named for the valuable spermaceti oil (wax) that it produces in the spermaceti organ (located in its head) scientists believe this organ is used in maintaining buoyancy and enables the whales to dive to such profound depths they also believe this substance is involved in producing the powerful acoustic clicks the whales use for echo-location and to stun their prey can dive to extreme depths and hold their breath for long periods of time hunt giant squid that live on the ocean bottom at great depths also eat fish, octopus and skate most live over 70 years ENDANGERED Sperm Whale Video
