Hello world, how are
you?
Today is Tuesday so
that means it is creature day, today's creature is somewhat bigger
then last weeks.
Today we have the Sperm
Whale which at 18m or 59ft is somewhat bigger then the Kangaroo Rat.
They also of course have bloody big teeth around 20cm's or 8in long
and they can weigh as much as a kilo or 2.21lb each which are housed
in it's bloody huge head along with the biggest brain of any
creature.
This whale can hold its
breath for up to 90 minutes and can dive more than 3200 metres or
10,500, ft, wow, males are 3x heavier then females.
Back in 1820 when
hunting whales was com/mon a whaling ship the Essex was rammed by a
sperm whale in the Pacific Ocean. The ship sank and the crew drifting
in small boats resorted to eating each other, only 8 of the 21 on
board survived.
They love to
eat squid, octopus and cuttlefish including the giant squid.
Sperm Whales
can recognise each others voice and have a lifespan of 60-70 yrs when
they die they have a tendency to explode.

Amazing creatures we have under the sea or in the sea.
