How do Giant Squids interact with Sperm Whales Do Sperm whales live in the same ocean zone as the Giant Squid?

In: Whales

There was a well documented whale that traveled up and down the Eastarn Seaboard of Africa and as I recall about 5 years ago it appeared in its mating grounds with scarring from what could only be described as wounds from a squid probably trying to defend itself from being eaten by the Sperm Whale. The story was an AP item that our paper Seattle Times typically runs in the A section. I remember the story vividly because it blew my friggin mind!!!

Sperm Whales off the coast of New Zealands South Island dive to incredible depths 2-3000 meters , to get at and feed on giant squid. The whale cannot stay at that depth for very long (20-40 minutes) but the Giant squid live at that depth so the answer is no, Sperm Whale and giant squid live in entirely different depth zones in the ocean.

The giant squid one of the sperm whales favorite foods.
