We took a whale watching boat off of New Brunswick. I don't remember exactly which type of whale it was in the end that came up to us, but it was longer than the boat we were on, and there were more than 50 people in the boat. It did a thing the guide called Spy Hopping, where it just came straight up out of the water right beside the boat to get a good look at us. The guide of many years said that had only happened to her, maybe 3 or 4 times. True or not, it was a fabulous experience, and I had a good DSL with me, so we have pictures to enjoy for many years to come.

Hopefully those days are over but I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in Asia somebody gets caught doing it one day . In regards to the past practices of whaling there was a demand for the oils and blubber so profit taking took over. I am 69 years old and I witnesses 2 whales being cut up by a whaling company in the 60s. It was in Newfoundland at a village named Dildo. No joke,,, you can google it. There was a whaling factory there . We were driving through the village unaware that there was a whaling station there. We saw a whole bunch of men leaving their houses and walking down towards the dock with huge knives of various types, some about 6 ft long including the wooden handles. We didn't know what was going on so we pulled off the road to see what was happening. A ship was heading toward the dock towing 2 whales, one behind the other. Huge one in front and small one behind. They dragged the big one onto the dock with big winches and started cutting it up with those huge knives. It was like clockwork. They completely eviscerated that whale within half an hour. Every one of them had a particular job depending on the type of knife or flensing knife that they had. I particularly remember the guy who cut the brush-like seive out of the mouth with a sickle- type long handled knife. The smell was indescribable. We were horrified but couldn't look away. The efficiency of that crew was mesmerizing. We didn't stick around to watch the little one get cut up. I don't remember what species of whale they were but they had seives a couple of feet long lining the inside of the mouth. Black and white and looked like long hairy brushes. That factory had been there for decades and decades constantly cutting up whales. I can't imagine how many got dragged up onto that dock. It was the main industry for that area for a long, long time. I seem to remember that it got closed down in the mid to late 1960s. Probably an international ban or treaty or something. I do remember that there was a lot of uproar that the closing devastated the economics in that group of villages on that coast. That was just one little village. I cant even begin to imagine how many other whaling stations there were worldwide for centuries . How many whales got hunted and cut up has to be in the many tens of thousands . Maybe hundreds of thousands of the different species,,,, who knows?

Even as a small child I thought Sperm Whale's (despite the unfortunate name) were the coolest of all whales. Knowing how effortlessly cruel Orcas can be in their attack and torment of other whales, I'm happy to see that at least one type of whale can turn the tables on the orca. Aside from their immense power, I would think the Sperm Whale's ability to generate the loudest and most percussive sounds of any creature on Earth can also devastate predatory orca.

We're not really sure how they do it, because we've never seen it. The things have a bunch of advantages though. Sheer mass, speed, and above all sonar. They can see the squid long before the squid see them. Tough to imagine how something that is basically a missile with a mouth wins any fight at all, but they do. It's been speculated they use concentrated soundwaves to injure, disorient, or kill squid in the instants before they hit.

@@hosmerhomeboy I mean, you are acting like a giant squid is fast, that doesn't make much sense. Why would they be faster than a sperm whale who has much more muscle in relation to size. Small squids can be fast, but as things get larger they sacrifice their speed, same with a giant squid.

[@JunkBondTrader]

@@lukejposadas well just google it. Humboldt squid for example, though small are very, very fast. Squid in general are inherently fast creatures. They aren't that muscular. The giant squid is thought to be able to go up to 25mph, which is slighjtly faster than the known Sperm whale speed. It is thought sperm whale may coordinate hunting with each other at low depths, so they perhaps chase them into each other like orcas or dingos do. "things get slower as they get bigger", ok, right. And sperm whales are bigger than giant squid. But that also contradicts your theory that more muscle = more speed. In any case, OP makes perfect sense, you seem to have no clue what you're talking about.

[@lukejposadas]

@@JunkBondTrader obviously you don't understand mass, notice how I mentioned squids specifically? The way their tentacles are build don't allow for the same muscle ratios as they get larger. Whales are entirely different because they have a ton of muscle, even as they get larger. That is how killer whales are still fast at their weight.

One day, I waited for the Jacques Cousteau show to come on and this episode had Jacque coming out of the cabin of the Calypso with a steaming cup of Jo. He spoke something French "Well, it looks like another fine day on the Calypso, haven't spotted any Walrus yet this morning" then suddenly a crew member yells from atop of a crows nest and he pointed most dramatically towards a pod of whales and off went Jacque Cousteau in a rubber raft propelled by a motor to meet the pod... He exclaimed " We seen 5 Hump Back whales, I only see 4" and the cameraman swung the camera around and next to the small boat about a foot under the water was a whale with a huge eyeball staring back at him.

What did people do with them then? Did we somehow gain the ability to dive deeper through knowledge and/or usage of the organ? I had always heard whales were hunted commercially for their blubber which was rendered down to make the best quality lamp oil to be found at that time and as a lubricant, and Sperm Whales also have Ambergris, a highly valuable substance that was used in the making of the most costly perfumes although hunters took their blubber as well. The Japanese still hunt Whale.

[@amodernalchemist432]

@@The_DC_Kid well, who ever told you that the oil was made from their blubber was totally wrong. The "high quality" lamp oil was made from the oily substance found inside the melon. Blubber was used as meat by the Inuit of northern Canada, a good source of protein for the barren regions of the North. I'm from northern Manitoba, Canada and the Inuit still to this day eat whale blubber as one of their delicacies. They are the only ones allowed to hunt for whale since it kept their people alive for thousands of years with sustenance through the winter's of the frozen tundra. The melon, plays two massive roles, first being their main organ used for hunting or survival. It's literally an organic radar system that they use for echo location. It's also used to help them sink down to lower depths with ease by having the ability to change into a complete solid mass like a chunk of margarine. They can take cool water from the ocean and use it to solidify the oils, just like sticking liquid margarine into a fridge, which helps them sink to the bottom. Then they also have the ability to rush warmer water, from their body heat, over the melon which again turns the solid oils back to liquids which helps them get more buoyant and rise to the top with relative ease. Ambergris is actually solidified whale vomit which is worth lots of money, more than gold or diamonds by far. And yes, it is used to make perfumes and colognes.

One of my favorite novelists in college was Herman Melville, and his superb novel, “Moby Dick,” was a riveting masterpiece about the great white whale, which was a Sperm Whale. The novel is filled with so much symbolism, but the description of the whale hunts was very exciting to read.

[@CordeliaWagner]

I don't think that hunting a whale to murder him can make a good novel.

[@iamrocketray]

@@CordeliaWagner Although I agree, it's also a story of revenge, and putting man in his place. Don't forget that at the time Moby Dick was written, a whale was just thought of as another resource to be exploited no different than fishing for herring(except they were bigger of course) but at that time it must be remembered that the church was all powerful, and the church taught that god made all creatures for humans to kill and exploit. Very few cared about whales being killed!

You’re incorrect, sir. There have been many documented cases of transient/Biggs orcas attacking and killing Sperm whales. There have been zero reported cases of Sperm whales killing orcas. Orcas also don’t usually attack adult large whales. They go after the young and frail. Your video showed one orca against several Sperm whales. Orcas are also known to harass their prey without truly attacking them.

@@BEASTERS Orcas actively predate Sperm Whales, Sperm whales don't predate Orcas, which means that Orcas are higher in the food chain and in fact are the Apex Predator.

[@BlackWhirlwindSett]

I've always wondered if groups of bull sperm whales will ever get to a point that they focus on orca's. A bull sperm whales clicks can vibrate a human to death. They use it for hunting so when their close to surface they don't really use it when we study them. But those clicks being so loud would overload orca's sensory organs. Which may cause them to be immobilized, or scatterer from each other to avoid it. Orca's go after females with calves, because males are so huge and hangout in bachelor groups.

The sperm whale is not the deepest diving animal in the sea. As stated in this video, they go down to about 3800 feet, but the Great White goes down to between 3500 - 4,100 feet. Other sharks that dive into the deep are frilled sharks, Bluntnose Sixgill Sharks (go as low as 6500ft, if adults). and the scalloped hammerhead (a staggering 1,240 meters, or 4,068 feet).

Yeah, the whale that defeated the Essex I can believe was 85ft or close to that length the conditions of the sea were better then so it isn't impossible it was able to find the perfect conditions to grow to such a huge size. Makes you think how big were other rare giants at that time? Crocs and great whites can grow to massive size so it stands to reason it was possible you had truly massive ones out there at the time, rare but absolute giants.

I have never seen any clips of sperm whales even messing with orcas. But I _have_ seen a clip where a group of orcas were chasing a pod of sperm whales just because they wanted to feast on their calf who the sperm whales were trying hard to protect while trying to flee at the same time. So if a sperm whale can destroy an orca, then they seem pretty reluctant to even show it.
