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.

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. --

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.
