How many species of sperm whales are there?

There are three species of sperm whale alive,1, The Sperm Whale,2, The Pygmy Sperm Whale, and3, The Dwarf Sperm Whale.GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe sperm whale is a toothed whale that lives in pods. It has a huge brain that weighs about 20 pounds (9 kg); it is the largest brain of any animal. The sperm whale has a single blowhole that is s-shaped and about 20 inches long. The blowhole is located on the left side of the front if its huge head. The sperm whale has a 4-12 inch thick layer of blubber.Sperm whales produce ambergris, a dark, waxy substance (related to cholesterol) that is produced in the lower intestines, and is sometimes found containing squid beaks. 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.


How long can whale stay underwater?

They mostly stay underwater for 3 to 8 minutes. However, longer periods of up to 30 minutes50 to 80 minutesA:a whale can stay under water for more than a hour. it can stay in water for about 50-80 minutes.Up to 30 min.The Sperm whale can hold its breath for up to 90 minutes. See the related link for more information.It varies between each whale.Some river-dwelling cetaceans, such as the baiji and the Indus river dolphin, can only hold their breaths for up to five minutes. However, the fin whale can hold its breath for up to twenty minutes, whereas the giant sperm whale can hold its breath for as long as two hours (though the average duration seems to be about forty to ninety minutes). It really does depend on many factors, such as the environment of the whale, how deep it has to dive to hunt, the size of the whale and the age of the whale.From 20 minutes to 2 hours.Whale blood holds more oxygen than human blood. Also, taking several deep breaths before it dives adds extra oxygen to a whale's blood. During the dive, the whale draws on this stored up supply of oxygen. When it's gone, the whale returns to the surface to breathe.Whales do not have especially large lungs, they just make use of the lungs they do have. When we breathe, we fill about one fourth of our lungs with air. When whales breathe in, the air fills almost all of their lungs. Also, whales use up the air in their lungs a lot slower than we do. That's because a whale's heart beat gets slower when it dives; a slow heart beat helps stretch out the supply of air.

How small is the smallest whale?

The smallest whale in the world is the Dwarf Sperm Whale; a member of the Sperm whale family that reaches a maximum of 2.7 meters long and a maximum of about 272 kilograms. This whale is found in many of the world's oceans, but is elusive to the extent that we don't know what their world wide population is. One of the reasons that we know so little about this whale is that until the 1960′s it was thought to be the same as the Pygmy Sperm Whale, and although they are similar, they are definitely not the same whale.
