In the latest film of the voyage of Calypso Whales are the quarry of Cousteau and his research team. Armed with harpoons, not to kill but to tag, they follow the Finback Whale and obtain unique underwater pictures of this 20-ton monster. More enormous still and reputedly very savage are the Sperm Whales, so when Cousteau decides to tag a baby Sperm it is exciting and dangerous.
