Cachalot

General Background
Also known as the Sperm whale,these whales are the largest toothed whales/largest toothed predator alive today.An extinct relative is the Livyatan but it also has living relatives,the Pygmy and Dwarf sperm whales which are in the genus Kogia.Males are usually 52 feet long but some can be 67 feet long.Females and young animals live in pods while mature males live on their own.Unlike most whales,its blowhole is mostly to the left side of the head,and it has ecolocation,not common in whales but in most dolphins.It is the second deepest diving mamal,only beaten by the Cuvier's beaked whale.They dive to feed on squid,even the giant and colossal squid are on the menu but they can actually kill Sperm whales so it can go either way.Most Sperm whale adults have no predators,however a calf or a weakened(sick,injured or even too old) adult can fall victim to a pod of Orcas,the only other predator is Humans.Unfortunantly humans are the main reason Sperm whales are vunerable because they were hunted for the oil in their bodies along with the spermaceti organ in their heads.But now their main threat is deep sea netting and collisions with boats along with the ingestion of marine debris and sonar from submarines.But they are faring better than other whale species like the Blue Whale,and the Sperm whale is the most likely to recover.
