On 17th March 2006, we obtained this amazing footage from an oil and gas exploration contact. We immediately posted it onto the MARMAM list (http://whitelab.biology.dal.ca/marmam.htm). We tried to get more details, but the company was not forthcoming. Since then, we have had considerable interest from various organisations and media companies. The footage was taken at 900m from an ROV working in the Gulf of Mexico. It shows a sperm whale slowly investigating a sub sea pipe structure. Various markings can be seen clearly on the animal including the tail flukes.
