A mother and calf humpback whale glide through the surface waters in Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.
After a nearly 12-month gestation period, a female humpback whale gives birth to a single calf that she closely nurtures and feeds for six to 10 more months. While humans consume milk that is about two percent fat, the milk humpback whale moms provide to their calves is 45 to 60 percent fat! This rich milk helps calves grow and develop as their mothers lead them through the first months of life.

I read this as “Leonard Sperm Whale.” Like there’s a giant Sperm Whale just chilling in the ocean and someone named him Leonard.
Leonard would be a beautiful name for a Sperm Whale.
