Sperm whale

Sperm whales use “rapid pulse trains and creaks when they dive to great depths” (Jones 2005). The creaks, as mentioned by Jones (2005), are “associated with rapid body movements [by the whale] suggestive of pursuit of prey” (Jones 2005). These whales utilize the rapid pulses when closing in on their prey to hone in on the finer details, almost identical to the terminal phase of bats. Dolphins can produce a variety of different sounds for different purposes. Each individual sounds different, and

Sperm whales can hold their breath for over one hour because they have electrically charged proteins in their blood. The sperm whales make some of the longest dives of all the mammals in the whole world. Comparing the humans to the sperm whales, the longest time that in all time a human has ever held their breath underneath the water was for only 19 minutes and the maximum that a sperm whale can dive underneath the water is for 90 minutes approximately according to the scientists that study this

The Sperm whale is one the largest predators that inhabits the northern, southern hemisphere, and all parts of oceans. The animal can often be found swimming throughout the waters of the Galapagos Islands. It holds the title of being the largest toothed whale, growing an approximate 40-60 feet in length. The animal is also identified by its unique brown and blue-gray skin color. The Sperm whale’s squared shaped head is the most and largest identifiable feature, while containing underwhelming eyes

In the article, “Sperm Whales and Killer Whales with the Largest Brain of All Toothed Whales Show Extreme Differences in Cerebellum” the author Sam H. Ridgway studies the cerebellums of the most widest distributed whales in the world. The killer whale and the sperm whale both have huge brains, but this study suggests why the killer whales have a significantly larger cerebellum than that of the sperm whale. After collecting, measuring, and preserving the species, the skull was ready to be chipped

In Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, the white whale has been a representation of many things, including God, nature and specific origins of life that are beyond the control of mankind. The quest to hunt down Moby- Dick by the Pequod is seen as symbolic. For Ahab, slaying the sperm whale is the main goal in his life. This can be extended symbolically so that the sperm whale represents everybody’s goals. His vengeance towards the sperm whale is similar to man’s struggle in contradiction of destiny. The

of how movie trailers are strategically designed to make a movie much more epic than it really is. They got me good this time! In the Heart of the Sea is the story of the ship The Essex and it 's few surviving men and their horrific story of the whale that brought them down. It is the true story that helped inspire the famous Novel Moby Dick...however after watching this I think I would have preferred to see the movie Moby Dick instead of its inspiration. We start the story with Herman Melville

the trailers for In the Heart of the Sea, directed by Ron Howard, are based of a book version with the same title. The abstract idea of this movie sounds phenomenal, but the when it comes to the teaser trailer that is supposed to be about a giant whale, it did not seem to make a splash. The movie is not slated to be released until December 11, 2015, but it is clear to see that the teaser trailer has given the movie a negative vibe. Luckily, the official trailer was released about a month later

How Animals Talk like Humans Human interaction and communication is more complex than any animal studied thus far. The human mind contains very intricate patterns of communication that is far more advanced than any animal and it is one of the aspects which allowed humans to flourish. However, the patterns that humans use to communicate are also used by many animals. Our habit to anthropomorphize other species has swayed many research projects that remain popularly believed. This principle of an existing

Architeuthis dux, better known as the giant squid has been around for years. During that time, scientists studied the predator and photographed the giant creature that lived in the deep waters of the ocean. Yet, there is an even larger predator. The Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni: The Colossal squid is longest creature of the deep. It weighs over 1000 pounds, and has shorter tentacles (“Meet” 71) Purely by accident, a colossal squid measuring 14 feet was netted by a fisherman in 2007. Many years prior

Though, in overseeing the pursuit of this whale, Captain Ahab had evinced his customary activity, to call it so; yet now that the creature was dead, some vague dissatisfaction, or impatience, or despair, seemed working in him; as if the sight of that dead body reminded him that Moby Dick was yet to be slain; and though a thousand other whales were brought to his ship, all that would not one jot advance his grand, monomaniac object. Very soon you would have thought from the sound on the Pequod 's
