Nope. Those are humpbacks. I cannot believe the op bought it to.


I cant tell if your joking or not

The article and video posted by a whale researcher say they are Sperm whales,

Why are they called sperm whales anyway?

The Dolphin seems to act like a whale too. What a beautiful story, everyone needs companionship, acceptance and love.

Do you suppose the whales think the Dolphin is a baby whale?


I would supposed that the whales think that the dolphin might be tasty if they ever have a hard time finding snacks.

You made me laugh, just because your a hippy doesnt mean the dolphin is. Interesting how humans project. Also interesting how humans have to quantify everything . Oh they wont attribute any qualities to animals other than the ones that they do when they are in labs under their watchful gaze .

Because when the first men cut them open the whales were full of a white oily stuff and they thought it was spern, hence sperm whales.Its not sperm.

It was a new volcanic island that had arisen due to volcanic activity, scientists had then observed all sorts of animals living on it, Im not sure if there was an abundant food source for them which is why they didnt feed on each other!

In a situation like that every organism would be struggling to survive because the usual ecological relationships would not yet have been established. I'd expect to see all sorts of odd animal behaviour under such conditions.

Im saying that maybe survival of the fittest isnt the be all end all theory that darwin claims it to be!

even evolution needs to be revised from time to time ! im saying that maybe there is more to it than just what we are told in Darwins theory of evolution

Darwin's been dead for about 150 years, so I don't think he's really claiming anything these days. The theory of evolution by natural selection has advanced enormously since his day. However, this isn't the appropriate thread or forum for discussing the matter, so let's leave it, shall we? If you'd like to discuss it some more, we can do it on a different thread. There are plenty in the O&C forum.

You are wrong. Those are sperm whales. The whales in my avatar are humpbacks.

Here's a clear picture of a sperm whale.


Now here's a clear picture of a humpback.


They are very easy to tell apart.

What are you guys talking about dolphin rape? Is there a video that explains this? How do you know its just not part of their mating? I've never heard of this before.

It is part of their mating. This is normal behaviour for dolphins.

In order to coerce the reluctant females, males form groups of two or three – often remaining together in their search for sexual gratification for well over a decade. When they find a suitable female they literally force her to mate with one or more of the group, and have even been known to herd their unwilling consorts for months at a time, basically using them as their personal sex-slaves.
