Sperm Whales are carnivores and feed on several species. The most notable prey species are the giant squid, the colossal squid, octopuses, and diverse fish like demersal rays, but the main part of their diet consists of medium-sized squid. Due to their sheer size, some prey may be taken incidentally while eating other items.

Ambergris may help protect the sperm whale from the stings on the giant squid, its major food. Large lumps of ambergris may be vomited up by the sperm whale.The fictional Moby Dick was a sperm whale.
Can squid eat whales?
Yes. The whale can kill the squid if it really wanted to. But most likely the squid would be gone before the whale could find it. Plus killer whales hate cold water. Squids literaly need cold water. -- Orcas do not hate cold water, they primarily live in the North West Pacific Ocean, where it is quite cold. And squid do not need cold water, many of them live in tropical waters. Orcas have been known to eat common squid. The main reason a fight between these two would not happen is because giant squid live in the deep ocean, deeper than orcas typically dive. --
