HABITS
The sperm whale is a sociable animal that lives in groups. The group structure varies according to the age and sex of the whale. Males generally live apart from females. The females form groups together with their young, numbering from five to thirty animals. There are also smaller bachelor pods of young, non-breeding whales as well as the much larger harem groups consisting of many females, young, and a dominant, sexually mature bull.
The whales swim, dive, feed, and sleep together within their group. They also have a language of sonar clicks with which to communicate.
In summer, the whales migrate to feed in the Arctic and Antarctic.
