Nobody knows what the whales may have to click and clack about, but it could be a form of voting-time to stop here and synchronously dive down in search of deep water squid, now time to resurface, move on, dive again. Clans also seem to caucus on which males they like and will mate with more or less as a group and which ones to collectively spurn. By all appearances, female sperm whales are terrible size queens. Over the generations, they have consistently voted in favor of enhanced male mass. Their dream candidate nowadays is some fellow named Moby, and he's three times their size. Natalie Angier
About This Quote

When you are trying to figure out how much something costs, you can divide the cost by the amount you want to purchase. For instance, if you wanted to purchase a set of folding chairs which cost $1,000 each, you might divide the cost by three and conclude that each chair costs $300. On the other hand, if you wanted to purchase three chairs, you would divide the cost of $1,000 by three and come up with a price of $300 for each chair.
