Here is a list of Causes of Death that have no definitions. Please help to define these terms. I found many of these terms during my research but most have come from the web pages I have listed on the links page. Some of the terms have been repeated from webpage to webpage without anyone actually checking the facts. A few are probably correct but most are just opinions .
The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus), or cachalot, is the largest of the toothed whales and the largest toothed predator. It is the only living member of genus Physeter, and one of three extant species in the sperm whale family, along with the pygmy sperm whale and dwarf sperm whale of the genus Kogia.he sperm whale can be found anywhere in the open ocean. Females and young males live together in groups while mature males live solitary lives outside of the mating season. The females cooperate to protect and nurse their young.
Like other toothed whales, sperm whales use echolocation to find their food. They create a series of high-frequency clicks through cavities in their skull. These clicking sounds reflect back off of fish, squid, and other animals, allowing the whale to virtually see in the dark.s with all whales, sperm whales are mammals and require air to breathe. They are one of the deepest diving mammals in the world, and are able to stay underwater for up to two hours before coming up for air. A sperm breaches the surface of the water to grab a breath of fresh air.
