1974- 76, during a time of famine, pestilence & drought, my primary residence was a ten-foot square mud hut with a thatched roof in a HalPulaar village in the Senegal River Valley. On the occasion of the scorpion/wasp duel, I was visiting a friend downriver in a Wolof-speaking area.

Details on the lower jaw of a Sperm Whale: Size: While average sizes have decreased due to historical whaling, a massive jaw of over 5 meters (16 feet) has been recorded. so... that squid was at least 15 feet long bodywize..tenticles even longer..I can only imagine.. 25 to 30 feet?
Far from it, the giant squid population in the Gulf of California has collapsed, which has led to sperm whales leaving the Gulf or starving to death. The open ocean is really really empty, and the collapse of squid populations is causing serious problems for the whale populations that depend on them

That post credits this account that has many sperm whale videos and seems legit indeed www.instagram.com/reel/DOk8-Pc...

If you want to hear a Cachalot hunting a squid - You'll have to put up with the rather vociferous Humpack in the foreground but, in the background, is a Cachalot, hunting in Monterey Bay. One of the few places in the world you can see both species in the same location. freesound.org/people/MBARI...
This is fabulous! Have you read WHALEFALL by @danielkraus.com? Absolutely read it! I have a bunch of words here and there on whales and on sea monsters. Some of them are here and linked within it: buttondown.com/surekhadavie...
