Sperm Whale
The ocean has long been the last refuge for the largest animals on earth. An elementary education in the aquatic life of sea creatures will show why: the water helps diffuse weight which allows for creatures to grow larger and larger. The Sperm Whale is next up on our list of gigantic creatures but it will surprise you to know: this isn’t the largest whale on our list. The Sperm Whale is almost 70 feet long and it has no natural predators out in the ocean, though fights with giant squids are common. The Sperm Whale actually feeds on colossal and giant squids. This creature is known for the substance that it releases from its spout, called spermaceti, and has been poached for ages in order to make soap, machine oil, and candles.
