Dans le Massachusetts, des restes de cachalots de tr\u00e8s grande taille ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9couverts, tandis que les sp\u00e9cimens actuels peuvent peser plus de 40 tonnes et atteindre une longueur d\u2019environ 14 \u00e0 16 m. Les dents du cachalot peuvent mesurer jusqu\u2019\u00e0 25 cm de long. Le cachalot se nourrit principalement de calmars g\u00e9ants, dont certains peuvent peser plusieurs centaines de kilogrammes. Des r\u00e9cits historiques du XIXe si\u00e8cle racontent l\u2019histoire d\u2019\u00e9normes cachalots capables de faire couler des navires en bois. L\u2019un des cas les plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres est le naufrage du baleinier am\u00e9ricain <em>Essex<\/em> en 1820, apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 percut\u00e9 par un cachalot. Ces histoires r\u00e9elles ont notamment inspir\u00e9 le roman <em>Moby-Dick<\/em> de Herman Melville.<\/p>\n<p>Le cachalot qui vit aujourd\u2019hui peut peser environ 40 tonnes, tandis que les grands m\u00e2les peuvent atteindre un poids encore sup\u00e9rieur. Il peut rester sous l\u2019eau environ 45 minutes en moyenne, et certaines plong\u00e9es peuvent durer jusqu\u2019\u00e0 90 minutes. Il revient ensuite \u00e0 la surface pour respirer. Les scientifiques ont \u00e9tabli que le cachalot produit certains des sons les plus puissants du r\u00e8gne animal : ses clics peuvent d\u00e9passer 200 d\u00e9cibels lorsqu\u2019ils sont mesur\u00e9s sous l\u2019eau. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces signaux sonores, le cachalot utilise l\u2019\u00e9cholocation pour localiser ses proies, notamment les calmars g\u00e9ants, \u00e0 des distances consid\u00e9rables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le cachalot est un \u00e9norme mammif\u00e8re marin qui vit encore aujourd\u2019hui.
