About
This talk will look at the history, biology, and enduring mystery of the sperm whale, from its central role in the whaling industry to what scientists are still finding out today. The session will connect maritime history with remarkable recent discoveries, including footage of sperm whales carrying the remains of giant squid, the elusive deep-sea creatures that inspired myths such as the Kraken.
