SPERM WHALE
SATURDAY, MARCH 9 @ 9:00PM
The team exposes the organs of a sperm whale that became stranded and died on Pegwell Bay in Kent, England to reveal the secrets of the 45-foot deep-sea giant. Despite its enormous size, very little is known about the sperm whale because it normally lives hidden deep beneath the waves. The program examines how the whales can survive diving down thousands of feet for more than an hour on one gulp of air in conditions that would freeze our blood and crush our bones. Evans and Reidenberg also discover how sperm whales use the largest nose in creation to hunt giant squid in the dark.
