Such amazing and fantastic creatures. Thank you all for protecting them 💜
Lovely Dominica 🇩🇲
Cecilia, PLEASE do a piece about singer Luis Miguel. He has a fascinating story.
God bless him, and anyone else dedicating their lives to protect these AMAZING animals.
We’ve done enough harm to the oceans. It’s time to give back.
You all need to go to the faros Islands where the slaughter Piolet whales its disgusting
The damage continues to this day. Sad indeed 😢
@@jalan5842 why on earth would people act so stupid? Million dollar question.
@@jalan5842 it is disgusting. It should be stopped.
In sentiments of one syllable ... brilliant!
Thank you for that (and I lied about the syllables-I was still awestruck ...)
Dominica thanks you!!!
Fascinating! Thank you, Cecelia Vega 👏
Such a beautiful great creature that God created. Our God is an Awesome God!!
amazing animal worthy of the utmost respect. It breaks my heart our plastic, trash and boats hurt them
60 minutes are so good i thought they would have an interview with one of the whales
lmao
Creating marine protected areas is critical to supporting a healthy ocean. Glad to see our partner Enric Sala of Pristine Seas highlighted here!
This is awesome! Thank you for doing this story on the Sperm Whale!
I love sperm whales, thanks for this!
❤… thank you to all involved 🙏🏻🎉
The Wells perhaps are not actually sleeping perhaps they are taking time reducing the pressure around them so they don’t suffer the bends
beautiful creatures
Spectacular creatures ❤
Mind-blowing...😯
“Let’s keep it going man”! with my salad bowl. “I KNOW I’m going to find them”. He got a keen ear.
Amazing! I never nu 4 certain that such aquatic animals lived in the Caribbean!
i loved this segment!
Awesome....simply awesome.
They didn’t see anything until the last hour of the last day. certainly worth the wait…
Tag pods of whales with satellite link create a link for major ship lines to adjust course and speed....
First you have to get into the big heads of mariners and make it law....
Save the Whales!

Small Critique to 60 minute interviewers… Please Stop repeating the last sentence of the guest with an inflection. This presumes your audience is not smart enough to follow along. Example:
Guest Statement
“I realized I was Writing the obituary of the ocean”
Interviewer Response
“Writing the obituary of the ocean?”
I love Sperm Whales so much. Petition for a name change, though.
Magical!!
Bucket list!
I work with several.
That's the kind of sixty minute story you want to See
Awesome.
Truly amazing!!!
Pretty sad to think we feel we have a right to put a percentage on the amount. But I realise it's better than anything.
Reserves now!!!
Wonderful story! I have to ask: could "we" communicate after a fashion with these whales if, say, a simple child's metal clicker toy was taken into the water...give the same click series as the whale: 5 slow clicks, after the whale gave her series of clicks? Modifying the clicks associated with more specific things, like having a pre-caught squid offered along with, say, 3 quick clicks - pause - three more quick clicks, might slowly create some rapport?
I was home schooled- how big is a school bus?
He is the largest predator on earth
we need to study whales dreaming 😅
Yes! Sadly, could be too late some species. Many numbers dwindling, collision with boats, pollution, fishing nets and garbage, over-fishing food sources and many other threats.
Ugh and wind farms 😂
Thank God he still has sperm😊
Marine sanctuary zone's increase the value of localities nearby
WOW WOW WOW going into my SAILING WHALES AND MARINE LIFE (PLAYLIST) . I'd love to hear what an expert would say about the sailboat sunk recently, they think by a sperm whale ?
Sa ka fete ?🇩🇲🇩🇲
Mweh la.😅
"Sperm" whales need a name change. This creature has an amazing power: powerfully focused echo location that can stun prey! This amazing being deserves a name worthy of its power.
Disgustingly ignorant humans that named it.
They are named after the waxy substance-spermaceti-found in their heads. The spermaceti is an oil sac that helps the whales focus sound. Spermaceti was used in oil lamps, lubricants, and candles.
@@HeartsforJesus25 Yes they killed whales back then to light their lamps...what a waste of life.
@@HeartsforJesus25 thank you
@@HeartsforJesus25 yea, but it was called spermaceti because it reminded them of sperm. That's just wrong and gross.
@@ZootZinBootZ it was named "spermaceti" because it reminded them of sperm. It's still gross and wrong. *No thank you!* "Sperm" whales deserve a name change.

Protect the innocent.✝️🙏🏻
AI was connected to an MRI, and was able to translate the image to text. The subjects were given a picture to think about and the AI succeeded in reading their mind.
I wonder what the animals will say, once we understand them?
The adult males are more agressive.

👍🙏
The sperm whales sleep state must move directly from their conscious into their unconscious minds.They don't appear to dream-no body movement.
♥️
what's the name of the interviewer
Damage done by governments and it's corporate brothers say it correctly
I’m a whale and do not identify as a bus
Of course we need to protect all whales, but we also need to protect all humans (think of babies. And we should do that by “forcing” all rich corporations to give every person a Universal Basic Income, and eliminating the wage system of “work or starve.” After all, humans should understand that if we want to force fishermen to stop fishing, in certain areas at certain times, to let the fish repopulate. But first they need a Universal Basic Income. And protecting human babies is more important than animals.
Lol
please contact me about sperm whale dreaming research
Are you married? Or perhaps still adopting?😍
If they got a big brain why they train them to communicate? 13:18
Humans are obsessed with size. Just because the brain is big doesn't mean the brain has all of the necessary parts for language and communication.
Humans don't have the biggest brain, but we do have all of the necessary parts to understand how the Universe works.
That's why we are *The One.*
Perhaps the also have to decompres
How about those wind farms? Could this program be more deft and hypocritical 😂
They've taken out boats before but ok.
good
How did they get a name like that? Cause when you think of Sperm you think of 🤔 yeah that part.
Spermaceti is found in the whales head cavity
The inside of their large head is filled with a substance that resembled sperm to early whalers. It's not sperm. It's a substance that helps their sonar locate what ever they are looking for, probably prey.
So after hundreds of years, the name stuck.
Pretty easy to get an answer to that - if you really are out for that and not for some ... laugh?
NOAA Fisheries: "They are named after the waxy substance-spermaceti-found in their heads. The spermaceti is an oil sac that helps the whales focus sound. Spermaceti was used in oil lamps, lubricants, and candles."
Because the humans that named these whales are gross and dumb men.
Sperm whales have the ability to focus their echo location into a powerful beam that can stun prey; that's how they hunt giant squids.
They deserve a much more AWESOME name, a name that honors their power.
:)
Humans should learn how to respect nature...
Remember, republikkkans voted against saving the whales. Every single republikkkan.
