Safari Ltd Sea Life Sperm Whale Realistic Handpainted Figurine(Grey)

Sperm Whales are one of the largest animals on earth, growing up to 70 feet long. They have the largest brain of any creature on earth and are the largest toothed predator. Sperm Whales hunt squid and other sea creatures across every ocean. They can dive over a mile down and can stay submerged for over an hour. Sperm Whales were hunted in the 18th and 19th centuries. Male bulls were known to aggressively defend themselves against small whaling skiffs. Herman Melville was inspired to write Moby Dick after reading about the Essex, a whaling ship which was sunk by a reportedly 80-foot sperm whale.
