\nWhat they actually found was ambergris, or \u2018whale vomit,\u2019\u00a0a valuable ingredient in the perfume making industry. Having read about the value these \u201crocks\u201d can reach, they were aware it was their lucky day.<\/p>\n
What in fact is ambergris? \u201cWhen sperm whales swallow sharp objects \u2013 such as the horny beaks of squid, which are their usual food \u2013 their intestines secrete a sticky substance that envelops these sharp debris so as not to injure the intestinal mucosa. Over time, these residues agglomerate in the form of lumps of various sizes, which are removed either with feces or regurgitated. Under the influence of the sun and the seawater, this mixture turns into a hard matter, with a specific aromatic smell.\u201d<\/p>\n
