Sperm whale mating groups
The sperm whale is the largest toothed whale and the most sexually dimorphic whale. Sperm whales are found in all oceans of the world, but they are concentrated in areas of high productive and deep water. Males and females have quite different distributions. The most characteristic feature of this whale is its huge, blunt head that makes up the front third of the body.

Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus)
We studied the social structure and mating system of sperm whales Physeter macrocephalus L. The mean size of encountered groups of females with immatures was about 23 animals, while the estimated mean size of units sets of females and immatures with permanent relationships was 11 animals. Groups of females and immatures, as well as large males, spent only a matter of days within the study area at a time. There was no evidence for preferred ranges for the males, for males consistently accompanying particular groups, or for males forming coalitions. Males roved between the groups of females and immatures. Both mature males and females or immatures appeared to take the initiative in maintaining or breaking close associations.
