Sleeping Whales: Photographer Reveals What Whales Look Like When They Snooze

One photographer captured a rare glimpse of what it looks like when whales snooze. In the Indian Ocean, a group of more than 30 adult sperm whales are sleeping at a depth of 15 meters. They stand like this without moving for minutes or hours. All are females, and all the calfs are at the surface while parents are sleeping.

It's pretty weird to imagine how an animal with a size of a school bus looks like when it takes a nap. Well, not anymore! Thanks to the French photographer and diver Stephane Granzotto, we can clearly see how it is like when a whale takes a nap. While diving in the Mediterranean, this photographer successfully took pictures of whales, taking a nap peacefully.
