"The presence of selected whales and dolphins have been confirmed in particular areas around the Maltese coast..
..these also include the sperm whale, one of the largest animals that ever roamed the planet.
The rare occurrence of some of these species is why it was fascinating for those who managed to sight at some whales off the Maltese coasts."
