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.
