What If You Were A Whale?
What if you were a whale?
Humans need tons of special equipment to dive deep into the ocean, but whales seem to do it just fine. Especially sperm whales, which can dive over 2000 meters deep without any ill effects. What’s odd about this is they’re still mammals that need to breathe through a lot of similar processes as us. So what lets them dive SO deep and what would I need to change about my body to do the same?
