Le plus profond plongeur de toutes les baleines \u2013 Le cachalot<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Les cachalots sont les plus grands c\u00e9tac\u00e9 \u00e0 dents<\/a> and the largest toothed predator that roams the Ocean. Reaching unto  67 feet long and weighing unto 56 tons these whales inspired American writer Herman Melville in 1851 to write his novel Moby Dick.<\/p>

Ils n'ont qu'un seul \u00e9vent et un cerveau qui p\u00e8se pr\u00e8s de 9 kilogrammes. C'est le plus gros cerveau de tous les animaux sur Terre. Les nageoires du cachalot sont extr\u00eamement grandes. Ils tirent leur nom du fait qu'ils produisent de l'huile de cachalot. Celle-ci est produite dans leur t\u00eate.<\/p>

Theses pelagic mammals are often spotted fare out at sea and are the deepest diving marine mammal to human knowledge.  Baja\u2019s deep Ocean landscape makes the sea of cortes a perfect location for their seasonal  spotting.<\/p>

Ce sont les mammif\u00e8res marins les plus profonds et les paysages oc\u00e9aniques profonds de Baja leur offrent un vaste terrain pour explorer les profondeurs \u00e0 la recherche de proies vivant en eaux profondes.<\/p>

Baleines \u00e0 bec facilement identifiables : t\u00eate et caract\u00e9ristiques uniques
Les cachalots se distinguent par leur t\u00eate imposante et distinctive, abritant un unique \u00e9vent sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 droit, ce qui les diff\u00e9rencie des autres baleines \u00e0 dents. Leur museau est \u00e9mouss\u00e9 et leur m\u00e2choire inf\u00e9rieure semble petite lorsqu'elle est ferm\u00e9e, abritant des dents qui s'embo\u00eetent avec la m\u00e2choire sup\u00e9rieure. Leur peau rid\u00e9e, semblable \u00e0 celle d'une prune, est principalement brun\u00e2tre avec des taches plus claires pr\u00e8s de la bouche. Ces baleines arborent une bosse arrondie aux deux tiers de leur corps, suivie de bosses, similaires aux baleines grises. Leur large nageoire caudale, triangulaire, pr\u00e9sente une couleur uniforme au-dessus et en dessous, et leurs nageoires pectorales sont courtes. Les m\u00e2les sont plus grands que les femelles, contrairement aux baleines \u00e0 fanons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Les cachalots femelles n'ont des petits que tous les 5 ans, donc avec leur faible nombre, il leur est difficile de se multiplier. D'autres femelles les aideront lors de la naissance, ce qui est assez fascinant pour des animaux de participer. Ces nouveau-n\u00e9s boivent du lait pendant deux ans, soit deux fois plus longtemps que les autres b\u00e9b\u00e9s baleines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Sperm whales live in every Ocean around the world but stay away from extremely cold waters near the polar ice in the north  and the south. Sperm whales are know to prefer deep water around Ocean trenches, where strong currents flow in opposite directions bringing concentrated nutrients to the area, which attracts large creatures sperm whales can feed on. Although Sperm whales generally move in herds, females form matriarchal pods and males form bachelor herds . Females and young stay closer to temperate and tropical waters within 45-55 latitude, but males will travel into more temperate waters. Both male and female Sperm whale prefer deep waters and are not often spotted by the coast lines.<\/p>

          Mating occurs in spring and in summer, males may battle for hards of females. Females will give birth to single calf and will generally nurse for 2 years, but cases of intermittently nursing  for unto 8 years has been reported! Female\u2019s gestation period is around 14-16 months and they will give birth very 3 to 5 years. Males will leave the matriarchal pod and form bachelor herds when they are able to compete in mating, at about 20 years old. Adult males lead solitary lives except for during the breeding season.<\/p>

          Les cachalots ont \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9rieusement chass\u00e9s pour la substance pr\u00e9sente dans leur t\u00eate, l'organe du spermaceti rempli d'une substance cireuse qui a aliment\u00e9 les bougies et l'\u00e9clairage public pendant des si\u00e8cles. Leur surchasse et leur cycle de reproduction lent ont endommag\u00e9 la population qui tente encore de se r\u00e9tablir.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

          Comme toutes les baleines, elles vivent en troupeau ou en banc, principalement parce qu'elles doivent faire du travail d'\u00e9quipe pour chasser et se nourrir, car elles se nourrissent de grosses cr\u00e9atures telles que des calmars g\u00e9ants, des requins ou de grosses raies. Les cachalots trouvent leur nourriture en eaux profondes et dans les fosses oc\u00e9aniques, et sont la baleine qui plonge le plus profond\u00e9ment dans l'oc\u00e9an. Elles peuvent plonger \u00e0 moins de ??? et leur syst\u00e8me respiratoire est sp\u00e9cialement con\u00e7u pour supporter la pression, tout comme leur t\u00eate est un formidable dispositif de flottabilit\u00e9.<\/p>

          Non seulement ils peuvent plonger, mais ils peuvent aussi sortir de l'eau, bien que ce comportement soit plus observ\u00e9 chez les juv\u00e9niles et les femelles lors des rituels de reproduction.<\/p>

          Les cachalots utilisent l'\u00e9cholocalisation pour communiquer entre eux et aussi pour chasser. Ils ont une faible visibilit\u00e9 en raison de leurs tr\u00e8s petits yeux, mais peuvent renvoyer des \u00e9chos d'objets pour les d\u00e9tecter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
