The Art Of Giant Slaying in The Dark

Discover the most powerful predatory whale in the world, the sperm whale, known as the giant slayer for its ability to hunt in perfect darkness. These incredible creatures undertake two-kilometer, 60-minute dives into freezing blackness to battle the largest invertebrates on Earth. Sperm whales consume so many giant and colossal squids that much of our knowledge about these elusive giants comes from their stomachs rather than the deep sea.
