■About sperm whales
Sperm whales are the largest species of whales. Larger than an adult male sperm whale (more than 16 meters) and weighing more than 40 tons, there is only the largest baleen whale on the planet.
Sperm whales actively prey on their prey. They specialize in large squid that live in the deep sea, but large bony fish and sharks are also targeted. They have the most powerful sonar of any animal, allowing them to search for prey in the dark, deep waters. They also have the ability to dive to depths of up to 1000 meters and stay on the ocean floor for surprisingly long periods of time (up to 2 hours), and these abilities are very useful for capturing prey.
Sperm whales are active in the deep sea, so they usually live thousands of meters below the seabed and are rarely seen along the coast, except in areas where deep ocean trenches or submarine valleys are close to the coast.
