Why Orcas Encounter Sperm Whales and Walk Away

A documentary investigation into why sperm whales occupy a category of their own among ocean apex predators. The video unpacks the marguerite defensive formation that repels orca attacks, the 230-decibel biological sonar cannon built into the whale's skull, the extreme deep-diving physiology that lets them hunt at 2,250 meters, and the coda communication network that makes even solitary males a collective threat. The central argument: sperm whales did not become unkillable by being the biggest — they became unkillable by being the most engineered.
