Deep-sea research submersible encounters huge sperm whale during a dive (survive, look)

[Xircal]

The deep-sea research vehicle, Nautilus had a rare encounter with a huge sperm whale during a dive in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. The submersible had reached a depth of 598 metres (1,962 ft) when the curious creature dropped by to take a look. Looking at the video, I would have been a bit concerned about the whale snagging the attached power cord if I was aboard.

Beautiful creatures, I hope they survive.. especially in the Pacific
where there has been much bad news with Fukushima ongoing.

While I don't dispute what RT reported in the interview, it should be remembered that this channel is a Russian propaganda machine which often distorts the facts by portraying Russia's view of events rather than by making unequivocal statements. RT (TV network) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Okay, thanks for that. I wasn't aware. I thought: looks legit.

Hmmm.. Moby was going deep looking for Squiddy. Get him some super size Calamari.

It's been awhile since I followed them live, that would have been fun. It is cool hearing how excited the researchers were. "What the heck is that?!"

Hunting for some Kraken. That mouth is super strange though. I cant see the functionality. It is thin on all sides compared to body. I looks like it does not have as much bite force as an animal that size should have.
