【51】 front flippers (鳍肢), used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.

An enraged whale will attack a ship. A famous【55】 of this was the fate of whaler Essex, which was sunk【56】 the coast of South America early in the last century.

The sperm whale can【58】 the bottom for his favorite food, the octopus (章鱼).【59】 that search he is known to go as far down as 3,200 feet, where the pressure is 1,400 pounds, to the square inch. Doing【60】 he will remain submerged (水下的) as long as one hour. Two feats (绝技) are involved in this: storing up enough【61】 (all whales are air-breathed) and withstanding the great change in pressure.

And【63】 is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating mechanism that automatically adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But【64】 you can’t bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one【65】 just how these things work.
