Researchers studying sperm whales at sea got a real surprise when these resting whales let them approach much closer than usual. The head-up posture of some of the whales, including those most closely approached, corresponds precisely with the stereotypical resting behaviour recorded by high-resolution archival tags deployed using suction cups on 59 sperm whales around the world. Miller et al., Current Biology 18(1), R21-R23.

Why is she scared? Far as I know cetaceans are only dangerous if you hurt them. (In which case they might actually well kill you.) but if you don't harm them they won't harm you. (Well unless you swim into one of their fins.)

Beautiful. And yet... it shows that whales aren't very clever. People are dangerous to whales. If I were a whale I'd keep far, far away from humans.

Simply amazingly beautiful, if they thought you were gonna harm them, you would not have been able to set with them that long....they have great senses to us humans, you were afraid for nothing! Relax next time, enjoy their company, makes it a lot easier for the giants to relax......thanks for posting
