No, the name comes from the substance found in their heads, spermaceti
Sperm whales -like all whales - are warm blooded
Yes, sperm whales live in all the oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea.
Females Sperm Whales stay in groups of about a dozen individuals along with their young. Males leave these "nursery pods" at somewhere between 4 and 21 years of age and join a "bachelor pod" with other males of similar age and size. As males grow older, they tend to break out into smaller groups, and the oldest males typically live solitary lives

well kinda yes since there are like blue whales, sperm whales, killer whales, and etc.
Like all other animals there are female Sperm whales.
Sperm whales live all over the world except antartica.
Now, Like With The Orca Having The Incorrect Name "Killer Whale", Do Not Be Fooled With The Name And Size, PLEASE! It Is NOT A True Whale, It Is More Related To Dolphins And Porpoises. 1. Sperm Whales Are Not True Whales Because They Have True Teeth And NOT Baleen. 2. Sperm Whales Do NOT Eat Krill Or Shrimps, They Mainly Eat Squid And Fish, They Might Even Eat Sharks. 3. Sperm Whales Have A Head Nothing Like A Baleen Whale And It Cannot Fit Baleen Into It's Mouth. 4. Sperm Whales Are Normally 15 Meters For Females And 18 Meters For Males, Most Baleen Whales Are Larger Than That. That's All I Have To Say Now.
Sperm whales have the largest brains of all living creatures at the moment (so even bigger than the Blue whale's brain). It weighs in at about 7,2 kilos.
Adult Male Sperm Whales can be as long as 20 meters. The average size is around 17 meters and they weigh 40 tonnes or more. Adult Female Sperm whales are on an average 11 meters long and weigh around 14 tonnes. They are one of the largest Whale species in the world.Sperm whales can grow up to 60 feet as males, while females can be 40 feet.
Sperm whales mainly eat giant squid.
