Listen To This Sperm Whale 'Scan' A Diver

November 12, 2024

In an awe-inspiring 4K underwater video, a diver shares the unforgettable moment a sperm whale glided close by, “scanning” him with a series of clicks.

These distinctive clicking sounds, while loud, are perfectly safe for humans. Scientists like Fais et al. (2016) have found that sperm whales use these clicks mainly for echolocation, helping them locate and track prey in the ocean's depths.

As the largest toothed predator on Earth, sperm whales are true ocean giants, growing up to 59 feet (18 meters) and weighing around 50 tons! These incredible creatures are expert hunters, often diving over 10,000 feet deep in pursuit of squid, sharks, and fish. Their dives can last over an hour, showcasing their impressive adaptability to the ocean's dark depths.

This close encounter is a rare, captivating reminder of the mysteries that lie beneath the waves.
