KarenBravo Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Sperm whales live and hunt in very deep waters. Has drifted in from the Indian Ocean helped by the recent cyclone in the Bay of Bengal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bowman Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) My research shows that the sperm whale is a mammal with a worldwide range and will migrate seasonally for feeding and breeding. Females and young males live together while mature males live solitary lives outside of the mating season. Edited June 2, 2017 by missoura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
