They are asleep but their tales keep them from sinking crazy huh

I think it's the fact that they are upright that's so disconcerting lol

@@bigflockajon i wonder if they are just like dolphines when sleeping, half asleep, half awake

I think the group stays shallow so that the calves can soup for air more frequently. The calves are definitely more restless.

@NateEh well i think he is more educated then you. Sperm whales are the loudest animals in the entire world. Their clicks they use are sound waves which in water are literal waves. They can click so loud and often that they use it to confuse their prey and it is theorized they could even kill a human this way. He did not say the diver died, he said ( as a joke, so not on,y are you uneducated but also have no humor ) it as a joke. Sperm whales could click loud snd kill you, so a snoring/ sleep clicking sperm whale could as well. Next time you want to be the smart guy, make sure you actually are.

Can you guys shut up, it’s a funny thing he said bro just leave it at that. Y’all grown as hell arguing for no reason bro

@NateEh You're not funny.

@NateEh go away troll

@NateEh You're being hypocritical. And a little dense, too. "Humor is opinion based". No doy, Sherlock, that's why I said what I said.

Where do you think the scifi writers get their ideas? They depend on the uneducated and naive to sell their books and movies.

The ocean practically is another world. I wonder if this is what life is like on Europa?

It looks like something from Death Stranding

It might aswell be. The ocean is so diferent from our daily lives that considering it another world would not be farfetch'd

The words I was LITERALLY about to type.

Why terrifying?

Giant animal with many 20 cm teeth

For me it’s not the whales that are terrifying it’s the depths of the ocean,the blue abyss

Oh I wouldn’t be afraid of those teeth, though. AFAIK no sperm whale has ever hurt a human with its teeth. I’d be more worried about a stroke with their tail or a VERY loud ping with their sonar, both of which they use to fend off orcas’ attacks Bottom line: I’d be happy and delighted to swim among those bobbing giants, as they are gentle

Sea monsters tales

If your therapist doesn't even know about the vertical whales then you gotta get a new one bro

@@evan8771 vertical whales intensified*

They can't really hurt you tho unless you've made a grave mistake

@@MarsLonsen what if I made a grave mistake on my math exam? Would I be in danger from these whales?

But fr just imagine

Is that a challenge?

we dont move vertically

Actually they move vertically too, Sperm whales are known to be some of the best deep divers, often diving to a depth of thousands of meters in the pitch black ocean in order to catch their favorite food - the giant squids. Think about it, they need to breathe air through their lungs just like us humans, but they have evolved to a degree that they can hold their breath for hours at a time, can withstand extreme levels of water pressure and can use their sonar positioning ability (by clicking) to locate their prey in that darkness, what an animal...

We move horizontally but with our bodies in a vertical position. You can't really compare the two like you tried because they can move in all directions at any time. We cannot do that naturally.

It's just a fun observation, you're overthinking it.

Agree

Rt!!

Now that's a profile pic

True true.

Your pfp is terrifying

Says the whale of the cameraman

Captain Ahab: it’s free real estate

i think they might do the same thing as dolphins and let one half of their brain sleep while the other manages breathing and boyancy so they dont drown. This could be totally wrong but its just a guess.

yeah just like we are.. sometimes we moves while sleeping

@@NtxRan You are constantly moving your legs, and flailing your arms about as you rest. Okay. This is according to your comparison.

Just like bats holding onto branches while they sleep which happens involuntarily.

So I did some light reading and it seems that the sperm whale naps in intervals of 10-15 minutes. And they estimated that sleeping only takes up 7% of their day. As opposed to hump back whales, which sleep at the surface for 30 minute intervals.

Humans are actually the outliers when it comes to sleep. Our overgrown brains need a lot of rest, and while there are animals that can sleep for much longer, they don't *need* to. Unlike us. Dolphins don't truly sleep at all, but that doesn't really count since they're always partially asleep

Sleeping on the surface would make them easy prey for Sharks, Killer Whales, Whalers ect.

@Dieter Gaudlitz why is that?

I had to take a deep breath after reading this comment

Lol

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@NaiaEnterprises1 amazing

Same, I’ve never seen whales sleeping before

Humorous comment, we sleep lying down but we are active vertically, they are active horizontally could stand to reason why LOL

@@timhall5220 Point. Exclamation! 🏌️‍♀️😄

I never imagined that whales sleep

Like whoa 🤯

the gravity would've acted more on them if they were horizontal, so they don't sink much while being horizontal (I think, I might be wrong)

In their _pods_ huh? _budun chh!_ Haha! I'll go now.

Which one Arrival ???

Funny thing is, marine mammals are least alien to Homo Sapiens among all sea living creatures ;)

@@pavel9652 well duh cuz they mammals

True

They always do wake up eventually (when we are viewing them) since their sleep cycles are short. It's typically a slow-motion event, when one or two begin shifting their body angle or gently swim to the surface seemingly to invite the others to join them as they swim away. If they are startled by intrusion (for instance by pilot whales) they will bunch closer together as they depart. If they are simply relocating the group's members move at their own pace and in a very loose group.

@@NaiaEnterprises1 but can't a sperm whale just eat n attack you as they're carnivores.

@@simohayha6031 They have a specific diet and we aren't on the menu. They eat mostly giant squid.

@@NaiaEnterprises1 do they have any predators? Why do pilot whales swim so deep?

@@heimlichheilworthgrapo7286 Yes, orcas for sure. Maybe white sharks. Pilots whales dive in part to feed on the same food source as the sperm whales. They love those giant squid!

The titans are slumbering....

@DekuMidOnly ...no.

*a m e n o*

I agree with you.

Fierce nature?

@@monkeymilk8060 for the squids, fishes and other males: yes, very fierce!.

How in the world do you associate fierce nature with a whale?

@@tesoulx I don't think you know what fierce means. Fierce means aggressive. Sperm whales are not aggressive. They have a very calm nature, even when they're after food.

Ha!

You probably forgot to put them under water, didnt you?

Knowing that sperm whales are the loudest animals on the planet makes the comment even more funnier

@@SuperFloraLP you just gave me an amazing idea...

They could be you just have to put them in the ocean

i don't even have thalassophobia, i love the deep sea, but something about images of whales sleeping like that feels really unsettling in some way

@@Jukajobs yeah, same. Very weird

Transphobia is what i saw

@@Jukajobs i think its because of the empytness in the sea and the whales slepping like this don t help (sorry my english)

Per cetologists, sperm whales (being deep sleepers) only need _about_ an hour and a half of sleep per day, and they can hold their breath for that long.

@@hlcepeda that's crazy, some huge lungs

@@AndrewLomax80 There is more just the lungs. Their blood vessels are more capable of storing oxygen as well as other tissues. AFAIR they store oxygen in muscles, so they can top up oxygen and go diving for over 1h.

God would have consider that, when creating them - evolution proven!

@@pavel9652 it’s also their massive spleens that basically act as a big sack of oxygenated blood

@@tesoulx sound travels faster in water

Sperm whales are the loudest creature on the planet ...they can burst your eardrums

@MacKenzie DONALD Bruh. Breathing is the process of taking air into and expelling it from the lungs. They are not performing that *Process* at that time. Process as in a *series of actions or steps* taken in order to achieve a particular end. *Doing Part of a process does not equate to doing a process.* Hold your breath and only exhale... and lets see how long you will live..... without BREATHING.

@MacKenzie DONALD I am human, i paid attention during my school years, and know the entire process of breathing. Instead of trying to understand a person's world location, maybe you should take up a higher learning Biology class ?

@MacKenzie DONALD Oh, now you getting verbally hostile?!?! You also need another semester of *Reading Comprehension* ! You seem to be the type of person that needs a chalk board and a pack of crayons to make easy concepts understandable ! 🤭 Let me break it down to you in lame-man terms... exhale is PART of the breathing. You still need the other part which is INHALING. Put them together and BAM ! Breathing is in process ! LIKE I SAID... hold your breath and ONLY exhale like those whales are doing until you pass out. Then when someone revives your crazy butt, tell me what step of breathing you were not doing ! 😁

@MacKenzie DONALD what do they inhale? Water?

You should try it sometime it’s pretty awesome cuz when you wake up you’re already upright

I've come to the same conclusion after spending time in the water with other whales. The are all wondrous and beautiful, however sperm whales are my favorite.

@@NaiaEnterprises1 wow,i can't imagine how breathtaking they must be up close in their natural habitat. See,I'm from a tiny little state way up in the north-east region in India called Mizoram.

@@Heretic1408 Thank you for sharing your perspective and story! It makes what I'm doing all the more fulfilling, in that I'm able to share a view of the ocean and its inhabitants in this way.

I wish I could convey how peaceful the experience was... to watch them slumber. I understand though how strange this must look...

sperm whales actually fully sleep unlike dolphins! usually for short periods of time though.

@@20ZZ20 Like me in the bath :)

Dolphins sleep like any other mammal; they are light sleepers though.

We do keep still while quietly floating on the surface, and they peacefully do their own thing in their own timing and rhythm.

Dark

Yes. We are peaceful in our observation and they simply rest until they feel the internal urge to move.

@@NaiaEnterprises1 Did you ever happen to wake them up (by accident)?

@@renerpho that's a really good question.

This is an excellent description. It was indeed an otherworldly sight and experience.

Yes they are!

me too!

Since we have a sign of a previous universe (?) before the big bang, it could very well be (or not, we just don't know) that there will be an endless amount of universes after this one for you to experience. So in that sense, if life exists again in next universes, you may actually experience life on other planets after this life. Maybe after death the 'you' is dispersed? Even if that turns out to be true, give it enough cycles and 'you' are likely to be formed again in some way.
