Gestation in Sperm Whale females lasts about 14 to 16 months. A sigle calf is produced at the end of gestation. Lactation proceeds for 19 to 42 months, but calves may suckle up to 13 years. Calves can suckle from females other than their mothers. Females generally have birth intervals of three to six years between calf birth.
They will probably have 5 or 6 calves in their lifetime.

Do white whales eat humpback whales?
While there are white whales - like the Belugas, it's not a recognized species name. Natural variety sometimes create individuals that have a whiter/brighter hue than the norm for the species. Possibly even Albino specimens. The Great White Whale of the novel Moby Dick is supposed to be a white(ish) sperm whale. And since not all whales would be able to eat chunks of meat even if they tried - due to being baleen whales, filter feeders - it's impossible to say if a white whale would have a go at a humpback whale. No, only killer whales and sharks eat humpback whale calves. The kills usually happen in humpback whale feeding grounds (cold, polar, waters). Sharks occasionally prey on really young calves, but killer whales are a much bigger threat.
