‘We found an $1.5m ambergris fortune in a sperm whale’s belly’ – BBC News

Ambergris is made inside the intestines of a small number of sperm whales, and is also used in perfume production.

Although sperm whales are a vulnerable species, ambergris is considered a waste product so it can be sold in some countries.
