of shark attacks reported each year is actually very small, even less than the number of bee stings, and only a small fraction of them are fatal, but regardless, the survivors at sea are far more vulnerable and isolated than the large number of statistics about swimmers on the beach."
After tying the dagger, Bifang swung it around a bit to get used to the feel of it. It felt just right. Once a shark attacked, he would fight back and try to kill the attacking shark before the raft was dismantled.
He didn't dare to get too close to the edge of the raft, but stayed in the center of the raft, keeping a close eye on several white tip sharks in the water. As for those on the sea surface, he was not too worried.
Sharks usually attack in an oblique upward manner, so before attacking, the shark's dorsal fin will suddenly disappear and dive underwater. On the contrary, the danger of exposing the dorsal fin is not high.
In addition, sharks in different regions have different habits. Sharks in the ocean are all capable of preying on humans, but in tropical waters where food is abundant, sharks there are not ferocious and are usually rather cowardly. They can be scared away by poking them with a stick, especially by poking their sensitive noses.
Sharks live and hunt in the deep ocean. Most of the time they forage on the seabed, but hungry sharks will float to the surface with the schools of fish and enter shallow waters.
Unfortunately, Bifang is responsible for both sad things.
Not only is the North Atlantic cold, but sharks are also floating up and opening their mouths wide to enjoy the feast.
