Sperm whales gather up to help birthing mothers and babies.
@ablerism Wow. Thanks for this. Also reminds me of something I read in Peter Wayne Moe’s book Touching This Leviathan. He quotes the historian Philip Hoare: “It was only after we had seen the Earth from orbiting spaceships that the first free-swimming whale was photographed underwater. The first underwater footage of sperm whales, off the coast of Sri Lanka, was not taken until 1984; our images of these huge placid creatures moving gracefully and silently through the ocean are more recent than the use of personal computers.”
