Sperm Whales - Titans of the Deep | Free Documentary Nature

[@FreeDocumentaryNature]

Looking for a #calmyourmind respite? We got it. A #calm your mind moment about Sperm Whales and what you can learn about sperm whales before watching our doc: ~ 60 millions years ago some land creatures decided to move into the sea. These were the precursors to whales. ( I’m sure there’s a more scientific way of phrasing that but you get my gist..) ~ This whale type has the largest brain of any living creatures on our planet. That’s pretty amazing when you think of it. It means they are super smart. Probably smarter than a lot of voters out there. Let whales vote 🗳 ~ 2/3 of its life is spent in the deepest ocean waters ~ Depths that mean pitch black waters, cold temperatures, and water pressure that would crush a diver ~ Sperm Whales communicate through clicking sounds which travel over 10 km or 6 miles ~ unfortunately, The Japanese “research” ships are a sham. They continue to slaughter these gentle giants for no reason other than selling expensive sushi. Even though they’re an endangered species, the Japanese get around the slaughtering ban by registering as research ships. It’s a sham, a scam, and a con. ~ if you love whales, and sea creatures in general, do some research and support conservation groups and organizations that protect these magnificent creatures. Green Peace, WWF, and many more. Again, I can only advise to do your research but the two I’ve named are reputable. In the meanwhile, enjoy this languid look at these gentle giant graceful dancers of the dark depths of our oceans.

@Free Documentary - Nature: I understand that you place the commercials in a video to monetize the video and make money. But when commercials begin & they interrupt someone speaking, specifically in mid-word/mid-sentence, that's proof that you placed the commercials quite poorly into the video. You should place the commercials into a video where it will not interrupt someone speaking, whether it is someone commenting, doing a formal interview, the narrator, etc. For cryin' out loud, do a better job!

The Sperm whale could perhaps also use his echo for another reason than locating the prey. In another documentary free-divers tell about the enormous impact the whale echo has on their body. It felt like being in a microwave oven, every cell vibrated and became hot. The whale might use this echo to stun his prey and make him numb or disoriented before the actual kill.

[@PsychologicalApparition]

Yeah, I may have seen that one? I recall the sperm whales just naturally being drawn to them as they got into the water. The whales were “thumping” the researchers and reading them via sonar. Well, one of the researchers says he regretfully put out his arm, for it became paralyzed the moment it was thumped. They could potentially kill us humans by sonar. It’s like a mutant superpower, 😅

There were so many fish they were literally popping the oars out of the water. Now there are no fish in the river. The bed has been trawled and the river floor as like most of the ocean is a desert.

What kind of thoughts they may have when they are recklessly dragged and shot? It's too sad to even think about. When something like this happens to humans we can raise our voices and fight back. But what about those animals? They can't speak and with the latest technology being used again them it's just another level of cruelty.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

Most of the beaching is caused by pollution and sonar, there was a case a few years ago where an orca (one of only 20 left living in the UK) beached, and there was so many toxic chemicals in her bloodstream that her brain wasn’t working properly and she stranded. It also confirmed a long lasting suspicion among scientists; they were so ill from this pollution that they had been rendered infertile, explaining why even after 20 years scientists have never seen a single calf among this last pod.

This might sound silly but I wonder if they have looked for a CTE type injuries to some of these whales that have beached themselves. They are so sensitive to the environment that its not beyond reason to suspect that constant exposure to seismic survey blasts of any kind, military sonar technology and other acoustic discharges have caused some brain degeneration, inflammation and a high level of irritation. Some of these whales displayed symptoms of cte . Also as a note the "Havana syndrome" diplomats in Cuba were hit by a sonic attack.

They are also happy to report the huge discovery that the whales are doing the same thing they have been doing for the past thousands of years .

@@dewalt4594 that's good to hear! Can you link part 2?

[@dewalt4594]

@@1fty You don't need to watch it. I just told you everything they said basically in a couple sentences. Plus you don't have to be a genius to figure part 2 out or part 3 or part 4 and so on an so on. The whales do the same thing they have been doing for thousands of years now.

Great documentary 👍🏾

Sperm Whales - Titans of the Deep" brilliantly reveals the grandeur and mystery of sperm whales. The documentary’s stunning visuals and insightful narration capture their complex social behavior and deep-sea adaptations. It’s a powerful reminder of the need to protect these magnificent creatures and their ocean habitat

[@BoydXplorer]

Beautiful documentary about sperm whale. Interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing.

This to me is more for "ENTERTAINMENT", rather than 'Science". ....and ,YES! It is very entertaining. Thank you. 😁👍

[@rockyevans1584]

I don't think anyone said it was science, but I haven't finished it yet. It's on KZbin, by definition it's entertainment LMAO

[@keelyevans7692]

I'm really glad that that you're using the products you are doing testing on that makes sense. As long as we maintain the Integrity of the whole herd since we can't keep them in fish tanks as we know they die and we can't study them properly when we try to confine them

[@demosxn6722]

We really need to step back on how much we are extracting from our oceans.

I enjoy these so much I have started my granddaughter on these too..

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

I wonder if the military sonar makes the whale think he's in a cave and that's why it heads for the surface. It would be scary to be blind and underwater in a cave. Echolocation can work for you but it can also work against you.

[@JohnnyBeast66]

Very well done, thank you!

[@GeekRex]

Why would we be surprised that the different populations of the whales use different dialects of clicks? Humans are the same species and have a huge number of dialects.

[@Mantisisland]

I know the new-style, amazing videography-first, BBC with soothing David Attenborough school of nature documentaries are all the rage. But to me, these old school, heavy science nature docs are GOAT! I learned more real marine science from actual scientists in 15 minutes of this documentary than the entire Blue Planet series.

[@rmzmhd6690]

Thanks for this documentary... to be honest i had no knowledge about sperm whales life style or hunting style or how they communicating... this is help a lot... keep up the good work 👍

[@niklastorshagen6365]

It's incredible to me how those jaws looks so useless, but apparently are very effective

[@psychiatry-is-eugenics]

6:00 - no full grown whales were left . Wonder how much knowledge was lost

[@Tknononesense]

That's what I'm saying

[@scubasteve7303]

Exactly. 60 million years whales have been doing fine. A few hundred years ago humans start killing them to the point we change their evolution. How sick.

[@DKTeddyBear]

And yet, they might evolve to take us over, thats cool though

One day a group of mammals had enough of the dry land and decided to go into the water, logical explanation... i'm thinking of doing something similar.

Those animations are amazing. So cool to see how they hunt.

[@qualcunoacaso6733]

They’re so beautiful ❤️ we must protect them at all costs

[@459luker]

it makes me sick that people were more than happy to slaughter these animals to the point of near extinction (using barbaric methods by the way), then when the adults were running out they started slaughtering the youngsters. Honestly how can so many people be so f**king greedy and cruel? Its so disturbing to think that so many of us are severely lacking in empathy and care for our fellow beings.

[@dororo2597]

Greedy

[@snehalwasnik8914]

I want to thank everyone you puts the effort and made a masterpiece documentary on sperm whale 🐋 👏 its sad to see these beautiful creatures are still being killed in the name of scientific research. But there's always a hope, one day humans will realise how drastically they have damaged every other living being on this planet n then there will be a peace and respect. Thanks you again.

[@ez2733]

Detector attached by suction cups?! That’s some strong cups! Mine at home often fall off.

[@theobserver9131]

They probably have tiny vacuum pumps to maintain the suction. When they want the device to release, a valve opens up to let go of the whale.

[@elizabethmikulski]

I’m really curious to see if Sperm whales might actually be killing their prey with their sonar. If they could possibly kill a human with regular clicks, imagine what that would do to a squid at such depths where the clicks would be in way denser water. I fully think that the squid would be not only fried and killed by the sonar, but would also be partially cooked. On another thought that is related, but probably just correlation not causation, once humans started to cook their food, ie meat, our brains developed at such a fast rate that not only did our brains grow in size and complexity, but our social structures changed to match out smarter brains. We started to think about the future, about the weather and how that not only effects the present hunting, but also future hunts, which was , I think, was a major motivator for why humans started to farm and keep animals for future food supplies. The Sperm whale brain is six times the size of a humans, with some major likenesses to our own, in that they can create and keep such complex relationships and plan their hunts to optimize not only their cost to benefit ratio of how much energy they use to hunt but also to how much they need to eat to maintain their massive need for food. With the introduction of major machinery into the oceans, the whales have to struggle greatly with maintaining their basic everyday lives. Not only do they have to deal with the constant bombardment of sonar and background noise from shipping lanes and drilling operations, they also have to deal with the fact that they have to sort out that noise and make intelligent choices on how they need to change their ancestral routs to breeding and birthing grounds. I will probably keep going on and on with this, so I’ll leave this here.

[@glassycreek1991]

That would mean that humans are not the only species that cooks.

Truly a great video on spermicide whales . Are human”s oceanic activities affecting the sperm whales?. Absolutely yes, especially the Japanese disguised whaling and the sonar waves.

[@yourdaddy6030]

No, not spermicide whales. Sperm whales because they have a spermaceti organ.

[@theobserver9131]

Spermicide whales? Have you heard about proof reading?

[@mtnslyr]

This is documentary about how scientists are researching sperm whales, it’s not about the whale.

[@spockskynet]

A lot of documentaries do that. It's very annoying.

[@marcelinauy9037]

Thanks for the info!

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

I noticed that. Very little about the actual whale - physiology, size, habits, hunting methods, diet, etc. Sperm whales are somewhat obscure and I've been interested in them. Instead we get lots and lots of footage of researchers, the history of the whaling industry, methods of oil exploration, etc.

[@billreal76]

Thanks for the documentary. It was very interesting!

[@naturevibe5720]

Thank you for this documantory

[@Bikewithlove]

26:38 - Those rapid clicks aren’t just giving the whale higher resolution of the squid - they’re killing it. The whale’s clicks are its hunting weapon. If a sperm whale wanted to kill a human diver, it certainly could.

[@tylerstanley8611]

They use clicks like we use words. The fact that they are so loud is simply a byproduct of communicating far away.

[@tylerstanley8611]

Can the sound damage other animals? Sure but thats not why it evolved. Its just a coincidence.
