Veterinarians are conducting autopsies and studies on stranded whales, sperm whales, and dolphins along the French Riviera, providing valuable information for scientists about these deep-sea cetaceans.

Male sperm whales produce incredibly loud and regular clicking sounds, considered the loudest animal noise ever measured in the ocean. These sounds, believed to be related to mating, can travel up to 70 kilometers under favorable conditions.

Researchers have identified three previously unknown stomach bacteria in pygmy sperm whales after examining stranded whales along Florida's coast for over two decades. This discovery provides valuable insights into the health and biology of these elusive marine mammals.

East Mediterranean sperm whales have developed their own distinct, fast-paced dialects, separating them from their Western relatives, demonstrating that regional differences in 'accents' exist in the animal kingdom, not just among humans.

A new study reveals that groups of sperm whales on opposite sides of the Mediterranean Sea communicate using distinct dialects.

Researchers have detected distinct click patterns, or 'dialects,' among matriarchal groups of sperm whales on separate sides of the Mediterranean, which are used to form social structures.

A family of sperm whales has been spotted off the coast of Sanremo, Italy. This sighting marks a notable event for marine life in the area.

A new robot has been developed with the aim of tracking and understanding the conversations of sperm whales. This initiative seeks to advance research into marine communication.

A study by Project Ceti Settie has found that sperm whale communication closely parallels human language, observing whales supporting a birth through vocalisation. This suggests sperm whales possess an alphabet and communication system akin to human speech, despite sharing a common ancestor over 90 million years ago.

Rare video footage has emerged showing a group of ten female sperm whales cooperatively lifting a newborn calf to the ocean surface, enabling it to take its crucial first breath.

Drone videos and sound recordings have captured sperm whales in the Eastern Caribbean helping one another during a birth, with a group surrounding the mother and supporting the newborn's first breaths.

Several sperm whales that had washed ashore on shoals near Denmark's Fanø island in recent days have died, according to regional media reports.

Four sperm whales that stranded on Fanø island in Denmark have died, likely after getting lost on their migration south. Rescue efforts were unsuccessful.

On Sunday, all sperm whales on Fanø are confirmed dead. The jaws will be analyzed at the University of Copenhagen.

Sperm whales release bubbles to prevent themselves from floating to the surface while resting. This behavior counteracts their natural tendency to float due to spermaceti oil and expanding lung gases at shallower depths.

Scientists off the Caribbean island of Dominica have discovered that sperm whales change their 'vowel' sounds, a specific pattern of clicking noises, when marine traffic is nearby. This research highlights the impact of human activity on marine mammal communication.

Twitch streamer Maya Higa has announced her withdrawal from Kai Cenat's Streamer University 2026, citing a scheduling conflict with a long-standing conservation project focused on sperm whales.

Nearly two decades of acoustic recordings have revealed that sperm whales in the eastern and western Mediterranean Sea possess different vocalizations, suggesting they only interact with members of their own vocal clan.

A rare sighting of five sperm whales was captured on video off the coast of Lefkada, Greece. Passengers on a boat recorded the unique spectacle.

Despite sharing a common ancestor with humans over 90 million years ago, sperm whales appear to have an alphabet and communication system akin to human speech.

Marine biologists have documented how multiple adult female sperm whales surround a mother during birth and collectively help hoist the calf out of the water.

Scientists observed a unique event in July 2023 in the Caribbean where a birthing sperm whale was aided by ten other female whales in its group, a rare cooperative behavior now captured in an extraordinary video.

New film footage has for the first time documented sperm whales using powerful headbutts, a behavior previously only anecdotally reported in the 19th century when they allegedly sank whaling ships.

An autopsy performed on sperm whales could not determine the cause of their death, leaving the reason for their demise unexplained.
