Wild Life: Sperm Whale

Sperm whales have a bright, waxy oil called spermaceti in their heads. This allows them to dive to depths of up to 3,000 meters and stay underwater for up to two hours. The sperm whale has a huge rectangular head that is one-third of its body length.
The sperm whale sets several records. It is the largest toothed whale and has the largest mouth of all whales. It could even swallow a human whole. However, it is not dangerous to humans because it only targets squid. It eats around 1.5 tons of squid a day. Its brain weighs 9.5 kg, making it the heaviest of all mammals. It navigates through the seas with the help of its sonar. Underwater, you can hear it whistling, squeaking and groaning for several kilometers.
