Scientists saw a sperm whale giving birth. And then things got weird Sperm whales are known to socialize, but scientists were stunned when they saw a group of sperm whales gather as one of them gave birth

"But this kind of behavior had previously been “considered characteristic only of humans and their close relatives""

#SpermWhale

Sad to see a decomposing #SpermWhale on remote and stunning Killiecrankie Beach, #FlindersIsland. 5 sperm whales stranded on Flinders a yr ago and as with other areas of Tasmania, seems to be a stranding hotspot - local topography may exacerbate risk of #strandings.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1820, the #whaling ship #Essex was attacked & sunk by a #SpermWhale in the South Pacific. A crew of 20 escaped in boats. Three stayed in the Pitcairns, 17 continued farther to South America; only cannibalism kept five alive. The events inspired #MobyDick.

AI Studying Whale Songs Says It Thinks Whale Language Might Have Vowels Where linguists hear “vowels,” skeptics hear “clicks,” and whales hear… absolutely none of this nonsense.

Marine biologists are locked in what observers describe as “an academic slap fight” over whether sperm whales communicate using vowel-like patterns or whether researchers just need better microphones. Read more below...

Do those who celebrate.. Happy Exploding Whale Day

Exclusive: Sperm whale speech has human-like 'vowels' The mammals' mysterious clicks contain a stunning level of complexity, a new study shows.

Fascinating! Decoding #SpermWhale vowel sounds :)) #whales #Wildlife #Nature

In 1970 on #ThisDayInHistory, the #Oregon Dept. of Transportation did an incredibly stupid thing. A #SpermWhale had beached in Florence, and they blew up the carcass with dynamite. The #ExplodingWhale hurled massive hunks of whale ~240 metres, damaging cars and leaving a stench.

Hi! A really cool sperm whale floats in front of a giant orb. The orb is just a random backdrop to emphasize the whale. The whale has a smirk and looks maybe a little stoned. Cool dude at 100,000 lbs !

Day 9: Heavy
100,000 lbs of cool.

#iLoveIt! Thank you for sharing this footage; I could watch it all day.
Love it! 🥰

Please don't let this be a.i. generated. I really want to believe a sperm whale can eat a giant squid in this video. @noaa.gov #GiantSquid #SpermWhale #MarineLife
