Sperm whales are concentrated in warm waters. Is it afraid of cold?

Can sperm whales survive if they cross back to the Mesozoic ocean? I think many people's answer is no, because the Mesozoic ocean is too dangerous, and there are many horrible sea monsters that can kill sperm whales in minutes. But I want to tell you the opposite answer. Sperm whales can not only survive in the Mesozoic ocean, but also live well.

Legend: Male sperm whales (M) and female sperm whales (F) with average body length are compared with human bodies. The picture comes from the internet.

As the largest toothed whale on earth, sperm whales have few natural enemies. Male sperm whales have an average body length of16m and a weight of 40 tons. The average length of female sperm whale is 1 1 m, and the weight is 14 ton. The largest sperm whale in the scientific record is a male whale with a body length of 20.5 meters and a weight of 57 tons.

In terms of size, sperm whales have overwhelmed most sea monsters in the Mesozoic ocean. The three most famous marine families in Mesozoic are ichthyosaur, Shanglong and black dragon. Among ichthyosaurs, plesiosaur was huge, with a body length of 15 m and a weight of about 40 tons. Pliosaurus funkei, a member of Shanglong family, is 13 meters long and weighs about 35 tons. Hoffman black dragon, the largest in black dragon, is 18m long and weighs 30 tons. In individual confrontation, sperm whales do not suffer. Considering that sperm whales have 40 to 50 teeth on their jaws, which can be up to 20 cm long, their combat effectiveness is not low.

Sperm whales are not only inferior to most Mesozoic sea monsters in individual size, but also far superior to Mesozoic sea monsters in group behavior and intelligence, so they have more advantages.

When discussing whether sperm whales can fight against Mesozoic giant sea monsters, we actually ignore the fact that sperm whales once lived in an era with Megalodon, the most ferocious carnivore on earth. Sperm whales successfully resisted the threat of Megalodon and became one of the most powerful animals in the ocean after the extinction of Megalodon. This alone is enough to prove that sperm whales are very powerful for large predators.

Nowadays, sperm whales mainly feed on large cephalopods in the deep sea, such as the famous king squid. So is there any food similar to sperm whales in the Mesozoic ocean? Of course there is! In fact, during the Mesozoic era, especially during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, cephalopods in the ocean were extremely prosperous, and it was no problem to provide enough food for sperm whales, both in species and quantity. In fact, many ichthyosaurs and other marine reptiles at that time mainly ate cephalopods.

Conclusion: If the sperm whale returns to the Mesozoic ocean, it will not only survive, but also become very prosperous!
