Want to know more wild facts? Check out our Wild to Know playlist: • Wild to Know
The sperm whale is the world’s largest toothed predator. It also has the biggest brain of any animal on earth. This mind has helped them outwit their natural predators, but what happened when sperm whales came up against humans?
With fascinating facts and footage of pod life, we explore how sperm whales learned to evade 19th-century whalers. It’s an incredible story of survival - yet now these marine giants are facing new threats.

I'm Norwegian, my grandfather and great grandfather were wailers. Wales was called fish back then. I spent much of my childhood at grandpa's watching wailing videos (VHS) aquired from museums around Vestfold. It's sad what they did to those magnificent animals, especially as in the later years of wailing (the 1950s) even the hunters themselves knew the Wales were almost gone. Norway has a strong hunting fishing culture, it was not in our nature to wipe out populations. However, with the whales, industry and greed took over. Norway still whales, but only a small quota of mink whale, sustainably harvested.

Remember that it took them years. While the whales are clearly intelligent, you shouldn't assume more than is necessary for this to work. They likely have no idea how sailboats work.

I quess that the fast spread of tactics implies that the whales used some form of structured language to pass the informations. They were not able to learn by observing the new behaviour and mimicking it. That had to be some stuctured message like "When those new things (ships) approach your pod, don't try the usual defensive 'wheel' tactics, but dismantle the pod and swim upwind individually. Otherwise you die."

Ship strikes seem like something they could learn to avoid on their own. Sound pollution less so since it's just omnipresent, and communication ranges are probably many times shorter than they once were even in low noise areas like point Nemo. The communication range issue is particularly insidious as it not only hurts the whales but hurts their ability to spread solutions to mitigate the problem, or any other problem, as well as to find other pods to communicate up close with. Sound pollution effectively reduces the intelligence of the whale population by jamming inter-pod communication and thus causing cultural isolation.

I read a book called "Dolphins, smarter than humans? From the 60's and they described how sperm whales actually didn't escape or run away when one member of the pod was being hunted, they stayed with him, so whalers and scientists used to believe they were really dumb. In that way whalers could hunt hundreds of thousand of them because as they were not running away and instead stayed with the ones were hunting was really easy to kill them. I think this description is from the 20th century when technology allowed whalers to have no mercy with them as is shown in the video. Many years after they discovered that actually sperm whales were really altruistic with each other, not fighting back because they weren't able before the new whaling technichs but staying supporting the suffering of the other members of the pod that were being slaughtered. F...ing sad.

The sperm whale has the dubious honor of being the most hunted whale of all times. After in the 19'th century, the stocks became so depleted that just catching them would send a crew out for months on end, the focus was shifted to the Grey Whale. Which back then was plentiful, but was a species which didn't go down without a good fight. They would actually attack the harpoon boats, leading to the "Devil Fish" moniker. But after the invention of modern day whaling with steam powered boats and explosive harpoons, wiped out 80% of all the baleen species in the 1920s, the harpoons were aimed at the Sperm whale, if only to keep the industry going. Again after the second world war, when the Finback and Blue whale species became less of a viable option, the cannons were once again aimed at the Sperm whale. This is also why in old Greenpeace clips, the whales you see are sperm whales, as they always have been a valuable commodity.

The problem is not making a living, the problem is that they're not just calves or chickens to grow in a farm, they're incredibly important for the ecosystem and for buffering climate change. And we didn't just make a living off of it, we drove them and every other possible mammal to the brink of extinction. It's people like you that need to understand the value of everything, and that we can't just take and take and not look back, we have to create methods of conservation, and allow them to repopulate and thrive at least for some time.
