Rare Sperm Whale Encounter with ROV | Nautilus Live
Ғылым және технология
At 598 meters (1,962 ft) below the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, ROV Hercules encountered a magnificent sperm whale. The whale circled Hercules several times and gave our cameras the chance to capture some incredible footage of this beautiful creature. Encounters between sperm whales and ROVs are incredibly rare.
E/V Nautilus is exploring the ocean studying biology, geology, archeology, and more. Watch www.nautiluslive.org for LIVE video from the ocean floor. For live dive updates follow along on social media at / nautiluslive and / evnautilus on Twitter. For more photos from our dives, check out our Instagram @nautiluslive.

What really impresses me is that the whale had time for this. The fact they can stay under for so long and so deep is completely unbelievable to me. I used to think that it must've always been a race for them, to conserve as much energy as possible, efficiently eat as much as they could and get back up, because that's how swimming and diving is for me(besides the eating part). But it's just leisurely circling the rover. Absolutely unreal and incredible footage. Thank you so much.

Not too surprised it isn't scared, pretty sure sperm whales are the biggest things that spend any time at that depth by a large margin. Not a whole lot that can realistically threaten it there. Fun fact, sperm whales are the leading contenders for largest active predators ever. Like EVER, in all 2 billion years or so of the history of life on Earth. A couple other prehistoric toothed whales, Megalodon, and Spinosaurus were similar size, but we can't be sure if they were bigger or smaller overall. Also, size estimates for ancient giants tend to go down over time as more evidence is found and hype dies down. We at least KNOW that sperm whales can grow to over 65 ft long, which can't be said of the others. So yeah, it doesn't have much to be scared of down there. Even if Megalodon actually had survived to the present (it hasn't) the Sperm whale would be at worst an equal match lol.

Their eyes look tiny in relation to their heads. The eye is directly behind and above the outer edge of their mouths. Like slightly more than halfway between the mouth and the pectoral fin (edit meaning closer to the mouth than fin). They're super hard to see if you don't know where to look, due to the sheer size of their heads (particularly their mouths). I'd say, look for the mouth line, focus on the upper part and then scan backwards towards the pectoral fin, and you'll find it.

People from all over the world have gathered here to watch this whale - this whale who right now is hopefully still living and thriving, swimming at unknown depths in the ocean without the slightest idea or concept of just how many people have come together to watch this video. So many people watch in awe and the whale lives on completely unaware. Beautiful
I can watch this video over and over again. And each time I get excited like the first time.

It's amazing how agile it is. I'm so used to seeing whales on the surface with their typical movements but this was something else. Totally surreal
Sooooo beautiful! Whales and dolphins are so beautiful in their natural habitat. It breaks my heart to see them contained. We need to care for our oceans more, and for the incredible creatures at home there.
I come back and watch this video again every couple of months just to hear the amazing joy contagious laughter of the researchers. Puts a smile on my face every time.

You know what's even better? They dive hundreds and thousands of meters and commonly fight giant squids in the depths, that's where a lot of the whale's scars come from
@TormodSteinsholt

This video suggests to me that such fights at these depths may be a lot less intense than what we imagine. The whale is barely moving. Presumably preserving oxygen by lowering its metabolism.

Oh absolutely. That whale skin does not give off scars willy nilly. But the way the whale placidly drifted around the ROV suggests to me that it's far less animated at these depths than what we're accustomed to seeing from these creatures. If you search on youtube whale vs giant squid, then you will see a kind of high speed pursuit. But maybe the whale just swims up to it, clamps down on it and starts swimming up to the surface in a sedated state. I have no special knowledge about it, it was just a thought that struck me.

Tormod Steinsholt While that makes sense in itself, I don't think these shots are any basis to that claim. He was (rather obviously, I think) very curious and observing about the beeping, blinking box. He might have inspected it very thoroughly, thus not swimming at pursuit speeds. Because squids are generally extremely fast.

True facts about sperm whales #1: Sperm whales hunt giant squid by clicking, partly because the oseean is dark and partly because they click louder than a Saturn v rocket. Imagine beatboxing a Mugger to death. Now imagine that mugger is a two ton eight-armed plate of calamari sushi. That is how the sperm whale do.

all the scientists sound so nerdy it's adorable
This is the best of humanity of full display. Building a super expensive, super complicated machine to explore some very hard to get to and remote area of the planet. And then cooing and giggling with child-like enthusiasm when we find something interesting. Genuine, good natured curiosity, wonder and respect for life. Humans can be such sweet, lovable little monkeys.
