A video has captured one of the ocean's rarest spectacles: a sperm whale surfacing with a giant squid caught between its teeth. These creatures hunt at depths of more than 800 meters, in complete darkness, guided only by their biosonar. Clear images of such encounters are nearly impossible to obtain. Each recording offers clues about how they hunt, feed, and maintain the balance of the mysterious underwater world. | Sheridan Burkholder
