Extremely rare scene: The planet's largest creature ... 'walks badly' in the middle of the ocean
The largest creature on the planet has led researchers and photographers to freeze after encountering an animal emitting a bright yellow liquid on the Australian coast.
When landscape photographer Ian Wiese was filming at Point Picquet, south of the city of Pert (Australia), the whale was spotted swimming along the Western Australia coast on its journey southward. The stream of waste of this whale was recorded by the team. "We noticed there were a few blue whales about 2 km from the coast and I waited there until it started to" behave " - the photographer shared.
These volunteers often observe to check the number and behavior of the whales. Speaking to the Daily Mail Australia, Mr Wiese said they had been given permission to use the drone to film the area around the whale.
"We've filmed it a few times, but it's amazing that I've never seen it turn bright yellow, which is interesting. I've never seen or heard of his waste. The whale is yellow. This proves that it has eaten something different, " said Wiese.
The image of the whale emitting yellow waste brings many surprises to observers, something that has never appeared.
The photographer said that the "dung" of the whale is often reddish pink because it is the color of the molluscs in the ocean and the yellow waste leaves a lot of streaks on the water. Mr Wiese said the animal must have eaten within the past 24 hours, which means the whale has found a "strange" source of food somewhere outside Perth, when it swims from Indonesia to Victoria and southern border of Australia.
"This is really important in studying the life of whales, we know very little about their behavior and this species is in serious danger of extinction. This image is sure to be shocking." for observers. " - Wiese excitedly shared.
The blue whale waste is food for some small fish and mollusks.
In an interview with the ABC channel, Curt Jenner of the Western Australia whale research center said that every time he goes to the toilet, blue whales can produce about 200 liters of "feces ". It is also an important nutrient of the marine habitat, and some small fish and molluscs will eat the waste. "It also creates an important algae for life in the ocean," Mr. Jenner added.
