Learn more about sleeping sperm whales on my website: spermwhalesdom...
There's something eerie about them just floating quietly in the depths
They are asleep but their tales keep them from sinking crazy huh
I think it's the fact that they are upright that's so disconcerting lol
@3,14 _ oh that's good
@@bigflockajon i wonder if they are just like dolphines when sleeping, half asleep, half awake
LeRa like floating pillars....
Edit: imagine walking into your house and seeing ten people standing while sleeping 😂😂
This is beautiful, serene and terrifying all at once
The words I was LITERALLY about to type.
Why terrifying?
Giant animal with many 20 cm teeth
For me it’s not the whales that are terrifying it’s the depths of the ocean,the blue abyss
Oh
I wouldn’t be afraid of those teeth, though. AFAIK no sperm whale has ever hurt a human with its teeth.
I’d be more worried about a stroke with their tail or a VERY loud ping with their sonar, both of which they use to fend off orcas’ attacks
Bottom line: I’d be happy and delighted to swim among those bobbing giants, as they are gentle
People are saying this is cute
Sperm whale: snores and sends a click towards the diver and vibrates them to death
@NateEh well i think he is more educated then you. Sperm whales are the loudest animals in the entire world. Their clicks they use are sound waves which in water are literal waves. They can click so loud and often that they use it to confuse their prey and it is theorized they could even kill a human this way. He did not say the diver died, he said ( as a joke, so not on,y are you uneducated but also have no humor ) it as a joke. Sperm whales could click loud snd kill you, so a snoring/ sleep clicking sperm whale could as well. Next time you want to be the smart guy, make sure you actually are.
Can you guys shut up, it’s a funny thing he said bro just leave it at that. Y’all grown as hell arguing for no reason bro
@NateEh You're not funny.
@NateEh go away troll
@NateEh You're being hypocritical. And a little dense, too. "Humor is opinion based". No doy, Sherlock, that's why I said what I said.
It's almost like watching something from another world.
Knowing they are kind of your doggo's cousins
Where do you think the scifi writers get their ideas? They depend on the uneducated and naive to sell their books and movies.
The ocean practically is another world. I wonder if this is what life is like on Europa?
It looks like something from Death Stranding
It might aswell be. The ocean is so diferent from our daily lives that considering it another world would not be farfetch'd
baby whale waking up: "mommy can I have a breathe of air?" "No! Go back to sleep!"
I think the group stays shallow so that the calves can soup for air more frequently. The calves are definitely more restless.
@@NaiaEnterprises1 ?? They were joking, lol. It's like when a kid asks for a glass of water in the middle of the night and their parent tells them to go back to bed.
@@hotcrazycatladyme168 let her be, ffs
lol
equivalent of "The kitchen is closed! "
Imagine being a sailor and accidentally falling off the ship and they see this...
Sea monsters tales
*Previously on ocean mysteries..*
I was a sailor, I saw whales, flying fishes, dolphins, jumped in the ocean at the equator. I’m a retired old dog walker now. Still having an awesome life w animals
That's how best tales get their start
I have Thalassophobia so id Prooly die 😬
My younger sister caught me watching this and asked me why I was watching potatoes underwater and now I can't unsee it
Dammit sam.
Welp....... imagine if she said why you watching poop underwater?....
How old is your sister?
@@hekutoru_2131 shes 16
bubbling potatoes
Everyone gangsta until the whale opens its eyes
😳😳😳
Nani
Eh they’re ok
literally laughed out loud.
I be swimming fast asf
My therapist: don’t worry, vertical whales don’t exist. They can’t hurt you
Vertical whales:
If your therapist doesn't even know about the vertical whales then you gotta get a new one bro
@@evan8771
vertical whales intensified*
They can't really hurt you tho unless you've made a grave mistake
@@MarsLonsen what if I made a grave mistake on my math exam?
Would I be in danger from these whales?
But fr just imagine
They move horizontally and sleep vertically, while we sleep horizontally and move vertically
Is that a challenge?
we dont move vertically
Actually they move vertically too, Sperm whales are known to be some of the best deep divers, often diving to a depth of thousands of meters in the pitch black ocean in order to catch their favorite food - the giant squids. Think about it, they need to breathe air through their lungs just like us humans, but they have evolved to a degree that they can hold their breath for hours at a time, can withstand extreme levels of water pressure and can use their sonar positioning ability (by clicking) to locate their prey in that darkness, what an animal...
We move horizontally but with our bodies in a vertical position. You can't really compare the two like you tried because they can move in all directions at any time. We cannot do that naturally.
It's just a fun observation, you're overthinking it.
They look like the aliens from “Arrival” when they sleep
Agree
Rt!!
Now that's a profile pic
True true.
Your pfp is terrifying
First time I'm watching a whale sleeping! So peaceful. Thank you 💕
Glad you enjoyed it!
🧿
@@NaiaEnterprises1 amazing
Same, I’ve never seen whales sleeping before
🧿
First time seeing a whale sleep. It appears their tails don't sleep.
Captain Ahab: it’s free real estate
i think they might do the same thing as dolphins and let one half of their brain sleep while the other manages breathing and boyancy so they dont drown. This could be totally wrong but its just a guess.
yeah just like we are.. sometimes we moves while sleeping
@@NtxRan You are constantly moving your legs, and flailing your arms about as you rest. Okay. This is according to your comparison.
Just like bats holding onto branches while they sleep which happens involuntarily.
I'm actually surprised they sleep like this and not floating in the surface, the idea of not breathing for an entire night's rest is scary .
So I did some light reading and it seems that the sperm whale naps in intervals of 10-15 minutes. And they estimated that sleeping only takes up 7% of their day.
As opposed to hump back whales, which sleep at the surface for 30 minute intervals.
Humans are actually the outliers when it comes to sleep. Our overgrown brains need a lot of rest, and while there are animals that can sleep for much longer, they don't *need* to. Unlike us. Dolphins don't truly sleep at all, but that doesn't really count since they're always partially asleep
Sleeping on the surface would make them easy prey for Sharks, Killer Whales, Whalers ect.
@Dieter Gaudlitz why is that?
I had to take a deep breath after reading this comment
It's such an eerie thing, truly alien and otherworldly.
Says the whale of the cameraman
They not sleeping, they sending message to distant galaxy.
Lol
They Updating XD
Wow, I never would have imagined they slept vertically!
Humorous comment, we sleep lying down but we are active vertically, they are active horizontally could stand to reason why LOL
@@timhall5220 Point. Exclamation! 🏌️♀️😄
I never imagined that whales sleep
Like whoa 🤯
the gravity would've acted more on them if they were horizontal, so they don't sink much while being horizontal (I think, I might be wrong)
Imagine looking at them from up close and then suddenly they woke up. I would be scared af.
They always do wake up eventually (when we are viewing them) since their sleep cycles are short. It's typically a slow-motion event, when one or two begin shifting their body angle or gently swim to the surface seemingly to invite the others to join them as they swim away. If they are startled by intrusion (for instance by pilot whales) they will bunch closer together as they depart. If they are simply relocating the group's members move at their own pace and in a very loose group.
@@NaiaEnterprises1 but can't a sperm whale just eat n attack you as they're carnivores.
@@simohayha6031 They have a specific diet and we aren't on the menu. They eat mostly giant squid.
@@NaiaEnterprises1 do they have any predators? Why do pilot whales swim so deep?
@@heimlichheilworthgrapo7286 Yes, orcas for sure. Maybe white sharks. Pilots whales dive in part to feed on the same food source as the sperm whales. They love those giant squid!
Me: "I will go to bed early tonight"
Me at 3AM: *I-posing* *whales*
Imagine sleeping for one whole breath.
They remind me of all the Alien movies with the aliens sleeping in their pods. Hahahahaha so amazing!
In their _pods_ huh? _budun chh!_
Haha! I'll go now.
Which one Arrival ???
Funny thing is, marine mammals are least alien to Homo Sapiens among all sea living creatures ;)
@@pavel9652 well duh cuz they mammals
True
Imagine being a fish and swimming up to this for the first time.

Imagine they formed a circle around him and did some spinny shit.
@DekuMidOnly ...no.
The council has decided your fate.
Diver: jumps in water
Whales: *Dorime...*
*a m e n o*
They are just adorable. And yes, I do realize that sounds strange considering their size and often fierce nature but..look at them. It fills one with so much peace and serenity. Simply beautiful.
I agree with you.
Fierce nature?
@@monkeymilk8060 for the squids, fishes and other males: yes, very fierce!.
How in the world do you associate fierce nature with a whale?
@@tesoulx I don't think you know what fierce means. Fierce means aggressive. Sperm whales are not aggressive. They have a very calm nature, even when they're after food.
Wish my neighbors where this quiet at night.
Ha!
You probably forgot to put them under water, didnt you?
Knowing that sperm whales are the loudest animals on the planet makes the comment even more funnier
@@SuperFloraLP you just gave me an amazing idea...
They could be you just have to put them in the ocean
People: aw that's so peaceful and nice

People with Thalassophobia: *NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE*
i don't even have thalassophobia, i love the deep sea, but something about images of whales sleeping like that feels really unsettling in some way
@@Jukajobs yeah, same. Very weird
Transphobia is what i saw
@@Jukajobs i think its because of the empytness in the sea and the whales slepping like this don t help (sorry my english)
The reason why this seems scary is because the ocean and the whales makes us realise how small we are as humans. Subliminally we don’t like to think how small and insignificant we truly are compared to everything else in this universe.
It must be terrifying to go to sleep like that when you can't breathe underwater. Imagine trying to sleep whilst holding your breath.
Per cetologists, sperm whales (being deep sleepers) only need _about_ an hour and a half of sleep per day, and they can hold their breath for that long.
@@hlcepeda that's crazy, some huge lungs
@@AndrewLomax80 There is more just the lungs. Their blood vessels are more capable of storing oxygen as well as other tissues. AFAIR they store oxygen in muscles, so they can top up oxygen and go diving for over 1h.
God would have consider that, when creating them - evolution proven!
@@pavel9652 it’s also their massive spleens that basically act as a big sack of oxygenated blood
Unbelievable........there’s a better word but can’t think of one at moment. Magnificent. 👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
I agree... words don't do these amazing beings justice. Thank you for appreciating.
Mesmerizing???
Peter Wallace Your words are quite appropriate, Peter.
Damn Peter, your a really quick thinker 😬
Tranquil?
Imagine waking up from a deep sleep and already being in the bath and ready for work at the same time.
God imagine being enormous and just going to sleep surrounded by endless blue dwarfing you on every side.
They're calling the mother planet.
Imagine seeing that when you're having a swim.
Hey Sharron, why are there whales in our swimming pool? 😂
H E A R T A T T A C K
So we stand up vertical and sleep horizontally but whales do this in reverse, fascinating
Just imagine the all the other prehistoric giant sea mammals doing this all over the ocean
I hate to tell you this but the blue whale is the largest creature to Exist
@@collotdeschenes2332 not really, but okay
@@collotdeschenes2332 Biggest animal, not creature. There are plants and mushrooms bigger.
@@collotdeschenes2332 ehh we’re not sure yet. the ocean is still widely undiscovered. we still have thousands, if not, millions of more species to find and document
Until a boat starts up 14 miles away and wakes everyone up. Btw this is incredible photage
Thanks for appreciating.
Oh yeah!... poor whales... they are so quiet! 🤣😂 I think the "sing" of a nearby male should be louder and worrysome.
Boats?... pfffff just background white noise!
@@tesoulx sound travels faster in water
Sperm whales are the loudest creature on the planet ...they can burst your eardrums
In water kingdom, they're technically floating in the sky
Great observation
Imagine being a crab or something, looking up at this but never realizing what it is.
We sleep laying down breathing.
They sleep standing up not breathing.
@MacKenzie DONALD Bruh.
Breathing is the process of taking air into and expelling it from the lungs.
They are not performing that *Process* at that time. Process as in a *series of actions or steps* taken in order to achieve a particular end.
*Doing Part of a process does not equate to doing a process.* Hold your breath and only exhale... and lets see how long you will live..... without BREATHING.
@MacKenzie DONALD I am human, i paid attention during my school years, and know the entire process of breathing.
Instead of trying to understand a person's world location, maybe you should take up a higher learning Biology class ?
@MacKenzie DONALD Oh, now you getting verbally hostile?!?!
You also need another semester of *Reading Comprehension* !
You seem to be the type of person that needs a chalk board and a pack of crayons to make easy concepts understandable ! 🤭
Let me break it down to you in lame-man terms... exhale is PART of the breathing. You still need the other part which is INHALING. Put them together and BAM !
Breathing is in process !
LIKE I SAID... hold your breath and ONLY exhale like those whales are doing until you pass out. Then when someone revives your crazy butt, tell me what step of breathing you were not doing !
😁
@MacKenzie DONALD what do they inhale? Water?
Imagine when they made that terrifying sound to stun their prey
They're not sleeping, they're peacefully protesting
Ha! We could learn alot from them.
There protecting against whale hunting.
Imagine diving and saw something dark just floating in a group
When you’re at a sleepover and they don’t give you a blanket
They sleep VERTICALLY??? There's certainly something you don't see every day
You should try it sometime it’s pretty awesome cuz when you wake up you’re already upright
@@jakeman025 no I'm not
I think horse sleep vertically too
giraffes sleep vertically too
For China men I sleep vertically too tho
The vastness of the deep sea and the size of those mammals, makes this really breathtaking for me.
Baby whale: Good night. See u in the morning
Mother whale:Just make sure u don't sneeze in ur sleep..
This day I've realized I had never before thought of how whales sleep.
They look like ancient monliths from a previous civilization far more advanced than us.
It's all fun and games, until a Japanese "research" vessel passes nearby.
Sadly true
That “research” exemption needs to be revoked like yesterday. 😠
its all fun and games until south korea pulls out the jellyfish shredder
科学のために!!!
@@lyhthegreat goddamn it, we don't care about you and your goddamn bonsai! Now leave the whales alone!
When the movie "In the heart of the sea" came out and I saw it for the first time,I was so fascinated with sperm whales that I spent the next 5-6 months binge watching videos that had anything to do with sperm whales. All whales are so majestic and graceful but sperm whales are hands down my favourite.
I've come to the same conclusion after spending time in the water with other whales. The are all wondrous and beautiful, however sperm whales are my favorite.
@@NaiaEnterprises1 wow,i can't imagine how breathtaking they must be up close in their natural habitat. See,I'm from a tiny little state way up in the north-east region in India called Mizoram. The best we got are a handful of small lakes and rivers,pretty much 99% of our tribe in all our lifetime haven't even seen any of the worlds oceans. I'd die for the chance to experience what you said you did earlier,just once,and it'd still be worth it for me. Mind if I ask you if you've ever been in the water with a blue whale?
@@Heretic1408 Thank you for sharing your perspective and story! It makes what I'm doing all the more fulfilling, in that I'm able to share a view of the ocean and its inhabitants in this way. Yes, I have been in the water with a blue whale... in the Azores. I believe the video is on my channel (if not I will post it!).
@@NaiaEnterprises1 what I'd give for a chance to see the largest animal to have ever lived on planet earth. Sigh! 1. I can't swim. 2. I'm scared to death of the abyss,but dream of swimming with whales hahah. Umm,how will I find that video you mentioned? Can you tell me the name of your channel so I can subscribe to it? I figured its "Susan Bird",....is it?
Found it,and yeah,just subscribed. Next up,binge all of your videos. I assume you filmed them yourself, right?
Imagine coming across this unearthly looking sight ....giant featureless alien looking creatures not moving at all.
I never thought they’d sleep vertically.
I am so so happy to know that this is how whales sleep, SO CUTE they're all snuggled up in the sea
"We all float down here."
Watching this without context would be something else
idk why everyone is finding this creepy I think it is fucking adorable.
C U T E
I didn’t know submarines can sleep
Whales : Maybe if we keep still they won’t notice us
We do keep still while quietly floating on the surface, and they peacefully do their own thing in their own timing and rhythm.
Dark
Imagine sneaking up on a pod of what are basically sleeping semi trucks.
Pretty accurate in terms of their size!
Giant pillars floating in the sky except it's in the water and they're sperm whales napping

had no clue they did this. Its beautiful
"i gently open the door."
Aww, teachers having a sleepover. Cute.
That's amazing. It makes me wonder about the 'dolphins never sleep' thing, whereby, they apparently just switch between left and right sides of the brain and are always on the move. I hope they aren't late for work.
sperm whales actually fully sleep unlike dolphins! usually for short periods of time though.
@@20ZZ20 Like me in the bath :)
Dolphins sleep like any other mammal; they are light sleepers though.

Sperm whales peacefully sleeping: That's Cute
@@craigfish9256 the abyss below them: not so much
Ikr, and its hard to explain why to
what an otherworldly sight. imagine being there and you see these colosal creatures just floating around you
This is an excellent description. It was indeed an otherworldly sight and experience.
Imagine deep sea diving and having the time of your life and you come across these
Its like a gathering of aliens but jokes aside I find it cute.
Incredibly advanced and beautiful beings.
Yes they are!
Yo imagine being one of the whales sleeping but it’s tail didn’t keep it afloat with the rest and it woke up in pitch black deeper in the ocean 😭
I think we need to talk about how underrated the uploader is. The channel has many wonderful cetacean videos and no one really cares about any except this one.
Well, thank you for appreciating! Not everyone takes the time to go deeper or explore beyond what passes by their screen. I'm grateful that you have taken a moment to do so.
Imagine sleeping while holding your breath without drowning...
Nice... As long as they have their privacy and is not interrupted in any way.
Yes. We are peaceful in our observation and they simply rest until they feel the internal urge to move.
@@NaiaEnterprises1 Did you ever happen to wake them up (by accident)?
@@renerpho that's a really good question.
look at them. not a phone in sight, just vibing
This looks like something out of a horror movie

Maybe they are alien space ships pretending to be whales.. 🤷🏽♂️
@@1SGCarter or maybe they’re submarines made by the government. Oooh 😂.
How eery and calming at the same time.
I agree. It is a very peaceful experience to be with them when they sleep.
I feel like they're performing rituals...
It kinda looks like the new imperial fleet palpatine built in the rise of skywalker
I love them so much.💖
me too!
A clip that really makes you think about the amazing world; thank you!
You are welcome!
It’s those 7 seconds where you see the whole family completely still that uneases me...when I see the bubbles it’s way less unsettling.
That makes sense, now that you mention it.
This is definitely both fascinating and downright unsettling
I wish I could convey how peaceful the experience was... to watch them slumber. I understand though how strange this must look...
bru it be like that scene from that movie Arrival though
Yes
If the Wiggles went diving, they'd be like "WAKE UP JEFF!"
I've been alive for 16 years and this is the first time in my life I've seen whales sleep
I never knew they slept like this, how fascinating

Crazy you can actually see every individual ray of the sun reflecting so deep down there.

So calming to witness this
Truly a peaceful experience.
Imagine what life on another planet has just simply magnificent
Since we have a sign of a previous universe (?) before the big bang, it could very well be (or not, we just don't know) that there will be an endless amount of universes after this one for you to experience. So in that sense, if life exists again in next universes, you may actually experience life on other planets after this life. Maybe after death the 'you' is dispersed? Even if that turns out to be true, give it enough cycles and 'you' are likely to be formed again in some way.
@@lystic9392 yea I believe that but this me won't be there itll be a new me with no memory of this universe. We probably already had this conversation a million universe's ago
@@irontuth I know ^_^ but it's still kinda cool!
Absolutely unreal that this is something that naturally happens on this earth. Seems so alien, or something out of a horror movie. Absolutely fascinating.
That must be one of the worst moments to remember that if one of them wakes up and starts clicking you are dead.
Imagine something like walking up to Stonehenge, and then the stones start to move.
the largest animal brain to ever exist; they also have more extensive degree of cortical folding/ gyration than even humans. Behaviorally, and socially they have complex societies with dynamically evolving dialects. Perhaps here they are in communion here with some alien mother-ship haha
Thank you for this informative comment!
Now you tell us! Did anybody get their coordinates! Arg no seriously!
Ha ha (awkward laugh while I put on my tinfoil helmet).
Funny how youtube can teach me more than school could ever do
I mean we ARE awake vertically and sleep horizontally, so this somehow makes sense
