Eat up to 1.500kg of food daily Give birth to one calf every 5 to 7 years Gestation period: 14 – 19 months

Up to 60 or 70 years

Biggest animals that have teeth on Earth Have the largest brain of all mammals

At risk due to hunting and accidental fishing net entrapment

II Task 1: Read the description of the sperm whale

and then complete the table that follow:

Sperm whales are the biggest animals on Earth that have teeth They are carnivores, which means they eat meat Although sperm whales can

be found in all oceans, they prefer the waters with high squid populations, which are their main diet A sperm whale can eat up to 1,500 kg

of food each day Sperm whales are big animals The male can grow up to18 metres long and weigh up to 54,000kg while the females are a bit smaller with a length of 12 metres and a weight

of 17,000kg A female sperm whale gives birth to one calf every five to seven years after a gestation period of fourteen to nineteen months The life span of sperm whales can be up to sixty or seventy years It is interesting to know that they also have the largest brain of mammals Sperm whale populations are at risk due to hunting and their accidental entrapment in fishing nets.
