It is the largest predator on the planet and also has the largest brain in the animal kingdom. But whether it\u2019s the cleverest is anyone\u2019s guess, as Robert quips. It took the nature photographer more than a thousand attempts to snap this spectacular shot. \u201cYou only get one chance when a sperm whale submerges. You need to be in the right position \u2013 on the same level as the animal,\u201d he explains. Robert photographed these sperm whale flukes in freezing cold conditions around 0\u00b0C (32\u00b0F) off the coast of Kaik\u014dura, New Zealand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before the whales dive up to 3000 meters down in search of food, they stay on the surface of the ocean for around 10 minutes. During their dives for food, which can last up to an hour, Robert says the whales hunt for giant squid \u2013 their meal of choice \u2013 and perhaps occasionally snack on a hammerhead shark.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Marc Lehmann ist Meeresbiologe, Forschungstaucher und preisgekr\u00f6nter Naturfotograf.
