 TONMO.com Forums - View Single Post - [News]: Rare deep-diving squid-eating whale found
It seems that this whale is extremely poorly known, even amongst the beaked whales which are poorly understood but are believed to comprise about twenty species.
It was first described in 1933 and christened Tasmacetus shepherdi, literally translated as 'Whale from the Tasmanian Sea', and named after the curator of New Zealand Museum who first described the specimen.
It is exceptionally rare and is known from about 20 strandings, mostly in New Zealand, and a single sighting at sea.
