Sperm Whale Physeter macrocephalus

Sperm Whale Distribution & Migration

Sperm Whale Distribution & Migration Map

Not much is known about the migration of the sperm whale. The largest males are found farthest north and females with calves reside in low latitude tropical and temperate waters but the seasonal movement of this species does not appear to be as synchronized as many other whales (Whitehead 2003). Females and calves are almost always found over deep productive waters.
