Logistics here are extra interesting. Sperm whale clicks are basically a sonic weapon. This is maybe the loudest animal known in the history of the evolution, known to be capable to kill an human just with sound if they get alarmed. I wonder if we would be able to watch the destruction of the robot with a extra loud sound wave at any given point or how they designed to avoid it.

Is this actually true? I've heard this but have never seen evidence of this actually happening before. Are we saying that, theoretically, a sperm whale's ecolocation is so powerful that if a human was swimming near it within some specified range they'd die?

I found this thread on Reddit, and the claim seems to be true!

Then why aren't they killing all the fish?
