Sperm Whales

The Sperm Whales brain weighs approximately 19 lbs

they have thick layers of blubber and fat to keep them insulted in their very cold environment. They have strong flippers to keep them swimming and they hold their breath for up to 30 minutes in the ocean before they need to come to the surface.

superstition and prophecies

No such animal.

They are reabsorbed by the body.

yes
Yes. Though they are the most common type of whale that inhabits almost every ocean in the world, they are endangered because of hunting. Humans have been hunting Sperm Whales for nearly two centuries and have wiped out huge populations of this giant animal. They are hunted for their blubber and sperm oil.

The diet of an sperm whale is typically Squid, giant squid, octopus and fish
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.

JUNK

A blue whale. Before whaling there were estimated to be 200000 to 300000 in artic and Antarctic waters. At up to 200 tonnes, they are the largest animal of any kind ever to have lived on earth including the largest of the dinosaurs

Adult Sperm whales are too large to be attacked or killed by any animal. However the killer whale or Orca as they are more commonly known is known to prey upon youngsters and stray calf's. No animal is large enough to attack and kill a full grown sperm whale.

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.

Killer whales, also known as orcas, have a distinctive black and white pattern that is a type of camouflage called "disruptive coloration". Disruptive coloration is where an animal's color pattern contradicts its body shape. This helps killer whales because in the flickering/filtered light under the sea, other animals may not recognize it as a potential predator.

The Sperm Whale can hold it's breath much longer than any whale. It dives down to bottom of the ocean where it is dark and damp. It is able to catch and eat giant squid which is really impressive for a whale! The Sperm Whale has a huge head and is the biggest toothed whale in the world! It also has the biggest brain - it isn't as smart as you think though!

Whales are part of the order: Cetacea which takes it's name from the Latin word Cetus which is now taken to mean whale but originally meant some form of sea monster.

Sperm is for procreation not a dinner substitute. That is why so many people have the incorrect attitude about sex, some men are encouraging women to do this for them, by making them think that the protein content is so high that they will stay healthy, look at the AIDS epidemic and tell me that the eating of sperm is a good thing.

== == If two people were already having unprotected oral sex or intercourse, then they've already risked exposure to HIV. Eating semen didn't cause the AIDS epidemic, it was unprotected sex in general, sharing needles, and blood transfusions in the 80's that is what has spread HIV. No, you should not eat sperm from random men, you can get diseases. However, if you're in a relationship with someone and you've been having unprotected sex with them then there isn't much harm in eating their semen too if you want to.

• HUMANS
• sealions
• sometimes orcas

yes because humans are killing them just for there "Sperm Oil" in their heads.

No. Although listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN, this species is fully protected now by international whaling moratoriums.

They may not have any effect on most land biomes, but they do help their own enviroment. Every animal impacts their own environment one way or another, usually more in a good way then a bad way.

Health-wise, no, it's even slightly beneficial.

Or maybe irrelevant. It has no significant nutritional value.

Morally, you might consider it mass-cannibalism.

"Darling, I've swallowed the kids!"

It is Endangered. Though they are the most common type of whale that inhabits almost every ocean in the world, they are endangered because of hunting. Humans have been hunting Sperm Whales for nearly two centuries and have wiped out huge populations of this giant animal. They are hunted for their blubber and sperm oil.

At dephts of 10.000 meters.Only for his two favourites preys:the giant squid and the colossal squid.He can go this depth because he has sonar, and he's very big.He goes to deep water for 2 hours.

Extinct means all gone, no one left alive. And xince we still have whales, thay aren't extinct.

But they are threatened, not many left. A bit more hunting, maybe some disease, could easily kill off all that are left.

Sperm can not live in open air.

However; sperm when ejaculated are not in open air.

The ejaculate fluid (semen) protects the sperm. So long as the sperm remain wet and within the seminal fluids, it is possible for them to live two to three days. To keep them wet for that long would require ideal conditions. (proper humidity, no contact with drying agents, avoidance of air flow, etc)

Under normal circumstances; seminal fluids dripped onto the human body or onto bed sheets will dry up. This may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour (mostly depending on humidity and contact with other surfaces). Once the seminal fluids are dry; the sperm inside have been exposed fully to open air, and are dead.

Yes, sperm can live up to 72 hours after ejaculation
