He experienced the rare opportunity to photograph a social gathering of six sperm whales near the eastern Caribbean island of Dominica. He witnessed fascinating behavior such as whales playfully biting each other, rolling around, and babysitting. This assignment made Skerry realize that sperm whales are complex animals that have identity and personality, and exhibit traits similar to human beings.

I really liked the video...
Thank you for sharing..
Which Background music have you used in the this video can you please let me know?
「まっこうくじら」は有りました。
Tears are falling down my face as I am watching these beautiful creatures. I really hope to see them one day live in the ocean, it's one of my biggest dreams
It is criminal that these magnificent creatures are still hunted by several countries.
Like Albert Einstein wrote “...if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole live believing it is stupid.”
If we judge other animals on their ability to be human, we will continue to believe our species is the most intelligent animal.
What a beautiful interpretation and observation. Really majestic creatures these whales are. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
They really are majestic animals. If you'd like to learn more about these creatures and Brian Skerry, read on here: on.natgeo.com/2yxauyn
A fine forensic analysis.
They are created by God
Majestic is who created these complex organisms
The way this person described these amazing creatures was awesome. This is also exactly how I feel about all animals. Animals aren't just creatures living on Earth. Just like humans, they have lives and they each have their own special personality.
I was a young kid in 1987 , leaving Vietnam and I was on a boat for 3 days and I saw a sperm whale along the boat ..
I felt a strong bond to the whale I think the whale was smiling at me . I do believe everything is connected.
Wow
@@anonamiss5875 huh? I didn't get it
The most touching documentary I saw in my entire life. Much love for the 🐋 eho teached us humanity.
Humans nees to change. Im ashamed to be a human. God forgive us.
Everything he said about the ocean is me in a nutshell. I LOVE the ocean & the wonderful creatures that inhabit it. ♥♡
You say that until you find out about the Magnapinna squid lmao
The ocean is scary af (yes I have thassalaphobia)
Used to love watching Nat Geo with my old Boy
Communication with animals would be one of the biggest breakthroughs in human history, and it would inevitably come in handy as we explore the galaxy and beyond.
Absolutely amazing!
Actually, considering we think of ourselves as kings of the Earth and treat our environment, animals and fellow humans very poorly, maybe the term HUMANITY is slowly changing its meaning. With pollution, animal and workers' exploitation and all the other inequalities, humanity definitely doesn't have the same meaning as it is supposed to have.
Such a thought-provoking statement! If you'd like to learn more about Brian Skerry's work with these animals, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2yxauyn
@@NatGeo yes all are not cruel
yes very cool
It is a conundrum that whales seems more humane than humanity. We need to be more like them in some ways.
I love how u involved humans as well
Unforntunately not many concern on humans as muach as animals
Brian, its been many years since we first met but you have always amazed with your photography and spirit
Beautiful video, the whales look so relaxed in their environment.
A very nice video, thanks for sharing!
It’s sad to my see my favorite channel getting lower and lower views....
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing your experience 😍.
The way this guy narrates is just smooth..
I believe with all my heat that these are sentient and extremely intelligent creatures. How wonderful that they are willing to share just a small part of their lives with us. With one flick of their tail or gnashing of their teeth they could be rid of us pesky humans, but they welcome us with a gentle curiosity. All of us can do more to protect the ocean and the beautiful animals who live there. I know I will try harder to make a difference.
I have never personally seen a whale with my own eyes, but one day I hope to dive with Humpbacks. I feel a connection with them that it beyond myself...something that I cannot personally understand.
Beautiful creatures! The gentle beast!
National Geographic is awesome.thanks for your videos
i'm not afraid of the ocean life (tho i really dislike anything that has a shell)... i'm just afraid of the abyss... watching nothingness unfold before my very eyes is terrifying
Akride I'm a bit spooked by what's deeeep down there, the things we haven't discovered yet. There's probably some freaky things down there
Hey Hey there sure are, mate
But it isn't nothingness. It's full of life. It is outer space that is far more vast and terrifying because of its lifeless voids. Even if there are trillions of planets inhabited by life the voids between them are so huge and lifeless as to render them seemingly insignificant.
@@heyhey8722 Most of them are likely harmless. Even the giant and colossal squids are likely not harmful to humans.
Youll never know how deep the oceon
What a beautiful whales 😍 thanks National Geographic for the wonderful video. We do need to understand more about ocean and all living things live there.
One of the incredible And rare animal. Great vídeo. Congratulations
Cool..thanks NatGeo
So calm
Completely incredible.
Beautiful photography!
Thanks and congratulation !!!
humans are meant to be caretakers of all creatures on Earth.
Well so far we seem to be doing a bang up job!
Yes, i agree. For we are a benevolent god. Masters of all which we survey.
ifuwantpeace prepare4war
I agree..... now I don’t want to start a theological fight, but
Even the bible says that god put us here to take care of the earth.
We’ve evolved into intelligent beings so why don’t we do this? We
Obviously can, and need to.
Anton Resurreccion Humans aren’t “a benevolent god”. There IS a benevolent God, and it’s the God of Israel, creator of all that is.
We could be like the Forerunners but of this Universe
Gosh, I wish everyone thought about the ocean this way. I surely do, but there are a lot of people I know at school who don’t care. If I could make three wishes in my life, I would wish for success upon my favorite teachers, I’d wish for humans to be able to look at each other and not care about the color of their skin or what religion they follow or where they were born. Finally I’d wish for the planet to be saved and loved by all humans. The things we do to our planet are extremely destructive, and people don’t really seem to care or let alone notice at all. I’m glad Brian Skerry cares.
I know that had to be an amazing feeling to be by something so great!
Inspiring, I love it
Great video
And all those stars above are a firework display celebrating that existence is.
Beautiful
I dream of all of this. The water, the whales and all. Maybe in another lifetime. If only . . . .
Cool!!!
I think there’s a lot Sperm whales have to teach us judging a book by it’s over. Sperm whales may seem unknown to us, but after getting to know them, they actually have a complex language that we humans have yet to decipher.
LOVE THE WHALES
This is at different level
I LOVE IT
So beautiful i want to go into the sea 😍
So Coool
Cool.
Wow
Wild sea is wonderful 😍
Is that a weak smoke alarm battery beeping or is that supposed to be part of the music?
Beauty.
All animals have interesting lives😊
Water animals fascinates me more❤❤❤
I love you National Geografic mabye we can explore the worl and discolver😀😀😀😀😀
Lovely Video 🇮🇳
Like swim in the ocean with whales around you that is so cool
Wow... how’s the water pressure on your body when swimming deep to take those photos? Must be intense.
dude, this is cool
I love Whales Historys
Ur Engrish gud?
let's hear it for new england!
I want to see whales once in my life only video movie so far😔😔😔😔
U will one day :D
AND in pictures too! 😂
😭😭😭😭😭
over the summer I visited Alaska and saw humpbacks and orcas. It was an amazing experience and I wish you good luck in seeing one! Juneau the whale capital of Alaska :)
wow, guess I'm blessed. Where I live it's super easy to book a whale watching cruise & go out & watch them as they migrate, or even watch them from shore if lucky. I guess I've just always taken it for granted that anyone that lives near an ocean would have the same options. Wish you all the best in your quest!
If it's not that easy for you, I recommend going beyond the regular tourist trips when you do go out to see them. I did a full day tour to the edge of the continental shelf for "birdwatching" & the whales & dolphins we saw there were SO much better than the regular half day tours, since the half day tours the whales tend to get sick of people in boats watching them, whereas the further out one, the dolphins in particular REALLY wanted to play with the boat instead of just tolerating it. They were riding the bow waves & turning side on so they could make eye contact with me & the others that were watching them from about 1 metre away & I swear their drenching us with their blow holes was on purpose lol. The whales didn't get that close, but were happy to be quite near to us as they swam along, nothing spectacular with tales or breaching or anything, but clear view of the size & majesty of them (and kinda how ugly & warty humpback whales are too lol)
Que animais incríveis !
If you'd be kind to explain what are those floaters in some shots? Seagrass?
Ever type of whale is literally so cute and the best. Doesn't someone agree??
Every*
It made me wonder why whales don't seem to eat the people swimming around them. Humans are tiny compared to them, it's so easy for them to eat humans. Do they actively avoid eating humans? I wonder how many people have been eaten by whales.
THE FLOW
a giant whale oh my god!
do they tag the sperm whales or put gps locators so they can study them more?
🐳🐬🐋
If you think about it, sperm whales were hunted by sailors that were hunted by squid or octopus. So going after squid makes the sailors happy, less whaling
🐋🐳🐬
MAMA YOU LOVE THAT BIRD MAME :LA COLOMBE ?
These fish will smash a boat, even a small ship.
thanks for your deligence in recording the videos of sperm whales，i will never use or buy any products made of whales.
Whale done😜😜😜
Rip ocean
Never even thought of that
....THE WHAT?
It would be tragic yet epic to see whalers get sonic boomed by the sperm whales
You do understand that theses animals are placid coz their insulation right ? Moving any fast would kill them by heat retention.
The interesting behavior prolly occurs at temps and pressure that are lethal to human. Squids are fast moving and clever, right ? How theses placids giants manage to snag squids is the real question
😍😍💖😍BEAUTIFUL gentle giant natural gift could teach mean people to respect all GOD CREATURES animals and human too.👍☯👍☯👍☯✌✌
And here I always thought sperm whales had plates and not teeth🤔🤔
ធម្មជាតិពិតជាស្រស់បំព្រង។ប៉ុន្តែមនុស្សយើងតែងតែបំផ្លាញធម្មជាតិហើយមិនដឹងខ្លួនថាខ្លួនឯងគឺជាអ្នកបំផ្លាញធម្មជាតិដ៏សកម្មទៅទៀតចាត់ទុកថាខ្លួនឯងជាមនុស្សអស្ចារ្យទៅវិញ។Nature is so beautiful, but we often naturally destroy nature and do not realize that it is an active nature destroyer, self-esteem.

We humans are the worst evolutionay mistake, killing and wiping off so many beautiful creations!
Hangin' around with a mama and her calf is probably not without risk...
Don't these swimmers ever get attacked by such powerful aquatics?

I love Spermatic whales! 😀
First
Edit: Dammit thanos
Haha
Cachalots can die of dehydration also

Why is it so big 🤔
Because it's a whale
@@Jason-..- how many years of whale life
I wish I could have a close encounter with a sperm whale.
They can climax wat?!?!?
National Pornographic is all about that...
母系単位で子育てします。肺呼吸のため海面近くで仮眠しますが、しばしば息継が必要です。仮眠中の彼らは５，６本の柱が立っている様です。最も眠らない哺乳類です。音を通して世界を確認しています。クリック音の反響で獲物の位置、大きさ、形を認識出来、一方獲物のイカはクリック音を捉えられません。９０分に一度海面に上がり息継ぎが必要です。
This is amazing but the scariest thing is that these could actually eat you
it has a small throat. it cant swallow you.
It's funny how we tend to personify animals. Particularly our pets and especially those animals that have social relationships.
Whalenity.
Do they harvest whales to eat
Meet too
