	CMS: Globicephala melas, Long-finned pilot whale
		The pelagic driftnet fishery is focused on sharks (families Sphyrnidae and Carcharinidae) and incidentally caught species include 15 Globicephala melas in 1995 and 1997.
		Authors conclude that the driftnet fishery may be an important cause of cetacean mortality and that a systematic study should be carried out in order to evaluate the impact of this activity.
		Globicephala melas is not listed by the IUCN (see "links").

	Pilot Whale, Globicephala macrorhynchus at MarineBio.org
		Pilot whales are actually two species: Globicephala melas (Traill, 1809, long-finned) and Globicephala macrorhynchus (Gray, 1846, short-finned), and are large dolphin species second only to orca (killer whales) in size.
		Pilot whales are dark gray to fl in color with a lighter colored patch on the ventral surface, and Globicephala macrorhynchus (short-finned) pilot whales may also have a faint patch behind the dorsal fin.
		In general, pilot whales, Globicephala melas (long-finned) and Globicephala macrorhynchus (short-finned), are found in the northern and southern hemispheres in tropical and temperate waters throughout the world.

	Long-finned pilot whale - Globicephala melas: More Information - ARKive
		Along with the related short-finned pilot whale, this species was once called a 'pothead', as the bulbous head was thought to resemble a fl cooking pot by the early whalers that first encountered the species (1).
		The Latin name of this genus, Globicephala, meaning 'globe head' also refers to the shape of the head (4).
		The stocky body is fl or dark grey in colour with a white stripe passing diagonally behind the eye (3), a greyish area on the belly, and an anchor-shaped grey patch on the chin (5).

	North American Mammals: Globicephala melas
		Globicephala melas - inset: male, left; female, right
		Long-finned pilot whales live in the cool waters of the North Atlantic continental shelf and slope.
		Their tendency to form close-knit pods of 10-15 individuals, which are often loosely connected to other pods and may form groups in the hundreds, worked against these animals: traditional whalers learned to “drive” hundreds of whales into shallow waters where they could be easily slaughtered.

	Baleia-piloto
		The name Pilot Whale is used for two species that are very similar and not easily distinguishable at sea, where the species occur simultaneously.
		In the case of the Azores the animals that are usually seen belong to the species Globicephala macrorhynchus (Tropical Pilot Whale) but it's possible that the second species, the Long Finned Pilot Whale (Globicephala melaena) also visit our waters from time to time.
		The most conspicuous external characteristic to distinguish between the two species is the length of the pectoral fins, that is much longer in the case of the Long Finned Pilot whale.
