	Pygmy Right Whale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pygmy Right Whale (Caperea marginata) is a baleen whale and as such is a marine mammal of the order Cetacea.
		The whale, which lives in the Southern Hemisphere, was first described by Gray in 1846, and is the sole member of the genus Caperea and the family Neobalaenidae.
		Despite its name, the Pygmy Right Whale has more in common with the Gray Whale and rorquals than the Bowhead and Right Whales.

		The body is gray, lacking the striking fl and white markings common in balaenids.
		Caperea has, however, a striikingly white mouth and tongue.

		De dwergwalvis (Caperea marginata) is de kleinste baleinwalvis.
		De dwergwalvis is de enige soort uit het geslacht Caperea en de familie Neobalaenidae, hoewel hij soms tot de familie echte walvissen (Balaenidae) wordt gerekend.
		Omdat de dwergwalvis zich zelden in de buurt van door mensen bewoonde gebieden bevindt, is er nog weinig bekend over het dier.

	BALEEN WHALES - Scientific Classification
		A right whale has a smooth throat and a disproportionately large head with very long baleen plates in a hugely arched jaw.
		With the exception of the pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) whales in this family do not have dorsal fins.
		This whale has characteristics of both rorquals and right whales: its head is not as disproportionately large as that of other right whales; it has a small dorsal fin; and it has two rather indistinct grooves along the skin of its throat.

	Pygmy Whale
		The Latin for caperea means "to wrinkle" which refers to the earbone in this species.

		Sometimes because of certain similarities it is taken into consideration into the family of the smooth whales; since it deviates however too much altogether from these, for it its own family (Neobalaenidae) is mostly set up.
		Caperea marginata adjusted in the red list of endangered kinds of the IUCN 2006.

		Whereas a few thousand bowheads and southern right whales remain, northern right whales are rare, numbering only in the hundreds.
		The pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) was considered a close relative of the bowhead and northern right whale but has been reclassified to a family of its own, Neobalaenidae.
		Like the other right whales, it has relatively long and narrow baleen; but it also has a dorsal fin and possesses many unique skeletal features, such as a long rib cage with extremely flat, wide ribs.

		The Pygmy Right Whale (Caperea marginata) has attributes of both Right Whales and Rorquals with a dorsal fin, narrow pectoral fins and rudimentary throat grooves but with the curved mouth of right whales.
		They are dark grey with a white or pale belly colouration which extends along the throat to the tip of the lower jaw.

		Caperea seldom shows fin when breathing; back also seldom seen; flipper dark; rounded head; shy.
		Balaenoptera shows fin when breathing; back humped when diving; white patch on flipper; sharp head; attracted to ships.

	Mysticeti
		The relationships among extinct and extant groups of mysticetes have been less extensively studied than the relationships among odontocetes.
		Four families are currently recognized: Balaenidae, Balaenopteridae, the Neobalaenidae (including a single extant species, the pygmy right whale, Caperea marginata), and the Eschrichtiidae (including a single extant species, the gray whale, Eschrichtius robustus).
		Uncertainty remains regarding the phylogenetic position of neobalaenids: Caperea might be the sister group to balaenopterids (rorquals) and Eschrichtius (gray whale) (Arnason and Gulberg 1994), or to balaenids (Gatesy 1998).
