The Sperm Whale can hold it's breath much longer than any whale. It dives down to bottom of the ocean where it is dark and damp. It is able to catch and eat giant squid which is really impressive for a whale! The Sperm Whale has a huge head and is the biggest toothed whale in the world! It also has the biggest brain - it isn't as smart as you think though!

Do female sperm whales have teeth?
The sperm whale is a toothed whale. The sperm whale could be the biggest animal in in existence that has teeth. It has big teeth (in it's lower jaw) to catch and eat large prey, such as the giant squid. Baleen is not a tooth, but, is a flexible plate, and baleen whales have many of them in the front of the mouths. Baleen whales, such as the blue whale, eat very small animals such as plankton by taking large amounts of water into their mouths. The whales then strain the water through their baleen, which traps the plankton inside, which are then swallowed. Whalers who caught sperm whales in the past, would sometimes take the large teeth and make drawings on them.

Are sperm whales the largest whales?
Killer Whale - Killer whales usually travel in larger groups and they are a lot faster and more agile. Sperm whales also aren't used to groups of animals attacking them because they are generally deep in the sea where they have no predators and there aren't many animals. Also, killer whales have better eye sight because they use it more while sperm whales are usually in pitch black water where they rely completely on echolocation. Calves and small female groups are at risk, male bull sperm whales are not: The bull sperm whale is much bigger than a killer whale. The bull can grow up-to 65ft and way over 60 tons, have over 40 large 't-rex' style teeth on their bottom jaw, and can become incredibly aggressive when threatened. Their massive head act as the perfect battering rams, and their huge tail flukes can decimate a pod of orcas. Hence orcas rarely engage combat with large bulls sperm whales, as there are plenty of other fish in the sea: ie lower risk, higher reward prey items around
