Professor Malcolm Clarke talks about his research into Pygmy Sperm Whales

Professor Malcolm Clarke talks about his research into Pygmy Sperm Whales. At one time critics of his research into the function of the Spermacetti in the regular sperm whales, contested that the spermacetti in Pygmy Sperm Whales was evidence against his ideas. Professor Clarke investigated the Pygmy Sperm Whale and discovered that the spermacetti is used for quite a different function. In this film he discusses this along side a skelton of a Pygmy Sperm Whale.
