The animal of the day is the Sperm Whale. (Did you know: Sperm Whales are the deepest diving air breathing animal. They dive up to 3000 meters [9,800 ft] for 2 hours! They feed on Giant Squid, and the older sperm whales typically have lots of battle scars [called Squid Tattoos by Shannon K]. Also [will continue post after Shannon gives me more sperm whale facts]
Though these are related to dolphins [they’re the largest of the toothed whales which includes dolphins and killer whales], these guys are not cute and friendly. Sperm whales are known to have a bad disposition and will ram boats with their heads, and bat at boats with their tales. This was probably the inspiration for Moby Dick.)
Oh, and it’s called a sperm whale because it looks like a big sperm. Whale sperm, not human sperm. Whale sperm are huge.
