Nautilus Live yesterday posted this wonderful video of the capture of a sperm whale by the ROV Hercules. The ROV – remotely operated underwater vehicle – was tethered 598 meters (1,962 ft) below the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana at the time.
The whale circled Hercules several times and gave the cameras the chance to capture some incredible footage of this beautiful creature.
E/V Nautilus is exploring the ocean studying biology, geology, archeology, and more. Watch for LIVE video from Nautilus from the ocean floor.
