A Tribute to the Sperm Whale

[sideslide23]

Please don't kill all these whale because people fromt he 25th Century will need these whales to save the world from destruction.

[mrvishal1000]

dam, the blue so lucky i wish i was it, u can just show off ur size......

[PsychLion]

Love whales...hated the music. lol

[saulhudson420]

0:25 why did they kill the sperm whale? Do people eat them?

[SpavnOvHel]

@saulhudson420 That particular whale was stranded someplace in Taiwan, and while transported into Taipei for research, exploded.

[heartbabii14]

@saulhudson420 actually they use the bluber now of course its illegal so selling whale products is in the black market but also make products like lipstick were made with the oil from whale blubber

[TheJcp1234]

Sea Shepard masterbates to this.

[DarkSkurai]

Beautiful video man, i love the nature and all the living beings

But the paint on 1:43 is incoreect, the dorsan fin isn't like that

Someone already seen some video with a sperm walle eating an giant squid?

I need T_T ty guys :D

[Kingcobrasaurus]

@DarkSkurai

That's a different species, the rare High-Finned Sperm Whale. I know that normal sperm whales lack dorsal fins like that.

[PyrrhaGnome]

I love that I am finally able to see the rock and roll side of the sperm whale. They are pretty badass, it's true.

[arob006]

good video , bad description their name isn't inapropriate because the size of the head of a spem whale is 1/3 of it's body size and that is similar to the shape of a small sperm because the head of a small sperm size is 1/3 of it's body size and that is how it got it's name

[blackelk7373]

@arob006 wow dude stop

[whamfan87]

Thar she blows!

[JamesThWilliams]

You got a picture of Moby Dick in there, though I imagine he's not much more than 50-60 feet long.

[Dinoman217]

That one looks white!

[teletubbyownage]

sperm whale= FTW

[MrCrucialtaunt]

dude, this is the best thing i've ever fuckin seen!!

[arrivinglotus]

This is an awlful song

[roniman86]

Whats the biggest predator?

[PoisonIvyLeague]

Poor choice in music.

[DarkDracorex]

Why is it bad?

[Kingcobrasaurus]

Sorry, but most people really are stupid. Just take a look at the casual people and kids you see walking down the street. They probably wouldn't be able to recite all of the animal phylums, would they?

[roniman86]

just because we can't do that doesn't make stupid! We take biology in high school but only the scientists take it into college.

[DarkDracorex]

I think he means that almost no normal kid pursues any sort of special interest or shows any remarkable talent at a young age. And frankly I agree with him. All kids ever want to do is just watch TV, go on cell phone, facebook and listen to ipod. They don't have any talents. The boys might play sports and the girls might take track, but that's not really a talent. For example, none of the kids in my class are good at drawing.

[roniman86]

yeah, todays world reduces the talented ones but I am certain they still exist. I know really talented people out here in the middle of nowhere.

[wannabedesi]

Being able to recite all of the animal phylums isn't necessarily a sign of inborn intelligence either. In fact it could be a person who has the capacity to remember the phylums is extremely low on the social intelligence scale. 

[Kingcobrasaurus]

@wannabedesi I agree that knowledge doesn't equal intelligence. Still, you could argue that intelligence stirs the desire for knowledge.

I'm just frustrated that no other kid seems to have any special interest or talent. They just want to talk on their cell phones and listen to their ipods and watch American Idol.

[Kingcobrasaurus]

A civil person does not need to swear to sound intelligent. I don't see what's so hard about saying darn or heck or shoot or crud.

[Dinoman217]

@Kingcobrasaurus Their nose emits a high-pitched clang kind of noise. No one knows for sure what they use it for, but experts believe that they use it for bio sonar!

[jdq051808]

great...i love whales and i feel so sorry to those whales were killed by ruthless human being...whales are generous and too kind so why kill them?huh?

[helloween1987]

with due respect... why do Asian countries specially Japan... have to keep killing this type of whales and sharks for consumption??? They are in danger of extinction... I mean theres plenty of species in the ocean that are not in danger and can be consumed...pls reply

[whalelover1231]

amazing creatures! i swear if i ever see someone talking about whaling as agood thing or actually whaling... i will decapatate them with a miniature pen. or at least make them suffer...

[bull864]

@whalelover1231 me too. whales are awesome, and sperm whales being my favorite mammal, i would join you to mutilate anyone who fucked with my whales.

[whalelover1231]

really? i ADORE whales!! espessially(srry i cant spell) blue whales.

and im not a beliver in cuss words i belive that they are a strong thought being expressed by a weak mind but i agree with you 110%!

[Holmes855]

@whalelover1231 NERD

[whalelover1231]

@Holmes855

Yep thats me!!! :D :D :D :D :D

[susumu07]

colossal squid are WAY smaller in terms of mass than the whale. Lacking blubber, they need to be light to stay neutrally buoyant.

[suphedrine]

this is one of the worst songs ive ever heard, but somehow imagining it being the whales emotions makes the video as a whole awesome

[Kingcobrasaurus]

tis an alright song, but not the best. Nightwish is my new favorite band.

[PacificOrcas]

@suphedrine OMG! You don't like 3DG? You son't know what your missing...

[lordbolton]

it isn't an "inappropriate" name. it's called the sperm whale because of the spermaceti in its head which allows it to dive so deep and withstand such great pressures

[Kingcobrasaurus]

Yes, but the spermaceti was once thought to be the whale's semen.

[Scottdvz]

@lordbolton "Inappropriate" name. LMAO I can't believe someone actually said that. It's scary how ignorant people are. My father always told me to think before you speak.

[TheLilScarab]

@lordbolton I think thats awesome

[drsquanto]

@lordbolton spermaceti are called that because the goo that used to be harvested from them looks like ejaculate. haven't you read moby dick?

[drsquanto]

@lordbolton spermaceti are called that because the goo that used to be harvested from them looks like ejaculate. haven't you read moby dick?

[dcwcwcw]

@lordbolton actually why its called sperm whales because the microscopic unit ( sperm ) head is 1/3 of its body and thats just how sperm whales look like.

[mellomantra]

@lordbolton

True. However, the oil in the whales head oxidizes rapidly upon exposure to air. The appearance of the oxidized oil is where the name is derived from.

[luxenfux]

Current World Record in Freediving holder. App. 3200 feet.

[Snakehandler7]

Nah.. It is 3200 Meters.. thats 2 miles

[luxenfux]

How deep a sperm whale can dive is about 2500 meters - maybe. But no one really knows. Who knows what a sperm whale could do if it was really trying? We could both be right. I think the deepest recorded dive is 3200 feet.

[r0a0v0e0r0]

Whales Forever!!!!!!

[candymiss56]

well not really but it's sad

[candymiss56]

BOOO HOOOO poor whale.now i want to cry

[LarS1963]

Largest predator is the spermacet whale.

Up to eighty feet and 55 tonnes of weight.

Squids of a 180 feet lives only in old bestiariums and over-active imaginations. ;) Otherwise, provide a source, please.

[Donutttttttttt]

what is the largest predator on earht? i thot it was sperm whale

[Kingcobrasaurus]

It's the colossal squid, at 180 ft long.

[idlenessss]

yes...not only is it the largest known predator on earth, its the largest predator of known natural history. Speculation is always possible of course-no one really knows how big the colossal squids can get but none have ever been found that are anything near the size of a sperm whale. megalodon was smaller, the confirmed mosasaurs, lipleurodon etc were smaller. But actually the biggest predator is Cthulu, He just hasnt been discovered yet.

[luxenfux]

A blue whale eats krill,shrimp-like marine invertebrate animals...and its the largest creature ever to have existed.

[killermonk123]

please what is that song

[Kingcobrasaurus]

it is "running away" by 3 days grace.

[Mistystripe]

Is 0:25 the disturbing picture? If so, than how could it bother anyone exactly?

[Kingcobrasaurus]

there are some hippies who die if they see pics like that, and there are also people who are super sensitive to pics like that.

[Mistystripe]

I guess, but I really dont find it disturbing.

[seekq1]

it's not disturbing if you know how he got there...the whale got sunk on the beach and died...they had to move him away before 70 tons of fish flash decays : )

[tycoonfan1]

Is a female called a egg whale?

[Kingcobrasaurus]

LOL

ROFL

XD

What a joke

that would make any kindergarten teacher cry.

[dannybobsfourm]

once again ...AWESOME

[jonesieboy95]

aaaaaaaaaah!

[Kingcobrasaurus]

ummmm.......what?

[jonesieboy95]

sorry it scares me!lol jk
