“When threatened, sperm whales often gather in a circle, thrashing their flukes on the outer edge of the ring. This defence, which one Japanese researcher described as a marguerite flower or daisy, might work against orcas, but modern whalers intentionally harpooned the largest whale in a group, hoping to prompt the formation of a marguerite. The hunters then plucked the whales from the sea, petal by petal.”
