Grab your scuba gear, explorers, because today we are diving deep into the dark, freezing waters of the open ocean! We’re looking for a massive friend who loves to dive, loves to click, and has the biggest brain on planet Earth.

On this episode of Animals with Aimee, we’re talking all about the amazing, gigantic, and wonderful Sperm Whale!

Discover how these champion deep-sea divers can hold their breath for up to 90 minutes on a single dive to find their absolute favorite meal: the Giant Squid. Learn why the sperm whale's sharp, loud click is the loudest sound made by any animal on the planet and how they use Echolocation to navigate and hunt in the pitch-black depths. Plus, find out about one of the funniest things they do—taking short, vertical naps, floating perfectly straight up and down.

It’s an adventure full of brilliant, record-breaking marine mammals with a very big appetite! Stick around for the Wild Wisdom Challenge and a few whale jokes at the end!

Thank you for listening!
