	Beaked whale
		The beaked whales are the second-largest family of Cetaceans (after the dolphins) and were one of the first groups to diverge from the ancestral lineage.
		Baird's and Cuvier's Beaked Whales were subject to commercial exploitation off the coast of Japan; and the Northern Bottlenose Whale[?] was extensively hunted in the northern part of the North Atlantic[?] late in the 19th and early in the 20th centuries.
		However there are now clear issues of concern: studies of stranded beaked whales show rising levels of toxic chemicals in their blubber (as a top-order predator they are, like raptors, particularly vulnerable to build-up of biocontaminants) and they frequently have ingested plastic bags (which do not break down and can be lethal).

	Whale Classification - Enchanted Learning Software
		Toothed whales have teeth, are predators that eat fish, squid, and marine mammals, have a single blowhole, and use echolocation.
		Baleen whales are larger than the toothed whales, are filter feeders that use baleen to sieve food (baleen is a comb-like structure that filters the baleen whales' food from the water), and have 2 blowholes.

	Bottlenose - the Prince of Whales
		The northern bottlenose whale population is distributed across the North Atlantic, with concentrations west and east of Iceland and west of the Faroes.
		The value of the bottlenose whale to the local communities and the regularity of its occurrence is reflected in the ancient "døglingabýti" - special custo-mary rules for distributing the meat of the bottlenose whale which differ from the rules for distribution of pilot whales.
		Bottlenose whales, as well as a number of other species, were caught offshore around the North Atlantic in commercial operations, mostly by Norwegian whalers, who also sold bottlenose meat to the UK as pet food until the market closed in the early 1970s.

	Inside Britannica
		Bottlenose whales are capable of long, deep dives; biologists recorded the dive of one northern bottlenose (Hyperoodon ampullatus) to almost 1,500 metres (4,900 feet) as it remained submerged for nearly two hours.
		The northern bottlenose inhabits the Atlantic Ocean from New England, Nova Scotia, northern Europe, the British Isles, and Norway northward to Greenland, Iceland, Jan Mayen island, and the limit of the pack ice in the Davis Strait.
		Bottlenose whales belong to the beaked whale family, Ziphiidae, of the toothed whale suborder, Odontoceti.

	Whales and Dolphins
		When the whales feed, they swim with their mouths open, trapping the minute plankton and krill which is the main component of most baleen whales' diet.
		Whaling, entrapment in nets, habitat destruction, competition with humans for food, human disturbances, and marine pollution have all had their effects on whales and dolphins.
		The Right Whale, named so because it was a slow swimmer and floated when dead, thus being the "right whale" to hunt, was hunted extensively for hundreds of years, and its population is now less then 300 and counting.

	Whales on the Net - Whale FAQ
		Although male Sperm whales often have large scars on their bodies the scars are usually the result of battles with other adult males and not the result of life-and-death struggles with monstrous squid.
		Exceptions are the Gray whale, the Beluga, the Narwhal, Baird's Beaked whale, Southern Bottlenose whale, Andrews' Beaked whale, Hubbs' Beaked whale, Ginkgo-toothed Beaked whale, Longman's Beaked whale, Lesser Beaked whale and Stejneger's Beaked whale.
		The baleen whale species that approach the Equator from the north to mate and calve, if they were then to carry on south after the mating and calving season in the northern winter would encounter the southern winter in what was supposed to be their summer feeding season.

	solcomhouse Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises
		Sperm whales were prized by commercial whalers for the large amount of oil that could be produced from their blubber and spermaceti organ and for ambergris (a waxy substance that forms around squid beaks in the whales' intestines), which was used to make perfume.
		Gray whales are gray in color and their skin is encrusted with barnacles and a unique species of small crustaceans known as "whale lice." They have 2-3 short throat grooves and instead of a dorsal fin they have a low dorsal hump followed by 6-12 "knuckles" or bumps.
		A similar toothed whale family is the Kogiidae family which includes the pygmy sperm whale and dwarf sperm whale which are significantly smaller than the sperm whale but share characteristics such as the spermaceti organ, the blunt head, and the distinctive narrow lower jaw.

		Whale populations were unable to withstand such depredation and were depleted to low levels.
		These whale species eventually received protection after the International Whaling Convention was agreed in 1974, but this was too late and too ineffectual to prevent the near-collapse of the whale populations and subsequently the cessation of the South Georgia whaling industry.
		Blue and fin whales are known to be much reduced in number compared with a century ago, but the cost of counting pelagic whales over such a large area of sea is prohibitive, and it is not known whether they too are increasing.

		The characteristic spout makes large whales fairly easy to spot: "Thar she blows!" The spout is a cloud of vapor, droplets of oil from the cells lining the sinuses, as well as some mucus being exhaled as the whale empties its lungs.
		Their natural history is characterized by long migrations that take the whales to and from feeding grounds to feast on seasonal blooms of food as well as to warm waters in alternate seasons where the females give birth and mating takes place.
		An estimated 200,000 Sei whales were killed in Southern Ocean waters during the 20th century whaling era and their populations remain severely depleted in the region.

		This beaked whale was first discovered and named in 1933 by George Shepherd, curator of the Wanganui Museum, who collected a specimen along the Wanganui coast that year.
		These whales form small herds, and in the 19th century there was a mass stranding of 25 in the Chatham Islands.
		Other beaked whales which have been found rarely in New Zealand waters are the southern bottlenose whale (Hyperoodon planifrons), Andrew's beaked whale or splay-toothed whale (Mesoplodon bowdoini), the dense-beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris), the gingko-toothed whale (Mesoplodon gingkodens), Hector’s beaked whale (Mesoplodon hectori), and the Peruvian beaked whale (Mesoplodon peruvianus).

	Southern Right Whale
		Right whales though slow swimmers are quiet acrobatic in the water, breaching quiet often (jumping 1/2 out of the water), waving their flippers and they also go sailing by putting their head under the water and using their broad tail flukes as sails to capture the wind.
		The Southern right whales are a type of "Baleen" whale which means they filter their food through baleen plates (like giant hairy combs) which are of a lightweight but tough "plastic" type material.
		Basically the right whale migrates from its summer eating grounds near Antarctica to their breeding grounds of the southern continent like Australia, South America and Africa in Winter.

	Dolphin and Whale Watching, South Africa
		Humpback whales mate and calve in the warm waters off Mozambique and West Africa, and can be seen as they move past South Africa on their northward migration in winter, usually May and June, and then on their return trip to the Southern Ocean in October and November, with a few stragglers in December.
		Bottlenose dolphins are very common and play in the shallows just behind the breakers, so they are regularly seen all along the coast.
		Humpback whales are seen between KZN and the Garden Route, and common dolphins are seen off the whole coast, but usually quite far offshore.
