Killer whales eat seals and penguins, why never attack polar bears

The earth we live on is a planet surrounded by water, and the most indispensable ingredient on this planet is water. In the world, the ocean occupies 70% of the area, and in the ocean lives nearly 70% of the world's organisms, there is a complete biological chain in the ocean, and each organism has its own food chain.

Status. Speaking of which, there is a marine animal in the ocean.

It's very ferocious, it's killer whales.

is the apex predator of the ocean. Killer whales eat seals and penguins, why never attack polar bears.

The main reasons for this are as follows. <>

First, it has a lot to do with the lifestyle of polar bears. First of all, the first point is that the polar bear uses the ice floe as a hunting ground, this way is very old, the hunting efficiency is very low, and the killer whale wants to hunt the polar bear, it is simply impossible, because it is on the ice floes, and it is very difficult to hunt the polar bear. After all, killer whales are ocean-dwelling animals, while polar bears are amphibious.

If a marine animal wants to hunt amphibious polar bears on land, this is a great difficulty. <>

2. Polar bears have thicker fur on their bodies. Secondly, another point is that polar bears still have thicker fur, and killer whale teeth may not be able to tear the fur off the polar bear's body. Even if all the fur on the polar bear's body is torn apart, some of the hair will enter the killer whale's stomach, which will cause very uncomfortable pain to the killer whale, and it cannot be digested, so the killer whale is reluctant to hunt the polar bear.

3. Predation on polar bears is far less nutritious than penguins and seals. The last point is that polar bears are very hungry tolerant, which makes polar bears far less fat than penguins or seals. Therefore, many times killer whales are reluctant to prey on polar bears, and only when they have to do so will they hunt polar bears, and preying on polar bears may also cause danger to themselves, after all, the lethality caused by polar bears' claws and teeth is also very huge.

Killer whales only eat seals and penguins, and do not attack polar bears, because polar bears are much more aggressive than seals and penguins.

Both killer whales and polar bears are at the top of the food chain, killer whales go to the North Pole to hunt, and it has a small chance of encountering polar bears, and polar bears are not one of the foods in its food chain.

First of all, killer whales live in the sea, polar bears live on the ice, these two rarely meet, if they really touch, they will eat, although polar bears are very strong, but in front of killer whales are four or two thousand pounds.

Because polar bears live on ice, killer whales cannot attack polar bears, and polar bears' fur is difficult to digest.

Don't attack polar bears? The discovery of polar bear remains in the stomachs of killer whales has long been reported.

Polar bears eat sea lions.

Polar bears are full-fledged carnivores in the bear family and their diet is meat. They mainly prey on seals, especially ringed seals, as well as bearded, saddle and hooded seals. In addition to this, they also catch walruses.

Beluga whales, seabirds, fish, small mammals.

Carrion is also sometimes cleaned.

Polar bears adjust their diet due to the climate:Spanish newspaper El Mundo

September 1, 2015 Road, for example, as the Arctic ice level decreases, polar bears have to travel long distances to find food and shelter.

They have to swim longer distances, and fatigue and loss of body fat can make their bodies weaker. There is also an increased risk of drowning of their young. In recent years, polar bears have been found to eat creatures that were not previously part of their diets, such as dolphins.

The reason why beluga whales and polar bears clash is actually very simple, they are forced to live. Polar bears are the natural enemies of beluga whales, polar bears have to hunt beluga whales in order to survive, and beluga whales also have to clash with polar bears in order to survive. The relationship between their biological predators and ** eaters is dictated by nature.

The reason why polar bears choose to hunt beluga whales is because polar bears grow in the Arctic, but in fact, there are not many animals that grow in the Arctic, and many animals cannot adapt to the cold of the Arctic. As for some small fish and shrimp, it is difficult to feed the huge body of polar bears. Beluga whales are mostly found near the North Pole, which should be a low-hanging fruit for polar bears.

Moreover, although beluga whales are social animals, some beluga whales will be more mischievous and have a habit of roaming alone, which undoubtedly gives polar bears an excellent opportunity to hunt beluga whales. And because beluga whales don't have too many sharp teeth, for polar bears, it can be said that they are not lethal, so for polar bears, beluga whales should be a good prey, they are docile and don't like to attack.

However, because beluga whales have a migratory habit, polar bears cannot hunt only one type of whale. In fact, the main prey of polar bears is seals, which are also easy to obtain and have low combat effectiveness for polar bears. Polar bears hunt seals in the same way as beluga whales, waiting for the beluga whale to stay near the trapped ice vent, the polar bear slams the prey with its powerful forepaws, and then drags them to the ice to feast.

Whether it's a polar bear or a beluga whale, they're all our protected animals. In fact, polar bears prey on beluga whales, perhaps in our eyes, is a very cruel thing. But in nature, it's a very common thing.

Nature may seem cruel, but it is also very gentle, it has its own unique balance, and we have no right to interfere.

In winter, beluga whales are usually trapped in the ice and cannot escape to open water several kilometers away. Polar bears are particularly adept at taking advantage of these situations and are able to use their sense of smell to find beluga whales. The bear slams the beluga whale and drags them to the ice to eat them.

It may be that beluga whales and polar bears often clash over food, which is a rare occurrence in the Arctic.

It's nothing more than one to be beaten, and the other is unwilling to suffer. Therefore, the sea does not want to become food, and the polar bears on land also want to eat, so they have to go to the sea.

1. Seals are a general term for pinniped subspecies seals, with a thick and round body that is spindle-shaped. The whole body is covered with short hair, the back is bluish-gray, and the belly is creamy yellow with blue-black spots. The head is nearly rounded, the eyes are large and rounded, there is no external auricle, the snout is short and broad, and the upper lip tentacles are long, thick and hard, in the shape of a rosary.

Living within the Arctic Circle.

2. Penguins, yes"Ocean Boat"The good name of the city. Penguins are one of the oldest migratory birds, with 18 species of penguins in the world, most of which are found in the southern hemisphere. It mainly feeds on krill, squid, and small waiters.

3. Due to the huge geographical separation between the natural habitats of the two animals, seals do not prey on penguins.

1.Seals are carnivores, and in addition to fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans, they may also eat some very large animals, such as penguins.

2.Seals living in the polar regions sometimes go up to Hengwu Glacier, where they may encounter penguins.

3.When they encounter a lone penguin, they will bite the penguin's foot with lightning speed and then keep shaking them until they faint or die.

4.The seals then remove the penguin's fur and eat it.

。Fish is the main food, but also crustaceans and cephalopods.

Not all seals can eat penguins, and seals in the Arctic are not the species that eat penguins. Penguins make up only half of the food in the seals, and in addition to eating, it is also an act of entertainment and practice of predatory skills.

Seals - distribution.

It is mainly distributed near the Arctic and Antarctic, and in temperate or tropical oceans, with 10 genera and 19 species known. Seals are found all over the world and in the cold polar seas, Antarctic seals live in Antarctic ice sources, and due to their small numbers, Antarctic seals have been listed as internationally protected animals.

Seals - food.

While all seals are carnivores, only spotted seals prey on penguins and only make up 20% of their food, but there have been four seals that seem to have a particular preference for penguins, setting a record for 15,000 penguins in 15 periods.

Other seals mainly hunt krill, fish and squid, and food preferences often vary depending on the species.

Like penguins, some seal pups eat stones to aid digestion and reduce buoyancy in the water.

Seals mainly prey on benthic animals such as shrimp, crabs, molluscs, and bottom-dwelling fish such as carps and plaice, but also catch them.

Eat squid. Seals have a smooth body and are very good killers! It ambushes its prey in a narrow passage through the island. When it sees an unsuspecting penguin, it rushes at the speed of an arrow and quickly bites its foot.

Seals toss penguins into the glacier and shakes their dying penguins, perhaps not eating penguin feathers, so they don't enjoy the meal until most of the penguin's feathers have been shaken.

Because penguins and polar bears are not located in the same place, penguins cannot be eaten by polar bears.

Penguins mainly live in the Southern Hemisphere, there are 17 or 18 known species of penguins in the world, most of which are distributed in the Antarctic region, and polar bears are animals that can survive in harsh environments, and their range is mainly in the waters with ice floes near the Arctic Ocean.

It can be seen that because penguins are found in the southern hemisphere, polar bears are found near the Arctic Ocean in the Arctic, so polar bears do not eat penguins.

Penguins are in Antarctica.

But if you really put the penguin in front of a hungry polar bear, it is estimated that he will swallow it without hesitation!

Also: Darwin seems to have mentioned this problem when he was in the origin of species, and it is inconclusive whether there were penguins in the Arctic Circle until now, because all the surviving members of the penguin family originated from Antarctica, and if there were penguins in the Arctic, the fossils were buried in the glacier or even in the soil under the glacier, and there is no way to verify it.

Penguins' living conditions can be met in Northern Europe and Canada, and penguins in Antarctica cannot migrate to such a far place because of geographical isolation, but why did the Arctic not evolve into a penguin species on its own, is it purely never, or did it ever be, but because of the polar bear, a natural enemy, it was eliminated, leaving only the great puffin, a more flexible creature.

Penguins are born at the two extremes of the Antarctic Earth, and they can't eat them if they want to.
