Heavy metals are contaminants that can build up in ringed seals.
They are the largest of the toothed whales, and are the "Monstro" of Pinocchio fame.
Sperm whales have the largest and most complex brain on earth, housed within the largest head, yet have a very narrow lower jaw. They have teeth (all the same shape )only on the underslung lower jaw which fit into sockets on their upper jaw.
Due to this fact, some scientists believe that sperm whale calves nurse through their blowholes!
The dark skin of the sperm whale is similer to that of a prune!
Unlike all other toothed whales, the sperm whale's blow hole is not in the middle but off to the left side. The blow is a noisy, single stream that rises up to 50 feet (15 m) above the surface of the water and points forward and to the left of the whale at a 45° angle.
Sperm whales prey mainly upon deep water (giant!) squid and fish.An adult Sperm Whale can eat about a ton of food each day.
When foraging, they surface for about 10 minutes, then fluking up before diving for about 40-minutes
Dives up to 2500m and possibly 3200m have been noted, as well as dives lasting as long as 138 min!
Sperm whales are often seen logging and are relatively easy to approach in this state.
