The Wonder of Whales: Giants of the Deep | Documentary For Sleep

What is it like to share the ocean with the largest animals that have ever lived, and why do whales still remain so mysterious to us? In this calm documentary for sleep, we follow the giants of the deep through sound, scale, migration, memory, and the vast blue world they move through mostly beyond our reach. Learn why the blue whale’s body is almost impossible to comprehend, how whale songs were first discovered, why one lonely whale calls at 52 hertz, and how sperm whales descend into the dark to hunt giant squid in battles we have never seen. We also explore whale falls, grief and culture in cetaceans, migration routes passed from mother to calf, the long history of whaling, the silence left behind, the slow return of some populations, and the ancient bowhead whales that may live for two centuries.
