>>201621024Though some local populations are still in trouble, the global sperm whale population as a whole is in better shape than we are usually led to believe. The small number the Japanese take (it's not even one of the species they primarily target) don't come close to making a dent. There are literally hundreds of thousands of them in the oceans.

You know what we need? We need a Moby-Dick show. A series, on like HBO or Netflix or Paramount or something like that.EVERY chapter gets its own episode. Make your way through the book bit by bit. Even the Cetology chapter and the chapters like "The Hyena" and "Of the Whiteness of the Whale." You can't cover this book in a single 2 or 3 hour movie, so don't even try. Make a TV series of it. It would be great, if done properly.

>The new footage shows that when sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are threatened by orcas (Orcinus orca) they can shoot a poop slushy into the faces of their attackers. A big, red bomb of explosive diarrhea is apparently like kryptonite for killer whales. And who can blame them?uh based

>>201620746There has still yet to be a Moby Dick adaptation that properly captures the feeling of isolation and exestential dread/yearning. At least, that I know of. I think it would play well as a mini-series. Knowing the film/tv landscape these days though, they'd probably make Ahab a mexican and put girls on the ship.
>>201625598>EVERY chapter gets its own episodeBrother, have you even read it? About 2/3rds of the book is an enclyclepdia on documenting whale anatomy, dissection and sperm whale harvesting, whaling ship customs, what carpenters and blacksmiths did aboard the ship, etc. It would not be 'great' to adapt those chapters to film, as much as I love the book it would be boring and tedious to a high degree. >>201625677>A24 maybeThey would ruin it.

>>201621745All the dominant predators of the ocean (and even rivers) have been atmospheric air breathers. Think of the marine lizards before the dinosaur extinction. Atmospheric air allows for increased metabolic activity. The largest freshwater predators are things like Aripipama that have lungs or catfish which have a structure very similar to a lung and breathe atmospheric oxygen
>>201627442This was the only time watching deep sea ROV streams really lived up to my hopes, I think that was Nautilus right?
>>201629916Honestly, what is the explanation for thus behavior? That's so strange. Are they smart enough to know that humans will get pissed if they kill us and will come after them? Is it pure altruism? Why are whales so nice to humans? Orcas too. You'd think such a dangerous predator would kill humans in the wild but they don't. The only ones that do are the ones that wen crazy in captivity.
>>201630398Aren’t humpback whales dangerous because they can get grumpy at things having fun. I’ve read they will swat at dolphins playing and randomly break up groups of other animals doing things.
>>201627467>I'll try spinning, that's a good trick
>>201627830So much debris in the water
>>201631089I think orcas are smart enough to recognize us as another pack hunter
>>201620746fuck whales
>>201631284If that's the case and it isn't pure altruism, whales are a lot smarter than we think.
>>201631089When you look at a whale, you see them for an intelligent being, like yourself. When the whale looks at a human, they see the same thing. They know you're not food, they know you're what they are. It's why they seek human company, imagine being surrounded by retarded fish all the time.
>>201629916how nice of them

>>201631340What if we sent a retard in the ocean
There's actually more Humback whales alive today then ever in (pre)history.What aspect of industrail revolution allowed them to thrive?Balck Bear doing the same is obvious, because human trash is free food for it, but whales don't eat out of trash cans
>>201631690>but whales don't eat out of trash cansDo you think there is no trash threwn into the oceans?
>>201623333
>>201631316Killer whales have evolving linguistic based languages that are passed on through the mother and cultural hunting traditions that are shaping their physical evolution. Two different pods with different hunting styles, like one being migratory and hunting large seals and the other hunting salmon living right next to each other will have a separate language and no gene flow between the pods but they will breed with the related cultures further away.Look up old Tom. There have been several populations throughout history that learned to hunt other whales with humans. Killer whales are probably the animal closest to humans mentally.
>>201631690Not entirely true. Humpback Whales aren't quite at preindustrial levels yet, at least in the Southern Ocean, but they are close, estimated to recover by the 2050s. The main reason is that Right Whales and huge Rorqual whale species are nearly extinct and have extremely low breeding rates, and in many cases are slightly inbreeding, so need time to purge harmful mutations. So Humpbacks have no competition, because hardly any huge whales. Minkes are doing well too.
>>201631786But this trash isn't in trash cans. If it somehow is, they are not eating out of it, but the whole thing.
Why haven't we got a Paraceratheriumkino yet?

>>201620746Iirc there's a chapter in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea where a pod of Orcas battle a Pod of Sperm Whales.
>>201633247looks like sliced watermelon
>>201620746Those videos I see where a whale with a giant hook in its jaw or side fin swim up to a boat and the people jump in to take it out makes me wonder how many times that has happened when no one had a camera. The are smart enough to not only know that these hoomans will help but the understand our anatomy enough to realize we have hands with opposable thumbs and can pull it the fuck out. They might even understand to concept of a tool even though they will never ever make one.
>>201633171You're right, orcas are based.
They called me the sperm whale after the incident in Walmart.
>>201620746>they have an organ filled with oil in their head>they have specialized lips in their head>when they make clicking sound with those lips, the sound travels through that oil, bounces off a big flat plate in their skull, and travels back through the oil again >this amplifies the sound into a combination sonar x-ray vision and sonic weapon if loud enough, that can stun their prey and even damage internal organs>they use this gift in order to dive down to the lightless abyss, as a mammal that needs to surface for air, so deep that their skeletons show damage from the pressure of repeated dives over their lifetime>they do this to hunt perhaps the most elusive and evil monster known to god, for the sole purpose of preventing them from breeding and evolving freely, for the good of the entire planet
>>201633312This isn't really specific to whales, even sharks know they can come up to humans to get hooks removed
>>201633607Can't really compare sharks to whales and dolphins in terms of intelligence. They are considered fairly smart for a fish, but fish overall have tiny primitive brains compared to marine mammals. But at least sharks are smart enough to have incel meltdowns

>>201635071Dislodge parasite
>>201635071It asserts dominance. Propelling their several ton frame from the water and landing with a giant splash scares smaller beings away and lets other whales know it's a safe area to chill.

Can whales really kill people with just sound? How?
>>201631901>Right Whales and huge Rorqual whale species are nearly extinctOf those, only the North Atlantic right whale is critically endangered. The North Pacific species is endangered, but not critically. The Southern right whale and the bowhead are listed as least concern, though there are some endangered sub-populations of the latter.Among large rorquals, the blue whale is endangered, but not critically. The fin has recovered similarly to the humpback. The sei is still listed as endangered mostly for political reasons, as it has recovered nearly to historical estimates (50,000 in 2018 vs 65,000 before industrial whaling).Other than the North Atlantic right whale, most whale species have recovered significantly since the end of wide-scale commercial whaling. What is not widely understood is that it was not 19th or even early 20th century whaling that reduced most species so badly, but a massive boom post-WW2 (more whales were probably taken in the 1950s than in the entire 19th century). It didn't help that the Soviets consistently exceeded IWC quotas and lied about it.

>>201625598>Even the Cetology chapterYou are a fucking psued who has not read Moby Dick.Moby Dick would make an 'okay' prestige television show if adapted faithfully. The idea of doing an episode per chapter is actually retarded though since multiple chapters consist of essentially a single conversation. You might be able to make something cool with 5-15 minute 'episodes' done in the same way as old serial shorts played before and between feature presentations in theaters but I don't know if that format would succeed in the modern day.Much of the appeal with Moby Dick is Melville's writing and the narration. This would not carry over well to a film adaptation. The actual narrative is poorly paced and you would likely trim a LOT of it (making it no longer a faithful adaptation) to create something that would work well in the medium.But go ahead, pitch me your 48 minute version of "The Hyena".

The whales spot schools of fish, then send up a ring of bubbles around them to sort of corral them, then they swim up through the center and scoop em all up. The fish you see jumping in instead of out are just doing that because fish are retards.

>>201625758The niche of massive seaborne predator was empty after marine dinosaurs died out so speciation happened and someone filled it. It could have been just as easily some kind of seal or penguin or some species of fish(most likely a shark regaining their old niche). Unlikely, but even an invertebrate like a squid or flatworm or annelid or free-living mollusk could have done it.

This is the best thread we've had on /tv/ in a long time. We need more cool animal threads.

>>201631089I would imagine a general sense of curiosity is common among high intelligence animals. Plus not fucking with a bizarre creature not native to your habitat and too small to provide a worthwhile meal is just a basic instinct.
>>201631316>wespeak for yourself
Sperm whales fighting giant squids and octopuses is probably the kinoest thing about real life. Both have high intelligence, so it's effectively a battle between races of giants. The fact that it's not a lop-sided hunt and the kill could go either way. The fact that occurs in the deep and we only know of these battles from their aftermaths. What else IRL could even come close to topping this?
>>201620746this is a good doc about the whaling ship incident that inspired moby dick and about whaling in general. that shit was brutal. fuck j. p. morgan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71sn-WDQoXI
>>201653497its some real greek god endless battle type shit
>>201653497any videos of it? i really enjoy bug fights
>>201648369Are these kids just trying to ride a dead whale?
>>201653497It is lopsided as hell. Their not even close in size and the whales basically swallow them whole.
>>201653497Do the the giant squid have any real chance of killing a sperm whale? Maybe they could blind it with their hooks at best
>>201653161>>201653005

>>201624866They have a substance in their heads that they're hunted for that is not sperm but when they were first being hunted the Italians thought it literally was where they stored their cum.That's it, no double meaning, no entendres, no metaphor, they just called these guys cum whales.
>>201625598How about no, how about we don't need anything made anymore because it will invariably be diseased with faggotry and woke shit.
>>201629916>>201629943Sorry bros but this is just a myth, the highest dB sounds they've ever been recorded making are not capable of physically damaging a human, Definitely the human ear if you are close, and maybe smaller fish, but that's it.
>>201651375Probably for the best that we got what we got. I imagine a massive squid or flatworm apex predator would be much less discriminating in its dietary preferences and much more dangerous to humans than sperm whales.
>>201655057No its a living freight train and outsizes them like a hawk easing a rabbit. Its purely a predator prey relationship.
>>201631316Orcas have been on record, more than once, in Greenland and Norway, as having literal, actual snowball fights with ship crews. This is in the Arctic and some crewmember threw a snowball at a surfaced Orca a couple times and they started throwing back little bits of ice slush trying to hit the person while doing their version of laughing. This ended up with almost the whole ship crew throwing snowballs where upon the Orca brought half a dozen members of its pod who started throwing ice slush back.Whales, Corvids, Octopuses, Elephants and Dolphins (including Orcas) are almost certainly at the stage that early humanity was at JUST before we made the transition from early Homonid to later stage Homo neanderthalensis and sapiens.Now they don't have manipulators for tool use which was an enormous intellectual accelerant so who knows if they'll go farther but in the next 50,000 years if they do they could literally be another fully sapient, conscious species just like we are.
>>201620746Man i would give anything to have seen one of these fuckers in action. Sperm whales are my favorite animal but it goes to show that no matter how cool any living animalnis there is almost always a cooler version that went extinct
>>201657708>they could literally be another fully sapient, conscious species just like we areThis is why we need to stop them before it's too late.
>>201657699That has to be one of the most terrifying deaths in the animal kingdom, can the squid even see well enough down there to get a glimpse of the whale coming at it?
>>201657411Over air it will just rupture your eardrums (pressure waves tear the delicate eardrum). But salt water is much more dense than air. Those same pressure waves rapidly compress and decompress all your body cavities, your cranium, organs, brain, eyeballs. You can easily die from that.
There's some deep lore surrounding Lake Baikal in Russia. Deepest lake in the world. Weird sea creatures that don't exist anywhere else on Earth.Plus fun X-Files tier stuff.
>>201657807
>>201658032I dont know about any of that but they DO have the worlds rou dest seals
>>201658032I have been there. It's true that it's the deepest lake, and captured some sealife before the ocean retreated. The only freshwater seal inhabits here, and there are some unique small fish species. But there is no deep giant sea life because the surface freezes over with 2-3m thick ice. Oxygen gets very low and large creatures cannot survive.
>>201658093Roundest*
>>201656833Dolphins rape other animals and not only that they laugh while they torture sharks. They take turns ramming into a shark's gills at breakneck speed and then they all sit around and laugh while it slowly chokes to death on its own blood. None of that is hyperbole.

>start reading Moby Dick on a whim>suddenly /tv/ starts having regular Moby Dick threads What the fuck kind of surveillance bullshit is this? It's getting worse than when I discuss something with a friend and I don't even have my phone nearby, then I get YouTube recs about it.
>>201658215They also get high off pufferfish toxins.
>>201658099Large life does not need oxygen to survive, in fact there is a phenomenon known as Deep Sea Gigantism where the lower in the ocean you go the larger things tend to get because of something called Kleiber's Law which states that an animal's metabolic rate scales to 3/4 its mass.This means in effect that the larger an animal becomes the more efficient its metabolic rate. This is an enormous advantage in deep sea environments because life in general and food in particular is so scare compared to other environments that a larger creature will actually need to consume less energy to sustain itself than a smaller creature.I know your original point is about oxygen but my point is deep sea life does not require oxygen intake via surface air and they get massive, in fact there are almost certainly bigger things than whales in the abyssal zone and the hadal zone beneath it simply because evolutionary pressure points them that way.
>>201658265Link to test?
>>201658570That works in the ocean that constantly has oxygen input from the surface and rainfall. It does not work when the whole lake gets capped over for 4 months of the year.
>>201658570>in fact there are almost certainly bigger things than whales in the abyssal zone and the hadal zone beneath it simply because evolutionary pressure points them that way.What kind of bigger things?
>>201651375a giant filter-feeding worm would be cool as shit
>>201658215>>201658253The Japs took care of business
>>201658621Maybe not but there may be room for a creature that enters oceanic hibernation or Torpor to significantly lower its requirements for oxygen. I don't have any evidence for this and you're right there hasn't been anything discovered but I don't really think its quite as impossible as you're making it out to be.
>>201658722Nothing has been discovered, but you must put it into context.We are only JUST into mapping out the Abyssal zone and its denizens, as mentioned above, Deep Sea Gigantism is a proven thing and is trending to be very common in the portions of the Abyssal zone we have mapped, almost every version of everything we've found in the abyssal zone that has an analog in the upper zones is several times larger than their upper zone cousins. The shrimp in the abyssal zone are 10x larger than common pelagic shrimp.Knowing that, and knowing that there is an even deeper zone called the Hadal zone (named for the god Hades) which we have managed to reach only about 7 times in our history as a race, I think it is quite likely that there are bigger things than whales down there.
>>201623312Naw, it's funny.
