#SpermWhales “Regularly” Toot Gas To Hang Motionless In The #Ocean While They #Sleep
“Because the oils are lighter (less dense) than other parts of the body, this causes sperm whales to passively rotate to the iconic head-up posture that we can see in photographs and observe using animal-attached tags.”
As they sleep, sperm #whales vent gas up to 11 times per rest to maintain neutral buoyancy. They “regularly” release a little air, which allows them to sink down again.

How decoding beluga #whales’ chitchat may save them – and teach us more about ourselves
From #humpbacks learning the latest songs to #spermWhales’ ‘clan codas’, drones and AI learning are helping reveal another dimension to the concept of culture -
Last night, in International Waters, the Icelandic Coast Guard seized the Bandero, removing the Captain Paul Watson Foundation's conservation vessel from the front lines of Operation 86 after weeks of pursuing Iceland's commercial whaling fleet, conducted by Kristján Loftsson's company, Hvalur hf.
Throughout the campaign, the Bandero was closely monitored by the Icelandic Coast Guard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6MUi-tH_Rs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lccjb05F9c #whaling #whales #CPWF #WWF #sea #SeaShepherd #climate

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐋🫧 Sperm #whales blow bubbles to keep from floating up while napping vertically in the #water. Researchers monitored 42 whales off #Norway’s #Lofoten Islands with suction-cup recording devices.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐋⚓ Sperm whales near #Dominica shorten their click sequences and shift their vowel-like #sounds when #ships are present, according to researchers from #ProjectCETI and #UCBerkeley.
The team analyzed over 1,000 codas from 15 #whales over four years, finding that rhythm and click timing best predict nearby #vessels. The findings add to efforts to decode whale #language and understand how human noise affects #marine life.

Escorting The Blimp
The times were crazy since that alternate reality dropped onto Earth. Had somene told her only five years ago she would be steering an airship through interdimensional clouds, escorted by frigging flying whales, she probably had told that person to stop doing drugs. But here she was ...

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐋🗣️ Sperm #whales in the #Mediterranean are splitting into two dialect groups: eastern whales clicking faster, western whales clicking slower, according to researchers.
By studying over 5,000 recordings from #Greece and #Spain, scientists discovered distinct regional accents.

Different sperm whale ‘dialects’ detected on separate sides of the #Mediterranean
Matriarchal groups in east and west exhibit distinct click patterns, used to form social structureshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/24/sperm-whale-dialects-detected-mediterranean
I didn't realise the Med had #spermWhales at all - seems like a small pond for such a big beast, also not very deep for a deep-diving species, and historically exposed to coastal whale hunters?

🌊 Celebrate World Oceans Day with film! Explore the magic of echolocation and the world of whales through the captivating Oscar-winning film Whale Rider. This beautiful oceanic film is great for summer learning and kids love the echolocation learning activity.
Plan ahead: This is a great film to teach with for Matariki on July 4-19!

Incredible Breakthrough in Whale Communication Studies - YouTube

#SpermWhales’ communication closely parallels human #language
Analysis shows #whales’ coda vocalizations are ‘highly complex’ and remarkably similar to our own
Not only do sperm whales have a form of “alphabet” and form vowels within their vocalizations but the structure of these vowels behaves in the same way as human speech, the new study has found.
The structure of the whales’ communication has “close parallels in the phonetics and phonology of human languages"

Little by little, Homo sapiens is coming down from its pedestal. We are discovering that many species use forms of communication just as sophisticated as our own.

New #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.

Scientists Filmed a #Whale #Birth. The Surprise: Mom Had Many Helpers.
Involving a group of #spermwhales, adds to evidence that humans aren’t the only species that gets some form of assistance during and after delivery.
In #whales, it appears that baleen species are more solitary during birth and that the mother alone raises the calf to the surface to breathe. But for some toothed species, like sperm whales, birth is a collective experience.
