| | The Action Plan for Australian Cetaceans - Cuvier's beaked whale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Stranded animals on South African coast contained beaks of ca 15 species of oceanic squid, in at least eight families; otoliths of morid fish Antimora sp., crustacean fragments (cf Gnathophausia) and flotsam, including plastic debris, pumice stones and a large seed. |
 | | The stomach of a large male stranded in Victoria contained beaks of ca 500 individual squid, 15 (60% of the total estimated intake by weight) being Mesonychoteuthis hamitoni; histioteuthids accounted for a further 20%, the remainder representing the families Mastigoteuthidae, Onychoteuthidae, Vampyroteuthidae. |
 | | Appears to be wary of boats and therefore uncommonly observed at sea. |
