Current Goal

This sperm whale's goal is to travel to as close to the seas and oceans on Earth and to have as many pictures taken as possible! This is because sperm whales are in most seas and oceans.

About This Item

Cache-a-lot Travel Bug

The Sperm Whale

According to Wikipedia, the sperm whale can also be called a cachalot which is where the name of this Travel Bug comes from. The male and female size differences is at the bottom of the page (male above and female below).

Some information from nationalgeographic.com:

Sperm whales are easily recognized by their massive heads and prominent rounded foreheads. They have the largest brain of any creature known to have lived on Earth. Their heads also hold large quantities of a substance called spermaceti. Whalers once believed that the oily fluid was sperm, but scientists still do not understand the function of spermaceti. One common theory is that the fluid—which hardens to wax when cold—helps the whale alter its buoyancy so it can dive deep and rise again. Sperm whales are known to dive as deep as 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) in search of squid to eat. These giant mammals must hold their breath for up to 90 minutes on such dives.

 

Of course you are allowed to take this to every cache you go to but it'd be nice to see this little TB by the coasts in all different countries!

I hope you enjoy taking the TB along with you on your travels!

I have received this trackable and bade to take it with me to drop at one of the largest caches in the world and by far the best I’ve seen in almost 18 years of caching. It’s on private property under camera surveillance. It’s owned by gazillionaire entrepreneur/astronaut/all around super cool guy, Lord British. It will be dropped this Saturday afternoon sometime around 3pm-ish.
