Overview
Sperm Whale
- live at least 60-70 years.
- form “nursery schools” that contain between 20 and 30 whales; females, calves, and juveniles (male and female).
- the brain is the largest of any animal, about 9 kilograms.
- Adult males (bulls) reach more than 15 metres (50 feet) in length and weigh 54,400 kilograms (120,000 pounds, 60 tons).
- Adult females (cows) reach more than 11 metres (36 feet) and weigh 25,000 kilograms (55,000 pounds, 27.5 tons).
- Newborn (calves) are about 4 metres (13 feet) long and weigh only 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds, 1.1 tons).
- a calf is born to a female only every 4 to 6 years.
- calves stay with the mother for between 1 and 2 years.
