The ocean covers more than half of the surface of the planet and is a home for an incredible number of living organisms, including wagons. Scientists have been trying for years to explain the behavior of these animals, including their attacks on boats in the Gibraltar Strait and hunting for large white sharks. Now, scientists first photographed how adult wars are taught to hunt, writes Live Science.

In a new study, scientists photographed a lesson of adult braids who teach cubs hunting seals off the coast of Antarctica. In the video, scientists managed to capture the moment when adults carefully teach their cubs hunting, demonstrating how to push seals from ice before making the cubs try to hunt on their own.

During the study, scientists watched a group of seven braids, four adult individuals and three cubs who circle around the seal in a tiny piece of ice in the Gulf of Margerites in the west of Antarctica. Scientists watched the lesson that lasted more than an hour.

According to the co -author of the study, the biologist in the whales and the scientific consultant of the show Lee Hikvott, the biggest surprise for them with the team was how carefully and measured the females kept the seal in the pen of an ice of ice, without causing him fatal injuries so that he could get out again.

This allowed the female braids to show the codes several different approaches how to teach access to production. It is curious that the females showed several options for hunting for one session at once. The methods of hunting that they taught the cubs turned on “washing in waves, overturning ice, blowing bubbles to wash the seal from the ice of ice, and holding the seal by the rear fins so as not to hurt your teeth”.

The footage shows how females of wanders are shown to the codes how to steal the seal from the ice by the tail, and the cubs are observed and study. This allows the seal to escape, and after it jumps onto the ice again, the cubs in turn work out this technique. Simple words. Whales hones their skills over and over again.

Note that the wanders are highly intellectual predators. These whales are social, live in flocks and hunt flocks. They belong to those few species that, as you know, actively teach their cubs various skills, which can lead to the emergence of innovative new forms of behavior.

Researchers note that the wanders that scientists managed to recall are known as Kilkati type B1.

They are known for their hunting technique "

Scientists also recorded screams of killer whales during hunting: scientists believe that whales are looking for prey with the help of sounds, coordinate hunting and share prey. Hikworm notes that the training sequence emphasizes the cultural transmission of knowledge between the braids and shows their ability to solve complex problems through teamwork.
