Scientists Capture Sperm Whales Headbutting in Stunning New Footage

> Scientists have finally captured something long rumored but never proven: sperm whales headbutting each other. Using drone footage from the Azores and Balearic Islands, researchers observed younger, sub-adult whales deliberately ramming one another—challenging the long-held belief that such behavior was limited to massive adult males.

Der gestrandete #Pottwal, der 2013 in Greenwich (#London) untersucht wurde, passte so gar nicht ans Ufer der Themse. Aber aus gutem Grund: Die lebensechte #Skulptur ist eine #Kunstaktion eines belgischen Kollektivs, die auf das Verschwinden der #Wale und den Klimawandel aufmerksam macht. Der #Wal wurde schon in einigen europäischen Städten gezeigt.

The beached #spermWhale that was examined in #Greenwich (London) in 2013 felt out of place by the Thames. But for good reason! This remarkably life-like #sculpture is an #art installation by a Belgian art collective, created to raise awareness of the decline of #whales and the impact of climate change. The #whale has already toured several European cities.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1820, the #whaling ship #Essex was attacked & sunk by a #SpermWhale in the South Pacific. A crew of 20 escaped in boats. Three stayed in the Pitcairns, 17 continued farther to South America; only cannibalism kept five alive. The events inspired #MobyDick.

#Nantucket is working with federal officials "to determine the best course of action regarding the whale that washed ashore.
The #spermwhale is a male that measures 50 feet long and weighs about 104,000 pounds, or 52 tons, according to Marine Mammal Alliance Nantucket

52-ton dead whale that washed up on Nantucket beach is "far too big" to remove, experts say

Scientists and Nantucket officials are trying to figure out what to do about a huge whale that washed up on the island.

In 1970 on #ThisDayInHistory, the #Oregon Dept. of Transportation did an incredibly stupid thing. A #SpermWhale had beached in Florence, and they blew up the carcass with dynamite. The #ExplodingWhale hurled massive hunks of whale ~240 metres, damaging cars and leaving a stench.

Второй раз поплавал с кашалотами. Последний заход был самым лучшим - я был в окружении четырех особей, они были совсем рядом и плыли небыстро. Но, конечно, именно в этот раз я не включил камеру 😪😪😪.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
