Back in 2020 I had the honour of meeting this graceful 13 metre male sperm whale, washed up on my local beach. It was already dead when it arrived on the land, and being naive to disease control and risk assessment, I raced down to see this giant. I cried. Not because of its death (sad, but part of nature) but simply being in its presence was such a privilege. I’ll never forget it.

I finished a piece for an article my father is writing about the natural history of an area in the Netherlands. This is a predatory Sperm whale that lived in the Northsea during the Miocene (13 to 5 million years ago). It's name is Physeterula Ubusi. If you want some more information please read the captions, I've expanded a bit more over there.

I'm featuring an ecosystem rather than an organism this . Lasting for only a short time but providing a bonanza for life, a fall occurs when a whale dies and sinks to the floor. The carcass provides rare for a range of , from microscopic bacteria to huge sharks. The whale fall shown here is an artificial one on display at the , where spider , giant , and jawless occupy a skeleton.

I finished another whale painting. This time a sperm whale mother and her cub. I love these wonderful creatures, mysterious giants that are very hard to keep track of since they continuously dive towards depths of over two kilometers in order to hunt and feed on giant squid using extremely powerful sonar to sense their worlds below. You can't really get much more awesome than that.
