When a single or even a few members of the pod get sick and seek shallow water, so does the rest of the pod. Experience has shown that the sickest animals are probably the leaders (who are often the oldest animals) and have led the rest of the pod into shallow waters where they all strand. Pods are often very tightly-knit groups and our experience has shown that there is a lot of reluctance to leave sick animals that are part of the pod. A lot of these instances show that not only have the sickest animals not eaten in a while, but even the healthier ones are dehydrated and malnourished as well. the pod get sick and seek shallow water, so does the rest of the pod.

∙ 12y agoYes. 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
