"Sperm Whales' Defensive Strategy: Giant Poop Bombs to Ward Off Orcas"

Sperm whales in Western Australia used a unique defense strategy by releasing a large cloud of reddish-colored poop to fend off an impending attack by a group of orcas. This rarely seen defense mechanism, known as "defense defecation," involved the whales forming a circle and fanning their tails to drive their excrement towards the orcas. The strategy worked, and the orcas swam off in search of fresher waters, showcasing the clever tactics employed by sperm whales in the face of potential threats.
