Professor Malcolm Clarke - discusses the anatomy of sperm whales

Prof. Malcolm Clarke, a world expert on Sperm Whales and Giant Squid, speaks from his Whale Museum on Pico in the Azores about the anatomy of sperm whales. Includes a discussion of water and air holes, sound generation, the size of the brain and heart and the digestive system which includes 4 stomachs and is responsible for the creation of ambergris, an excretory product made from the beaks of giant squids. A sample of ambergris is shown. Ambergris has extraordinary properties of smell retention and has consequently been used in the world's finest perfumes. Attempts to synthesis similar compounds have failed. This is one of a series of films featuring Malcolm Clake and the Whale Museum on pico.
