  • MOBY DICK WAS A SPERM WHALE!!

  • Centuries ago they were called 'spermacetti' - meaning sperm Whale, because it was thought - wrongly - that the white waxy substance secreted in their heads was seed for reproduction or at least similar to it (sperm means 'seed'). It was incredibly valuable for candles, cosmetics, oils, pharmaceuticals etc, because of it's colourless, odourless and pure properties. Don't know what purpose it actually does serve.

  • @Hammersley1967 ok random and thank you i love learning facts :)

  • @gizmo664100

    I just provide the HARD FACTS!!!

    It may not be pretty, but the FACTS ARE THE FACTS!!!

  • why are they called sperm whales?

  • @bluedragon636: The material in their head was used for oils and stuff and was called "Spermecitti" or something like that due to the material looking like regular sperm.

  • @bluedragon636 one day at my school we had to bring news,, and i had to say "They Tried to keep the Sperm Whales Wet"

  • @bluedragon636 maybe they are the only whales that produce sperms

  • @bluedragon636 thay have oli in there noses called spermaceti oil and thay thought it was its jizz

  • @bluedragon636 They produce massive amounts of sperm

  • @bluedragon636 because they have a "sperm" like substance in their head. And when they where discovered by the normans they thought it was sperm.

  • @bluedragon636 Because their body shape looks like a sperm

  • @ThirstforKnowledgexD no i searched it in wiki they are named sperm whales because they have sperm in their head

  • @bluedragon636 probably because they are white-ish

  • @bluedragon636 They ejaculate a lot apparently for cleansing reasons.. That's why the waters salty. xD

  • @bluedragon636 because of the thick white substance in their heads. lol.

  • @bluedragon636 because the spermaceti for which they were hunted for was at first thought to be their sperm. 

  • @bluedragon636 cause they have a white sticky fluid on their heads which looks and feels like sperm

  • @bluedragon636 Because they have an organ called the spermaceti inside their head. The spermaceti is a kind of wax that the whale uses for some purposes.

  • @bluedragon636 Because of the spermacetti organ, a cavity holding oil which is said to either aid in bouyancy or communication

  • @bluedragon636 just google it, for goodness sakes.

  • @bluedragon636 It's because they have a fluid in their head called spermicitus (or something like that) that looks a lot like sperm, so when fishermen used to kill them, this fluid would pour out of their heads and it looked a lot like sperm.

  • @bluedragon636 The name sperm whale is an apocopation of spermaceti whale. Spermaceti, originally mistaken for the whales' "sperm", is the semi-liquid, waxy substance found in the spermaceti organ or case in front of and above the skull bone and also in the junk, the area below the spermaceti organ and just above the upper jaw.The case consists of a soft white, waxy substance saturated with spermaceti oil.

  • @bluedragon636 sperm is short for spermiceti, a waxy material in it's head that gives it buoyancy. :)

  • @bluedragon636 "The name comes from the milky-white waxy substance, spermaceti, found in the head. Spermaceti (from Greek sperma, seed, and Latin cetus, whale). Whale hunters called it erroneously that way.

    The substance was used in making candles (which did not smoke!) ..The whale itsself might be used as a means of altering the whale's buoyancy, since the density alters with its phase."

  • @bluedragon636

    Because of the oil they have in their body. Its a "sperm" oil, used for lambs.

  • @bluedragon636 they masturbating HAHA Fail

  • @bluedragon636 Spermaceti (from Greek sperma, seed, and Latin cetus - whale) is a wax present in the head cavities of the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus). Spermaceti is extracted from sperm oil by crystallisation at 6 °C, when treated by pressure and a chemical solution of caustic alkali. Spermaceti forms brilliant white crystals that are hard but oily to the touch, and are devoid of taste or smell, making it very useful as an ingredient in cosmetics, leatherworking, and lubricants.

  • @bluedragon636 let's just say the egg = 10,000 ft under water

    and those sperms get to the egg no matter what... so ya i hope it explains

  • @bluedragon636 i think its because they have some milky stuff on their backs

  • Imagine the experience of living as a whale

  • why are they called Sperm whales? thats the most terrible name u can ever give an animal, who came up with it and how the hell did it get accepted?

  • @phreddy87 "Much of the bulk of a sperm whale's enormous head is taken up by a barrel-shaped organ called the case. Inside the case is a clear, liquid oil that when cooled, hardens to resemble white paraffin.Because whalers thought this stuff looked like whale sperm, they called it spermaceti and named the animal a sperm whale." Thats why :)

  • @setheries ya ok but still, they couldve picked a name with a better "ring" to it if u know what i mean, sperm whale just sounds kinda nasty

  • @phreddy87 Well I'm guessing that the whalers of that time period weren't exactly sophisticated so they just chose the first thing that popped into their head. But yeah, pretty nasty.

  • that whale would make a good oil lamp

  • you know all this stuff about never being able to catch a giant squid on camera could have been solved by attaching a camera onto a sperm whale

  • The funny thing of this sperm whale is that it can grab your leg and drag you way down into the deep where no light ever comes, causing your ears to pop and your lungs imploding. Sperm whales simply don´t give a shit.
