The males do. Whales are mammals.

They do indeed, but note that the name "sperm whale" has nothing to do with making more whales.

The word here is short for "spermacetti", an oily fat deposit in the head that sadly was commercially valuable in the past. It may have something to do with the animal's hearing underwater.
Not exactly. They have a special kind of oil called spermaceti, but technically yes, they do.

The name comes from the old-time whalers mistaking the spermaceti for the creature's reproductive sperm, which of course the males make anyway.

The spermaceti - an oily fat - is in the animal's head and may be linked to the way it hears underwater.
