      ⁠@@MonsieurFesheactually sperm whales are quite unique. They have extremely large brains and have an oil cavity in their head and the oil is believed to harden in the deeper, colder depths and help as almost a diving weight. They also have an amazing way their ribs and lungs collapse to accommodate the high pressure. They’re super meat creatures. The ocean is equally interesting and terrifying to me.

Talk to me when great whites stop RAM ventilating, can dive as deep as sperm whale (though I find it cool that great whites can effectively if shared, especially of being hunted, dive deep and close their gills, holding their breath, as the deep gets too cold for them! Wonder how long they can survive closing their gills?) And swim backwards! .

    What really impresses me is that the whale had time for this. The fact they can stay under for so long and so deep is completely unbelievable to me. I used to think that it must've always been a race for them, to conserve as much energy as possible, efficiently eat as much as they could and get back up, because that's how swimming and diving is for me(besides the eating part). But it's just leisurely circling the rover. Absolutely unreal and incredible footage. Thank you so much.

      Not too surprised it isn't scared, pretty sure sperm whales are the biggest things that spend any time at that depth by a large margin. Not a whole lot that can realistically threaten it there. Fun fact, sperm whales are the leading contenders for largest active predators ever. Like EVER, in all 2 billion years or so of the history of life on Earth. A couple other prehistoric toothed whales, Megalodon, and Spinosaurus were similar size, but we can't be sure if they were bigger or smaller overall. Also, size estimates for ancient giants tend to go down over time as more evidence is found and hype dies down. We at least KNOW that sperm whales can grow to over 65 ft long, which can't be said of the others.
      So yeah, it doesn't have much to be scared of down there. Even if Megalodon actually had survived to the present (it hasn't) the Sperm whale would be at worst an equal match lol.

      Their eyes look tiny in relation to their heads. The eye is directly behind and above the outer edge of their mouths. Like slightly more than halfway between the mouth and the pectoral fin (edit meaning closer to the mouth than fin). They're super hard to see if you don't know where to look, due to the sheer size of their heads (particularly their mouths). I'd say, look for the mouth line, focus on the upper part and then scan backwards towards the pectoral fin, and you'll find it.

If you search on youtube whale vs giant squid, then you will see a kind of high speed pursuit. But maybe the whale just swims up to it, clamps down on it and starts swimming
      up to the surface in a sedated state. I have no special knowledge about it, it was just a thought that struck me.

      Sequoia trees. The redwoods. Two giants, the heart of peace.
      Watched a vid on the redwoods recently, and mention was made of a Finnish arborist who cried with joy the first time he saw sequoias.
      Why do so many of us react that way?
      Read a scifi story a long time ago, sequoia are actually aliens, came to earth to help us, with a REALLY long attention span. Finally realized their true nature, when an autistic child communicated with them. Story goes from there to an official sequoia ambassador to earth.
      I can almost believe it.
