Whales are a kind of marine life that we basically know, and some knowledge about whales is more interesting. For example, after a whale dies, their body may sink to the bottom, causing the phenomenon of whale drop; In addition, their bodies may explode on their own. This phenomenon has been observed in reality, and some TV programs have introduced and revealed it.
After whales die, their bodies may explode, which is caused by some gases in their bodies. Whales are bigger, and they eat a lot. When some of the organisms they eat decompose in their stomachs, they produce a lot of gases that may lead to explosions, such as methane, ammonia and so on, which are important gases leading to explosions. The more of these gases, the faster the whale may explode, and the greater the explosion may be. At the same time, in the process of slow decay of whales, the rate of decay of their tissues and organs is relatively fast, and the rate of protein decomposition is relatively fast, which will produce more gas, increase the pressure inside the whale's body, and accelerate the explosion.
In addition, there is another reason for the whale to explode after death. Because whales themselves live in deeper water. The pressure of the deep sea is relatively high, so whales must have enough air pressure in their bodies. When whales die, there is pressure in their bodies, which also accelerates their self-explosion. In short, all of the above reasons can lead to the explosion of whales after death. It should be noted that special attention should be paid when dissecting them after death, if inappropriate, it will cause an explosion, it is recommended that the incision should not be too large, so that the air inside can not be discharged.
