Podcast: Sperm whale societies - revealing cultures, clans and fascination

[Guest guest]

Sperm

whale societies - revealing cultures, clans and fascination http://www.whales-online.org/podcast/podcast.rss

The Whales-online Podcast speaks

with Professor Hal Whitehead from Dalhousie

University. Hal has spent the last 25 year

studying the social organization and culture of sperm whales, in the South Pacific

since 1985 and the northwest Atlantic since 1986. His

long-term study has revealed important insights into the complex social

structures and culture of sperm whales. Like many who have spoken on

whales-online, Hal hopes for a future where we develop protection mechanisms

that don't only focus on individual threats, but mitigate the myriad of

problems these animals face and protect the habitats that they depend upon.
