Sperm whales (Physeters)

The sperm whale is the biggest toothed creature and the third biggest animal of our planet. It is undoubtedly the most magnificent cetacean of the Greek seas.


Running upon a sperm whale is rather rare. These cetaceans wander all the time in order to find food and trying to allocate them is rather difficult.

 

However, we fortuitously saw such a creature near Pylos and decided to accomplish this mission of "Nautilus" at the Ionian Sea, in cooperation with “Pelagos” Cetacean Research Institute, in order to meet and get familiar with the kind giants that live in our seas.
