Amazing photos, although for some reason I doubt this claim on the third page:

Sperm whales are voracious hunters of squid, and one animal can consume an estimated 110 million tons a year.

You read it wrong it said "the species as a whole consumes an estimated 110 million tons a year"

I agree that 110 million tons for one animal would be impossible. That's over 300,000 tons per day!

Man, sorry, but no way no whale could eat 110 millions tons of calamari a year.
Surely you realize that, don't you?.
