Pat Bastard and the Spurious 5 To whalers, Moby was a destructive evil monster, but to other sperm whales he was a superhero. If you noticed in the book, Moby Dick didn’t even attack any wailers or whaling ships unless they attacked him or they were attacking other sperm whales. This actually is a true fact about sperm whales. Look up “Mochs Dick”, Who was the true inspiration behind Herman Melville‘s book. He was also a white whale in real life, and he survived over 100 encounters with whales and he even destroyed 20 ships similar to Pequod. He like the fictional character based on him were considered “violent creatures“, especially by the wailers that enjoyed hunting them down including killing young calves just to attract other sperm whales in to protect it so they could harpoon them. makes you think a little bit differently about the book and about Moby doesn’t it? 🐳
eastlake93 Well, actually, spermaceti was called that because originally, people thought it was the whale's semen. Your 10 year old doesn't need to know that bit.
well, in our land in Belgium they call it 'Potvis' so thats another stupid name. Sperwhales are my favorite of all whale species. And i just bought the novel Moby Dick few days ago.
Tell me that thing isn't intelligent. It's not mindlessly swimming around like a fish. It's actually curious about the small creatures swimming around it. Incredible video.
***** actually the head to body ratio is the important difference... for example blue whales have massive brains but also a massive body, we have quite a big brain but not such a big body so our head to body ratio is bigger than that of a whale... humans have the biggest brain in relation to the body of all living animals.
Knapweed ups, sorry my last sentence was wrong, ants have the largest brain compared to their body but its still a useful way to measure intelligence, even though its quite inaccurate
Jack Müller I think our theories about intelligence need challenging to be honest. An amoeba displays similar intelligence and complexity of behaviour to an ant with 250,000 neurons, however, an amoeba is only comprised of one cell. There's no brain or central nervous system or any processing component that we can determine. We say humans are intelligent but we really mean society is intelligent and so are we "by association". A human raised without contact with human society would be as dumb as a plank, no language, no symbolism, no history. Basically, a Raven, raised under the same circumstances, would run rings around the poor, pathetic creature.
Knapweed well, when i mean intelligence i dont just mean language, history or symbolism. i also mean the ability to think, self-awereness and learning for example... and i dont think that a human raised without human contact, would not be able to learn, think etc.... so even raised under such conditions a human would still be more intelligent than any other animal imo :) btw, i didnt mean to say that the head to body ratio is the way i define or measure intelligence i know its far more complex than that.
I really am surprised that killer whales don't see humans as food, particularly since EVERY other creature it encounters IS seen as food (including land creatures like polar bears and moose crossing rivers)... There is literally nothing that doesn't have to worry about orcas (except humans, for some reason)... The absence of orca predation on humans really is something surprising. Maybe orcas are smart enough to know that eating humans will lead to bad consequences for the orca species in the long run.....
+joshua hatfield a sperm whale is the largest toothed whale in the wild they are known to live very deep in the ocean and come to the surface to breath these whales are told to be aggressive but that's false video that say like sperm whale attack are actually false it's actually the whale feels threatened and frash around and the story of Moby dick is no different but they are great
Someone who truly loved whales would never touch or swim next to one. Have some respect for the animal and leave it alone. In my opinion people who do things like this are just as bad as whale hunters, they both use these beautiful creatures for money and bragging rights.
As far as i know, whales are more likely to be harassed by boats, than swimmers. Its fine as long as the swimmer doesn't harass or harm the whale in any fashion.
Another nature's wonder that is so beautiful it makes me wanna cry just looking at it. So huge yet so fragile. Hope we can do our best to protect them.
What a tense moment for those divers. I mean Sperm Whales are massive (50 ft or so) they can easily kill a person outright. This whale is very curious as most are but also amazingly docile. Just imagine a huge Leviathan like this getting close to you looking at you and trying to figure out what you are. It's breathtaking, Whales are such fascinating creatures and we humans kill them without any remorse it's disgusting.
I had an encounter much like this with a humpback whale while I was in combat diving school in the army. I didn't get any pictures.....but it was possibly THE most amazing moment in my life. It just came right up to me and looked me in the eye. Dead in the eye. And then I touched it and it moved closer to me. One of my most cherished memory.
+anthony pizzi for some unknown reason cetaceans don't view us as a food source. Even WILD orcas who are the most ruthless hunters on the planet, have never been documented deliberately killing a person.
+Brett Perry Unfortunately at least one orca in captivity has killed two people. Not for food, though; perhaps from the stress of long-term captivity. Watch the film Blackfish, that aired on CNN a few months ago.
Francesco Brosolo Some people fear these whales because they're big predators that's all. I don't think they're monsters, but I don't really believe in killing them either.
I keep coming back to this video. There's something awesome about such a large possibly dangerous creature reacting in such a kind way towards people...and the music seems to go with that feeling perfectly...sort of mysterious and amazing.
so now i know what this creatures are majestic, sure it will take your breathe away if you encouter one and be able to touch it and swim alongside of them
I would never touch a sperm whale, or any animal a hundred-ish times heavier than me. It could easily interpret it as an threat. And I wouldn't get one the bad side of such an animal. Or the half a dozen pod members who are present in the waters around.
to bad for you, if i have a chance i will be the first to touch one, and so these the dudes on the multiple videos about whales are dead? obviously you must do with caution, know when you can get near em, even a stray cat can be harmful if you dont know what you are doing, so you wont be swinming with whales without a expert givin you some advice, dont you?
Believe me, being a sperm cell is much worse. You don't know if you are going to make it to be a fetus. You have to question when swimming out of the dickhole, if it is some 14 year old loser, or if it is someone having sex. And if it is someone having sex, you have to pray that it is to get pregnant, and once you come up, you are either dead in a condom or tissue, or in a vagina, and still, you are still competing with thousands of other men, who were once your friends, now hoping they die. It is rough. I pity those who stay back, those who do not have the bravery to go over the top, and instead want to stay a sperm cell. And who forgets the nut blast, there is not protecting yourself. You have to know where to be. Trust me kid, you have nothing to worry about.
Fear is teached on a daily basis..............to keep you away from living and being free to live your life. The word WILD is used to keep you away from the word LIBERTY........... you could get bad thoughts of freedom and become conscious of being the slave of evil rulers and their laws to control you, to surveil you and make and keep you dependent on them and their slave system................... Freedom and self sufficiency are a crime........and stay away from the wild and not to interact ( to protect wildlife ) is law..........these are all lies and the brainwashed will defend the law.............the law of their slavery .
It looks a bit small, I wonder if it's still a calf? That would explain how it seemed to be curious. I would have been terrified since I understand sperm whales (specially males) can be very aggressive, but this one seems quite friendly. Very few people in the world have this kind of experience, amazing!
+Andy AM It could be either a young half-grown one, or an adult or near-adult female. The females average only about half the size of the males, and usually do not exceed forty feet.
Dondragmer If it's a cow than it is possible she has grown used to humans, I would love to see a live sperm whale, they're remarkable creatures, maybe some day...
god, god, god, god, god, god, god.............. god everywhere, god here, god over there.... Man, try to believe in the world itself. The world is enough, really.
man, not seeing giant creatives, just going underwater alone terrify me because i almost got drown while diving just 20 ft deep of water when i was a teen. since then, i have phobia to deep water.
Wow, my heartrate went up just from seeing it on tape, can't imagine the feeling in real life. But aren't spermwhales dangerous? I tought they were fairly agressive, good to know they aren't :)
Yes, Whales are unique and wonderful creatures that deserve respect. So, sad people still hunt them for profit. You can see this whale is curious of humans. Such a amazing experience caught on video. I can only hope the killing of Whales will stop.
Brian Griffin- The point is Sperm Whales are one of the largest warm blooded mammals on our planet that do not hunt for profit. Whales only kill to eat and not for sport, financial gain, or their ego's. Only man go's out of his way to kill things just for their own gain. This also includes killing other humans as well. There will come a day when the killing of whales will not longer be tolerated. It is just a matter of time.
Brian Griffin- Comparing a whale to a fish is foolish. Like a bus to a toy car. Tell me just how much whale meat have you eaten? Deer on land also cannot be compared to tons of ocean whales harvested just for cheap oil products. I have over 100 deer roaming my Alabama ranch with all kinds of other game as well. I do not care to hunt any of them. I go out to a good steak house to get a good meal once a week. I am not into home butchering. I guess I am to domesticated and refined to. I do not see the need kill any animals on my land. I choose to feed them instead. But, I do have relatives who beg me every year to hunt on my land.
+JDM Dealers I have eaten whale meat before. there are entire communities who rely on hunting whale for meat to feed themselves and have been doing it for over a thousand years. guess you want them to just change their ways or starve. killing a living thing is killing a living thing. just because you like whales more than fish or think their more important doesn't make it a moral fact that killing whale is wrong. I personally have never hunted in my life. I'm not so self-righteous as to say that makes me "more refined". its just not something I'm interested in doing. there's nothing wrong with hunting and people who do are not less refined than us.
I know how it feels. In the doldrums our small boat was surrounded by a pod of Sperm Whales. Our digitally remastered documentaries will be released by our website 600 Days to Cocos Island. I had the honor of going overboard with them.
They have a waxy white substance in their heads called spermacetti, named for it's resemblance to semen. Spermacetti is not only exclusive to sperm whales, but it is actually the most valuable part of the sperm whale as well. This is why they were the most hunted type of whale in the past.
Either they recognize our intelligence somehow by our movements and how we approach them, or they do this to every large non-prey animal that comes near them and doesn't attack. Either way it's amazing
There is no way they would be welcoming humans after all the brutal hunting
11 ปีที่แล้ว
Since i've read Herman Melville's Moby Dick and watched the Disney's Pinocchio movie i tought with myself: "This was the most fascinating animal i've ever seen!" and from these days on, i still fascinated by this whale specie. (sorry for the bad english)
That whale's simply trying to save the little guy by telling him, "Hey kid, it's not safe out here, go home. I've got a colossal squid to battle" but the guy doesn't wanna leave so the whale's like, "fuck that I'm outta here, I ain't saving you"
The biggest toothed predator on the planet and the only whale that could actually eat a human (besides orcas I guess, but they're actually dolphins), but instead it just chills with the divers and seems to have a cool demeanor. I love whales
I might be wrong, but i think that whale wants a belly rub. I can see it’s tryna show the divers its belly. An instinct that every other mammals always have.

This is Moby Dick's more friendly cousin, Moby Pretty Cool Guy.
Yes but was Moby Dick ever in the wrong? Crazy Ahab sought out that whale to fulfill his lust for vengeance.
is moby dick from the sharky game?
somewhat yeah lol
moby *DICK* lmao

Of all the names they could have given this magnificent beast.
The name comes from a substance in the whale's head called Spermaceti that was used in candles and as a machine lubricant
Thanks Iron Man, I appreciate the explanation, now I can explain it to my 10 year old without embarrassment.
eastlake93
Well, actually, spermaceti was called that because originally, people thought it was the whale's semen. Your 10 year old doesn't need to know that bit.
well, in our land in Belgium they call it 'Potvis' so thats another stupid name.
Sperwhales are my favorite of all whale species. And i just bought the novel Moby Dick few days ago.
Neta Bolt Just finished it... great start and end but generally not a good novel! Great book about whales though!.....

Not true. Humans have the same brain to body ratio as a mouse. Small birds and shrews have a greater brain to body ratio than humans.

whales are truly gentle giants.
+Ben Whoever When they kill you (if they kill you) they aren't but yeah lets go with that.
+Ben Whoever have you even heard of a killer whale
Killer whales aren't considered whales I think.
More like Killer Dolphins.
I really am surprised that killer whales don't see humans as food, particularly since EVERY other creature it encounters IS seen as food (including land creatures like polar bears and moose crossing rivers)... There is literally nothing that doesn't have to worry about orcas (except humans, for some reason)...

The only bad thing about this video was that it was too short.
The only people who disliked this are whale hunters
Or maybe other divers who know enough to not get close to them. Many countries have rules about giving them space and privacy.
Someone who truly loved whales would never touch or swim next to one. Have some respect for the animal and leave it alone. In my opinion people who do things like this are just as bad as whale hunters, they both use these beautiful creatures for money and bragging rights.
Nothing wrong with swimming with whales because if the whale didn't want you around them then it would swim away.
As far as i know, whales are more likely to be harassed by boats, than swimmers. Its fine as long as the swimmer doesn't harass or harm the whale in any fashion.
Scruppers im just scared of whales
Another nature's wonder that is so beautiful it makes me wanna cry just looking at it. So huge yet so fragile. Hope we can do our best to protect them.
agung purnomo Fragile it is not, my friend.
agung purnomo I thought I was the only one feeling like a softy while watching this. 😢 Sperm whales are one of my favorite animals.
agung purnomo stop talking about my penis.
And to think that in Moby Dick they are portrayed as malicious and destructive. Neat animals...
+omgtkseth Because, when angered, they can kill people. These things eat colossal squid, sharks and large fish.
+omgtkseth It can bite you in half.
omgtkseth if you read moby dick the whale was vengful for all the whales the whale killers had taken.
joseph melton no. I read it and there was nothing like this
No they aren't.
What a tense moment for those divers. I mean Sperm Whales are massive (50 ft or so) they can easily kill a person outright. This whale is very curious as most are but also amazingly docile. Just imagine a huge Leviathan like this getting close to you looking at you and trying to figure out what you are.

They are less than fifty feet
DarkSektori Speak for yourself, I'm not killing any whales.
+biffson jr We humans I ment. seriously sighs*
+DarkSektori Yeah, really. The humans is the worst creatures of the world for me.
difference between hunting whales and hunting deer or fishing?
What an absolutely amazing, beautiful, incredible creature. Whale videos make me cry.
Swiming with orcas , raulbuzo chanel
I had an encounter much like this with a humpback whale while I was in combat diving school in the army. I didn't get any pictures.....but it was possibly THE most amazing moment in my life. It just came right up to me and looked me in the eye. Dead in the eye. And then I touched it and it moved closer to me. One of my most cherished memory.
It's possibly the cutest giant I have ever seen.
What are you talking about? That thing is agly as hell
Bradley c price you need Jesus in your life, damn i look good!
ahhhhhhh he's smiling :D
Sperm Whales are my favorite type of whale! I really hope these whales never go extinct!!!! I would be so pissed!!!!
It must be amazing to swim close to and come face to face with the largest carnivore on the planet Earth.
and then when it eats you
How adorable, he/she was totally curious about the divers.. And very polite! What a beautiful, magnificent creature!
Fucking amazing.. But I would literally be having a heart attack if I was that close in the water with the thing. How are they not fucking terrified.
+Doogie Spence I know right? And considering they aren't plankton eaters, they eat giant squid, that dude would of just been an appetizer lol
+anthony pizzi for some unknown reason cetaceans don't view us as a food source. Even WILD orcas who are the most ruthless hunters on the planet, have never been documented deliberately killing a person.
+anthony pizzi They also eat colossal squid and smaller squid, such as Humboldt squid.
+Brett Perry Unfortunately at least one orca in captivity has killed two people. Not for food, though; perhaps from the stress of long-term captivity. Watch the film Blackfish, that aired on CNN a few months ago.
yes they have
I feel good when I see this, I see this when I am sad, I always come here to see this when I am sad.
Juveniles of all species are inevitably more curious and less wary than adults.
Alan Foster Stranger danger.
This was so beautiful-- the whale was so calm and seemed curious about the the divers. What a wonderfully majestic scene!
Large (80 ft. +) bull Sperm whales, are the true king of the seven seas.
They don't get that big idiot
how insane is it that you can just swim up to all of the largest apex predators on the plannet and it's effectively totally safe.
It just proves how intelligent they are
Majestic beasts.
love the music :)
There isn't a more magnificent creature on Earth.
Why's your pfp John Wilkes Boothe tho?
What kind of idiot could think of this magnificient creatures as "monsters"? They are so fascinating..
But Moby Dick was a sperm whale and they also eat giant squids as well, also since when were monsters not fascinating
Moby Dick is a fictional character..
Francesco Brosolo Some people fear these whales because they're big predators that's all. I don't think they're monsters, but I don't really believe in killing them either.
Francesco Brosolo this thinks are pretty dangerous. They were cases when they killed whalers and even sunken whalers ships
Just incredible
The whale seemed to be happy and playful like a dolphin almost... I thought they were a the more aggressive type of whale.
Dolphins are rapists.
The humpbacks get the glory for their singing ability, but the sperm whale has been my favorite for many years. Such noble, awe-inspiring giants!
They are truly the kings of the sea no sea predator could take it on 1 on .
Magnificent. Now get out of it's house..
I read recently that Sperm Whales are the elders of our planet. I'd love to see the day when we learn to effectively communicate with one another.
Beautiful encounter between two species. The music reminds me of the Moonraker soundtrack.
That is one of the most best encounters ever especially with that music playing I wish I got a close encounter with a whale but idk which one
Whales are so beautiful and graceful! Even though they're incredibly huge, they swim with such a delicate swift.. This footage is amazing!
I keep coming back to this video. There's something awesome about such a large possibly dangerous creature reacting in such a kind way towards people...and the music seems to go with that feeling perfectly...sort of mysterious and amazing.
The majestic leviatan
Simply Beautiful
That near distance.. U just need one "click" to end yr life
Probably the most beautiful video on youtube.
Why do these videos make me cry? That’s magical
Wow. Absolutely awesome.
That is truly amazing!!!
It is way too pricey for you my dear friend !
Arent you dead? *spoiler alert
Walter White hey Walt how bout some blue meth? TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT!!
I love these whales
so now i know what this creatures are majestic, sure it will take your breathe away if you encouter one and be able to touch it and swim alongside of them
I would never touch a sperm whale, or any animal a hundred-ish times heavier than me. It could easily interpret it as an threat. And I wouldn't get one the bad side of such an animal.
Or the half a dozen pod members who are present in the waters around.

i swear a whale and dolphine smile is the most devious thing on the world but they are beautiful
The Sperm Whale is my favourite whale.
It looks very humorously and happy.
Every time when I see it, my mood gets better .

Why do Men hunt such beautiful creatures
Ikr stupid men, women rules
God Makes Beautiful things to look at everyday. However this is very extraordinary! Amen.
She doesn’t even look fully grown, so she’s probably just a juvenile in this video!
The music blends so well with this wonderful footage. 😊
just amazing looks like alien planet the water so empty and deep just amazing
Name of the song?
I'm honestly terrified of whales. Idk they're sooo cool but like when the sperm whale turned and faced the camera I freaked out
Believe me, being a sperm cell is much worse. You don't know if you are going to make it to be a fetus. You have to question when swimming out of the dickhole, if it is some 14 year old loser, or if it is someone having sex.

Daniel Guidos Same, and I know it's irrational like all phobias. It's enough to give me adrenaline like looking over a tall building.
Sean Croghan Right?!? Finally someone who gets it. Beautiful animals, but also very very terrifying
Fear is teached on a daily basis..............to keep you away from living and being free to live your life.
The word WILD is used to keep you away from the word LIBERTY...........
you could get bad thoughts of freedom and become conscious of being the slave of evil rulers and their laws to control you, to surveil you and make and keep you dependent on them and their slave system...................
Freedom and self sufficiency are a crime........and stay away from the wild and not to interact ( to protect wildlife ) is law..........these are all lies and the brainwashed will defend the law.............the law of their slavery .
i'm scared of anything bigger than me when i swim in the ocean
Amazingly graceful for such a huge creature. So nice I watched it twice.
It looks a bit small, I wonder if it's still a calf? That would explain how it seemed to be curious. I would have been terrified since I understand sperm whales (specially males) can be very aggressive, but this one seems quite friendly. Very few people in the world have this kind of experience, amazing!
I thought it was a cow? An adult bull is certainly too unpredictable to get this close to.
+Andy AM It could be either a young half-grown one, or an adult or near-adult female. The females average only about half the size of the males, and usually do not exceed forty feet.
Dondragmer If it's a cow than it is possible she has grown used to humans, I would love to see a live sperm whale, they're remarkable creatures, maybe some day...
This one also looked like it didn't have fully grown teeth either
It looks like a cow to me. She doesn't have battle scars and her teeth aren't real developed.
Amazing!!!, beautifull!!!.
I thought the sperm whale was going to eat them or something, I'm glad it didn't. That's a good boy! lol
She's cute! This whale is very curious and friendly.
be careful, their calls can literally rupture eardrums

This is a gentle animal that actually has feelings and thoughts
Creation is so beautiful. There is no need to ask why. It just is.
Gorge animal💙
how could any one kill that beautiful animal, i mean wtf humans
How could that whale kill such a beautiful creature as a squid? How could an eagle eat such a beautiful creature as a salmon?
wwhales - I dreamt of them all the time.
the curious part is that the whale seems as curious about the humans as the humans of her.. beautiful
man, not seeing giant creatives, just going underwater alone terrify me because i almost got drown while diving just 20 ft deep of water when i was a teen. since then, i have phobia to deep water.
+Ben Whoever "creatures"
i think its small whale not adult
it may be an adult female, males are much larger
I was thinking either that or perhaps a pygmy sperm whale.
Wow, my heartrate went up just from seeing it on tape, can't imagine the feeling in real life. But aren't spermwhales dangerous? I tought they were fairly agressive, good to know they aren't :)
definetely not aggressive =D
They are carnivores but they never ate a human... so they are gentle giants to us and besides they eat giant squid not humans
how can i get background music track
song nam plz
“They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all.”
That is some awesome footage. I've never had such a good look at the jaw of a sperm whale. It's nothing like I imagined it!
Yes, Whales are unique and wonderful creatures that deserve respect. So, sad people still hunt them for profit. You can see this whale is curious of humans. Such a amazing experience caught on video. I can only hope the killing of Whales will stop.
why specifically the killing of whales is what everyone freaks their shit about? people kill animals. animals kill animals....cry about it.

+JDM Dealers my point is, do you feel this strongly about people fishing? or hunting deer?
Brian Griffin- Comparing a whale to a fish is foolish. Like a bus to a toy car. Tell me just how much whale meat have you eaten? Deer on land also cannot be compared to tons of ocean whales harvested just for cheap oil products. I have over 100 deer roaming my Alabama ranch with all kinds of other game as well. I do not care to hunt any of them. I go out to a good steak house to get a good meal once a week. I am not into home butchering. I guess I am to domesticated and refined to.

these divers were so lucky, these animals are truly amazing, and would love to see them in the wild, love how curious he/she was about the humans
That had me spellbound. What a privilege.
Peace.
If this was in hungry shark evolution, things would not go so well...
Yes, isn't it. Mindblowingly, heartstrikingly beautiful.
as a grown male i almost cry when i see this... such beautiful creatures.
It's clear they all had a lot of respect for their fellow seamen.
I know how it feels. In the doldrums our small boat was surrounded by a pod of Sperm Whales. Our digitally remastered documentaries will be released by our website 600 Days to Cocos Island. I had the honor of going overboard with them.
i dont know if it me but i find mammals more beautiful than any other type of animal.
They have a waxy white substance in their heads called spermacetti, named for it's resemblance to semen. Spermacetti is not only exclusive to sperm whales, but it is actually the most valuable part of the sperm whale as well. This is why they were the most hunted type of whale in the past.
They often flip over on their bellies like that when they see humans. I believe it's a sort of welcoming gesture.
Either they recognize our intelligence somehow by our movements and how we approach them, or they do this to every large non-prey animal that comes near them and doesn't attack. Either way it's amazing
maybe they're mimicking divers
There is no way they would be welcoming humans after all the brutal hunting
Since i've read Herman Melville's Moby Dick and watched the Disney's Pinocchio movie i tought with myself: "This was the most fascinating animal i've ever seen!" and from these days on, i still fascinated by this whale specie. (sorry for the bad english)
Best thing on TH-cam: great whale videos!
Beautiful - clip is way too short. The music made it even more magical. Worth a million views, fer sure!
That whale's simply trying to save the little guy by telling him, "Hey kid, it's not safe out here, go home. I've got a colossal squid to battle" but the guy doesn't wanna leave so the whale's like, "fuck that I'm outta here, I ain't saving you"
Those little vortexes the big guy starts making (for them? accidentally? does it make a difference?) make the majesticness meter shoot off the scale
If he clicked that close to them it would probably blow their eardrums out
This 720p HD is truly staggering
That thing opened its mouth _way_ too much for me to feel comfortable. At the end, it looked like it was going after them.
The biggest toothed predator on the planet and the only whale that could actually eat a human (besides orcas I guess, but they're actually dolphins), but instead it just chills with the divers and seems to have a cool demeanor. I love whales
I might be wrong, but i think that whale wants a belly rub. I can see it’s tryna show the divers its belly. An instinct that every other mammals always have.
the music goes so well with this!!
That was f***ing majestic. I loved it.
Beautiful shot
