Pod of Sperm Whales Sleeping Vertically
28 July 2017
An underwater photographer has captured a rare set of images which capture a pod of sleeping whales.
Franco Banfi, 58, caught the magnificent creatures around 65ft underwater as well as his partner, free diver Sabrina, 51, just off the coast of the Caribbean island Dominica.
The 40ft long sperm whales, known to be quite social, spend around seven per cent of their time sleeping and nap vertically for six to 25 minutes – in this case it was ten.
Mr Banfi, from Cadro, Switzerland, said: ‘This was a group of around ten sperm whales all sleeping together.
‘I don’t know why they sleep vertically, maybe because they can use the sonar they have in their head to sense any danger approaching.
The ethereal images were captured just off the coast of the Caribbean island Dominica, and also included photos of the marine mammals awake and swimming around
