The animal with the largest brain and teeth on the planet turns to humans for help
The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is a giant mammal that can grow up to 20 meters long and live on the seabed. Normally, 18 m long males will weigh 54 tons, 12 m long females will weigh 17 tons. It has a narrow lower jaw, specifically containing all the teeth. Sperm whale's teeth are conical and can be up to 20 cm long and weigh 1 kg each. They are therefore classified by scientists as the largest toothed carnivores in the world.
Sperm whales belong to the order Whale, the suborder of toothed whales, although they have a body that is not as oversized as many of their brothers, but sperm whales are still very recognizable by their huge head and floating forehead. turn on them.
Sperm whales have extremely prominent heads.
The head of a sperm whale makes up about a third of the length of its entire body and it is this part that makes it the largest brained animal that has ever existed on the planet (including creatures that have died). extinction). The brain of sperm whales weighs up to 8 kg, 5 times heavier than a normal human brain, the researchers said.
Perhaps it is thanks to the large brain that the sperm whale knows how to use intelligence to ask for help from humans to help it get out of a "difficult" situation like in the story below.
The main character in the story is Mr. Hugues Vitry, a world-renowned environmentalist and photographer from the Republic of Mauritius.
Sperm whale's teeth are conical and can be up to 20 cm long, weighing 1 kg each.
During his sea trip, suddenly a sperm whale approached him and it seemed that it had something secret to convey. With his seasoned seafaring experience as well as having once saved a whale from being stuck in a rope, Mr. Vitry immediately understood what the sperm whale meant.
As the whale swam next to him, Mr. Vitry pointed the camera after it so he could record what the whale was reporting.
After a while, the giant sperm whale moved its body to the side and then opened its mouth with the intention of indicating that a foreign object was making it extremely uncomfortable. According to the diver's observation, a hook got stuck in the fish's teeth, causing it to injure and bleed . With the large size of the sperm whale, it can do a lot of "great" things, but before a fatal wound like this, without the help of outsiders, it certainly won't. can be solved.
After removing the hook from his mouth, Mr. Vitry felt a little scared because the sperm whale continued to linger. To reassure the fish, this guy had to hug and pat it to say it was over. At this point, the giant fish calmed down and responded to him with actions to show gratitude in its own way.
