The whale (sperm whale)

The sperm whale is a large marine mammal known for its massive, block-shaped head housing an organ called the spermaceti organ, which helps with echolocation and buoyancy. It boasts a robust body with a deep, narrow tail, and can reach up to 60 feet in length, making it one of the largest toothed predators. Sperm whales primarily feed on squid and fish, using advanced echolocation to hunt in deep, dark waters. They are highly social animals, living in groups called pods, and communicate through clicks and other vocalizations. These whales are found in oceans worldwide, often diving to great depths to hunt and socialize.
