A Very Communicative Sperm Whale!

Показать описание
A young, friendly sperm whale approaches and greets me with a series of rapid clicks in a vocalization technique called creaking. She is a member of a resident social unit who inhabits the offshore waters of Dominica.

Don't mind him, he's just detecting high traces of radiation.

That must be deafening in the water. I've heard people say those sonar clicks shake every part of your body at close range. What a magnificent creature though.

I just imagine, from the sperm whale's view, its like "I gotta whisper or Ill hurt their sensitive ears! Hey there little buddy. Are you ok? Am i to loud? Can you say something? I want to know what noises you make."

I don't know why, but somehow this majestic creature seems content. Thank you for sharing this amazing footage.

That they deliberately refuse to make a listening human's brain explode with their sonar clicks even though they are most definitely capable of doing so is miraculous. On the other hand, that you're constantly at the mercy of this powerful beast's sheer whim is terrifying.

The Sperm Whale probably thought something like: "awwww, how cute! so tiny!" and the clicking was our equivalent of making "pspspsps" to a cat

Probably not realistic, but I can dream :D

I love how it scans you then goes “hey it’s a human! Cool!”

What amazes me is that that's probably the most sophisticated language on this planet.. Their brain is working like ours but millions of years more developed

If only we could tell them to whisper so they don't ring your body inside out with their sound !

And to think that sperm whales like this one are battling with giant squids deep down in the ocean is amazing!

Just a friendly reminder that this sound could kill you underwater...

That sound is, officially the loudest organic sound on the planet.

Humpback whales communicate with a thrumming sound that carries for miles. I have felt it in my chest when operating an outboard skiff at high speed. Stopped the boat & watched as they surfaced.
