Hi everybody, and welcome to the first episode of WHALEZONE.TV | Sounds of the Ocean series. Today we will dive into Sperm Whale "coda" and we will witness a very special moment: a newborn Sperm Whale starts exploring the world surrounded by its family! This neonate was probably less than two weeks old as indicated by the evident fetal folds on its flank and the lack of rigidity of its tail flukes. Watch carefully and you will even see the umbilical cord still hanging from its belly! Listen, watch, feel.

What Finn said. Marine biologists have to be extremely careful when dealing with these guys, as the clicks can cause actual heat to build up from the intensity of the clicks. That and hearing loss.

@ashergs1237 3 жыл бұрын

E Man a marine biologist put out his hand out to stop a sperm whale from bumping him while it swam by. Half of his arm was paralyzed for 4 hours from the insane vibration of the sound that close. Most of the reason these guys don’t get literally vibrated to death easily is that the whales take a lot of interest in the divers and are “gentle” with them both physically and with there sound.

A friend of mine once went diving to investigate a problem his employer was having with a pipe. While following the pipe, they stumbled on a pod of sperm whales that were doing this same thing; greeting their newborn baby. The whales slowly got closer to the divers and, basically invited them into their pod. One even tried to share a squid it had killed, laying it on the ground next to them. My friend took a piece of it back home with him. The baby quickly started investigating and playing with them. Mom had to step in when they started getting rowdy. The divers eventually ran out of air. The baby continued to play with them while they detoxed (waiting near the surface of the water for about 15 minutes, to allow their body to remove the nitrogen that built up in their blood.) They changed their tanks and got right back in, playing with them all the way back down. This happened for about 3 hours a day, the next 5 days. All happening while searching and fixing the pipe. To this day, they spend a bit of time together when the pod is in the area. It's even believed that the whales have warded off a few shark attacks. They have returned those favors whenever possible; cutting fishing line off the whales.

@Thiere Gamer The sound can definitely injure you, if you're not careful. If you were to be in the water when they're talking at normal volume, you will be able to feel your body warming up from the sound hitting you. However, sperm whales are intelligent enough to realize that they're causing it. They will quiet down if they know humans are in the water, if they've experienced humans before.

@@raedkhashashneh5781 This belief isn’t based on facts or science but on one single video and the experience of one author/journalist and his supposedly numb hand/arm. People are treating his assumption as factual and established science when it most certainly isn’t. Now people are talking as if sperm whales have sonic rifles on the tip of their noses that can kill instantly. It’s utterly ridiculous. Although it is quite possible that it does use its echolocation to attack or stun prey, it hasn’t been proven yet. The author’s name is James Nestor.
