And it's looking directly at you. Sperm whales are the largest predators on Earth. They produce the loudest sound of any animal alive. They have bigger brains than anything that has ever existed. And they share our oceans with us every single day. So why don't they kill us? Sources: a. Whitehead, H. — Sperm Whales: Social Evolution in the Ocean, https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/... b.
