SPERM WHALES 'ADOPT' DEFORMED DOLPHIN

- This video depicts a very rare interaction between sperm whales and an adult bottlenose dolphin with a spinal malformation (i.e. scoliosis). This represents the first time this type of non-agonistic (friendly) interaction has been recorded for sperm whales. We published a description of these interactions in the scientific journal "Aquatic Mammals".
Wilson, A.D.M. and Krause, J. 2013. Repeated non-agonistic interactions between a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in Azorean waters . Aquatic Mammals, 39:89 - 96.
The title of this video is taken from the title chosen for the first media article on this encounter which was published in Science News.

This is a summary of our note - in scientific jargon ;)
Mixed species groups are a well-known phenomenon in cetaceans, but difficulties associated with studying these interactions in marine habitats has limited the available amount of data and literature on this topic, particularly with regard to the functional bases of such interactions. While these associations can vary dramatically in duration (i.e. minutes to years), they are thought to convey a variety of benefits to the species involved including antipredator, foraging, or social benefits among others. Here we describe repeated non-agonistic interactions between a single bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) with a vertebral column malformation (i.e. scoliosis) and a group or groups of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in Azorean waters. To our knowledge, this study represents the first observations of a non-agonistic mixed-species interaction involving P. macrocephalus. Based on our observations, we suggest social factors represent the most likely causal mechanism for the described interactions, although foraging and antipredator mechanisms are also considered.
NOTE: Special permission was granted to our research group to observe, film and swim with these whales by the Azorean government.

Props to that tough little guy for making it to adulthood even with such a drastic spinal deformity!
possibly an accident.. no way he could hunt

@@mook3204 lol there's thousands upon thousands of creatures there I'm sure there's something he found to eat. Crabs, shrimp, and clams are just a few.
whales are well known for altruism documented by many scientists. they even save seals and humans from sharks. i love whales may you live long
@Ag Agios or some Norway guys😢
The Japanese do seem to be the worst when it comes to slaughtering whales and dolphins... But regardless of nationality humans are clearly incapable of properly managing the resources of the oceans. Damn shark fin trade is out of control...
Karina Peters what’s does pay have to do with happiness or greed?
Karina Peters research actually show otherwise. Money is by no means a source of happiness. In fact wealth actually can contribute to depression. Think about the nice things you’ve bought. How long do they make you happy? I’ve had above average cars and rubbish cars. There’s no relation to happiness. Happiness stems from yourself. You need to decide to be happy. If you unhappy you can change that. More wealth or a better pay Cheque is not going to change it permanently.
Ag Agios the Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil

Dolphin says hi everybody and whales say shoot to late to swim let’s just bring it down where a giant squid can take care of it for us
'Deformed dolphin' the cartoon I don't know how to feel about
For anyone curious, I want you to imagine how much this pod of sperm whales are sacrificing. I say this because these whales feed in the deep abyss which that dolphin definitely cannot survive. Plus, dolphins can only hold their breath for 10 minutes tops whereas the whiles can go without oxygen for 90 minutes! This is a phenomenal thing to witness!
I thought the same thing, but they can communicate over hundreds of miles so it wouldn’t be much of a problem
@@thurston383 yeah the dolphin might've even found a way to communicate with the whales over distances or follows their sounds when they dive.
What if these whales just came back up for air, and the dolphin found them? And the diver was just luckely in the right place and time to witness 2 different species playing together? And when the divers are gone the whales go back to doing their own thing and the dolphin alone again? I dont doupt intelligence in these animals, but I cant seem to belive that these whales would go against their natural instinct to be in deep water and feeding there🤷🏾♀️
Maybe the dolphin just craves to be with more animals and tries it's best to keep up, and when it cant go any deeper it tries using echolocation to find them again, but eventually he wont find them again?
@@LuckeyClover yep 100% possible, unless they’re tracking them we don’t know, but I doubt doubt the dolphin knows where they are even when they are deep down, miles down and could just follow them
@@LuckeyClover I'd even assume the whales to feed him to some point
That dolphin probably felt so lonely when his pod just swam too fast for him until they were gone forever. Got himself a true family now though! 😭
Awww, that actually might be true. And the fact that dolphins can kill themselves might prove that point.
@be triggered. Dolphins can do suicide?!
@Randy Wilson this story about animal suicide is nonsense. And Kathy the dolphin didn't drown itself on Porpoise.
👁️🙏🌫️🐋🐋🐋🐬🐋🐋💙💞💞💞💞💞💞
@Anthony Martin .... your not getting the point as a species we take and take and take like a plague with endless needs and we continue to kill so much and make animals extinct for what thinking there bad cause they killed something animals kill and eat and such when necessary they take what they need but as a species even if we get our fill we continue to take and kill and expand and make more homes for ourselves and live the animals that have been here before us in the dust with no where to survive
THIS BLOWS MY MIND. This dolphin could never keep up with his own kind since they swim so fast. But he can keep up with the slower swimming whales and they love him and protect him from sharks. He found a new family. Makes me happy!
Exactly what i thought
The dolphin is deformed so maybe it was slower than other dolphins, might also be the same reason why it was left...glady it was adopted😊
@@jeffdelgado1909 You're right. This shows that animals have empathy for other species besides their own kind. I think it's very fascinating.
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj you're mean, 😢but unfortunately I thought the same thing and then I watched and had hope . maybe they think it's a baby whale that got stranded, let's hope so.
Humpbacks are also known to protect dolphins. Sperm Wales are essentially giant dolphins. Divers exposed to those sonar clicks have developed elevated body temperatures and have had numb hands
For people wondering the dolphin actually has scoliosis
That dolphin looks healthy otherwise. But without the ability to swim with high agility I can’t see how it’s survived this long. The pod of Sperm Whales must have actually adopted it and helped feed it.
@@411bvRGiskard true
@@411bvRGiskard That would be incredible, as sperm whales dive to great depths where the dolphin can't follow, maybe they bring some food back to the dolphin. I find this video very cool and i am intrigued how the dolphin survives with the whales.

Your comment is very arrogant. Their brain would take half of your body, their language is far more complicated than ours. That innocent remark of yours is just condescending to anyone who knows a little about whales.

@@jeskeepinitreal I don't know much but it is a male dolphin, researchers confirmed. Just a lil tidbit
They are little lovers! Just like doggos!
I think the whale bit the dolphin and made him like that. Snidey fuckers they are really.
The question here is.. how did the filming man record all that without blowing his ears with the whale's sound 👀
I heard that they are louder than a lunched rocket
Im sure it gets really unpleasant after awhile
He probably wasnt in the water, you can se the surface and that he isnt perfect with the angle
Sorry all, I pop in and out in terms of comments. Yes, I was in the water and no it doesn't get unpleasant really. While sperm whales can have extremely strong 'vocalizations', this is thought to be mainly for hunting at depth, at the surface the strength is much less, it feels like being near a speaker, but not a crazy rock speaker, just a gentle feeling I'd say, and the clicks and whistles etc, are more general than you would have with head phones at high volume.
I too watch daily dose of internet
They CAN be louder than a rocket launch, but they also probably know they'd kill us if they do.
Imagine being a whale and some scientists discovers you and he decides your name will be the "SPERM WHALE"
"wow, look at all this weird white stuff in its head, it's CLEARLY jizz." -horny dumbass 1700s sailor guy
Historically they were called Spermaceti whales. Spermaceti is the waxy stuff found in their heads.
I'm sure the whale couldn't care less.
I guarantee you the person who named it was an A-Sexual and the other scientists rolled with it

Brilliant! Lmao
I would imagine the dolphin initiated this as it could not keep up with a dolphin pod and the whales being slower provide it with safety.
It is very likely the dolphin initiated this encounter, they are quite famous for forming mixed species groups and being very social. Similarly, keeping up with calves is also likely less hectic than a pod of dolphins, so perhaps!
+Alexander Wilson Irrawaddy dolphin
sure the dolphin initiated it,BUT the whales didn't have to put up with her,if they didn't want to.
The funny thing is Sperm whales and dolphin actually have comparable speeds.

Aren’t dolphins more intelligent though so shouldn’t it be the other way around?
@@Deck_Z They have basically the same intelligence. Sperm whales are also one of the smartest animals and have the largest brain ever.
@@Deck_Z Dolphins are also more vicious, especially against other whale and dolphin species. Guarantee you if the roles were reversed, the whale would be dinner.
dangg... those clicks they make must be really loud
Spermwhales produce enough sound to literally shake you to death and Burst your eardrums
The video owner already explained (somewhere on a topcomment)
It wasn that loud, like if a speaker is near you -not a punk rock speaker.
Its like using your earphones with full volume he said (or something like that, just look for the real com,ent its better)
You actually feel it threw your bones, when they talk hurts your ears heh. Naui almost three decades diving with them =)

Loved the video in its true setting without background music.
NowOclock But how are we to know what to feel without being told?!
Agreed! Some people cannot live without music and completely ignore the sounds of nature. Sometimes you have to listen to the music nature creates.
Their clicking is actually so loud it's made some divers go temporarily deaf.
@Adam Buentello ummm it is actually true - sound propagates much better through water and sperm whales click at 236 dBs, almost twice the volume of a jumbo jet taking off. They are the loudest animals on earth (officially).
@Adam Buentello here is James Nestor stating that people have had temporary hearing loss from sperm whale echolocation (plus actual audio of their clicks - warning, it's loud). th-cam.com/video/zsDwFGz0Okg/w-d-xo.html
Sarah Riedel, you’re absolutely right!
Blue whales are the loudest on the planet.
@@deathbycheese850 sorry, false:
"The blue whale is not the loudest animal on Earth, despite what you may have learned in school. While its calls are claimed to be louder than a jet engine at take-off, clocking in at an impressive 188 decibels (dB), the sperm whale is actually louder: its communicative clicks have been measured at 230 dB." www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160331-the-worlds-loudest-animal-might-surprise-you
Dolphin: mum, am I adopted?
Sperm whale: whatever gives you that idea?
Dolphin: just a hunch
"You're weird looking one,but i take you as my kid"

It's just goes to show the compassion and intelligence that they have. People could learn a great deal from animals,birds, mammals.

Facts
And that’s why I love whales more than my own species...
Axel F it’s pretty uncommon all things considered, and when it actually DOES happen, it’s almost always normal bodied blonde hair blue eyed babies that are the ones adopted
The fact that this was even caught on camera is astounding!!💖
This is fascinating. I wonder if the two species can understand each others' speech and if they are learning to 'speak' each others' language.
Different species of cetaceans have been known to learn each other's languages. One orca named Shouka who lived with only dolphins for companions for quite a few years has learned to make dolphin vocalizations.
Mary Rhudy Although there is a lot of information being passed along through vocalizations, my guess is that much of sea mammal communication is through body language. Just like with humans. In my underwater adventures I've learned to speak with my body and interpret what theirs are saying as I attempt to photograph or interact with them. A calm mind does wonders for having sea life approach me. I'm not naieve enough to assume it's animal ESP so I've always assumed it's just body language.
Silver Raven Yes, they're the largest species of Dolphin.
DINDRAGON +
Freediving Fanatic But both whales and dolphins use ultra sounds that we can't hear to communicate. You can hear in the video soft and loud clicks. My guess is that the low ones are the whales, and the loud ones are from the dolphin. The dolphin has learned to speak to these whales by mimicking their sounds as best as it can. No it can't do the massive moans that whales do, but they still can speak through sound to tell each other apart. I do agree that their motions also communicate things (possibly etiquette) to both whales and dolphins, but both species use sound as their main method of communication and navigation. Just a bit (okay, a LOT) of info for you, not trying to fully disagree. Hope you have a great day today!

How about proving some intelligence in humans first.

Incredible footage! Very interesting and touching.
My dad has swam with the sperm whales and he said the clicking is like 4000000 times louder than what you can hear here

I actually had to put my sound down listening to them. It’s remarkable on how they use echolocation to communicate and find food, predators etc. I’ve seen others comment about it and I’m just amazed at how loud and deadly it can be.
yeah their cliciking is loud enough to kill humans if continuous and at its loudest.
they're the most loudest species they can generate clicks with a volume from up to *240db* ...a spaceshuttle lauch ~200db.and my neighbors got an interim bleeding and bitching around when i'm using my tablesaw on my open-air workshop at the balcony with only 94db 🤔 with the ear protectors it's barely hearable to me 😂😂

What a beautiful sight, humpback whales have also been seen in the Caribbean giving "rides" to dolphins. The dolphin lays on the whale's head which it then lifts out of the water and the slides down the whale's back and into the water.Those who observed this behaviour believe it to be plays as there is no sign of distress from either animal.
Also both animals cooperate with each other whilst interacting.
Humpback whales will put everything on the line to protect those marine mammals smaller then themselves from mammal eating orca. They will even carry them away from the predators. Humpbacks and sperm whales have the largest brains on the planet, with a frontal cortex vastly larger than our own (the vast majority of their brain actually). It's the part of the brain that controls higher emotions... compassion, empathy, altruism etc.. They actually have more of those qualities than we do. It's not surprising that these sperm whales have done this, and I wouldn't mind betting it's been done many, many times before. It's just that nobody's seen it before. It's also not surprising that humpbacks will fight orca head-on for species they have no vested interest in saving. But then again as a Christian I believe that God breathes these high emotional qualities into whales as they personify those particular aspects of Him who made them.

Whales are the most loving & protective beings on this earth. They know so much.

Says the Borg always
it's remarkable that a disabled dolphin can survive for so long!
That is the most precious thing I've seen
One of them even helped him/her to the surface to breathe.
It fills my heart ❤ with joy to know that dolphin ain't alone.. nature's brutal as it is..
Great video, shows how social whales are. I smiled today...
This makes me happy seeing him happy with his new family.
This is truly one of the most endearing encounters I've ever seen! Thank you for making this available 😊
I remember 15yrs ago it was hypothesized if animals we're capable of emotion this goes to show animals can be more compassionate then some humans.

To NOT Already see emotions in animals I have observed, reflects the mind and emotions of the observer. I remember this kind of statement as a child then I observed animals and saw, then I went back to those who taught me that and found the error. It's a spiritual thing
@Barbazboub- No, what I'm saying is that throughout history since time began animals had emotions. If you're mind is barbarous, so are your eyes. If you kill without feeling because you think an animal or that which is different than you is worthless and you have the Arrogant right to kill it, such a person and People are blinded to the emotions of both animals and other people. A spiritually awakened person doesn't need studies and science to see that. If it takes science to bring you humanness and ability to see joy, smiles, love, attachment, family and not just "instinct" (something else I was taught as a child by lost teachers) than one needs to conclude that something is wrong with the observers. Owners of dogs and cats have been a great source of education to open the eyes of the blind towards these truths. And... I say this as a scientist... I hope that it is clear. I apologise for the confusion as my original second sentence was in reference to the post not my first sentence. Do enjoy the light that the virus is bringing you and the world... Make room in your heart and spaces for animals and plants. Earth is not just for humans nor one group of humans.
King Doc Nothing to do with "spiritual awakening". Some animals can express complex emotions. Others don't. Some are altruistic, others aren't.
It's science.
Mister K the whole point of his comment is that you should treat everything with the same level of respect and love, as animals reflect who you are as a person treating another living thing. The point isn’t that some animals are dumb and that makes it ok to exploit them or that they don’t suffer or whatever other justification for our use of that animal, it’s that the way you treat any animal reflects characteristics about you and that you should be compassionate to all animals as it is a representation to yourself to be compassionate
@@Parpeing Im sorry but I dont believe that I dont doubt what you said is correct but humans are the only creature who is able to show as much empathy as us humans can we humans can also show the greatest love out of all the animals in the animal kingdom you can't show the greatest love without showing the greatest empathy it's still not clear if animals are even capable of empathy
