Sperm whales, known for their incredible size and intelligence, only sleep for approximately seven percent of their day. When they do, it’s a magical sight—often huddled in groups of five or six, these school-bus-sized cetaceans rest vertically near the surface of the water. Scientists believe they sleep with one eye open and one half of their brain awake to control their breathing, avoid predators, and maintain social contact. The mystery of how whales rest in the wild is captivating, and these majestic creatures serve as a beautiful reminder of nature’s wonders.
