World Range & Habitat
Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean: sperm whales roam the deep waters of all the oceans, though they seldom approach polar ice fields and are most common in temperate and tropical latitudes. They have also be seen occasionally near coastlines in the Gulf of Mexico, where they were once quite common.

Sperm whales swim through deep waters to depths of
3,219
m, apparently limited in depth only by the time it takes to swim down and back to the surface. Their distributions depend upon season and sexual/social status, however they are most likely to be found in waters inhabited by squid - at least
1,000
m deep and with cold-water upwellings.
