Kogia Breviceps (Cetacea: Kogiidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2008
Kogia breviceps (de Blainville, 1838) is a cetacean commonly called the pygmy sperm whale. A diminutive relative of the sperm whale and difficult to identify in the field, it is 1 of only 2 members of the genus Kogia. It is endemic to offshore waters of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans in temperate and tropical regions.

Population structure of pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales in the Southern Hemisphere may reflect foraging ecology and dispersal patterns

2023
Little is known about the biology of pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (K. sima) sperm whales as these animals are difficult to observe in the wild. However, both species strand frequently along the South African, Australian and New Zealand coastlines, providing samples for these otherwise inaccessible species.

SUBACUTE ATROPINE TOXICITY IN A PYGMY SPERM WHALE, KOGIA BREVICEPS

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2002
Atropine, an anticholinergic agent commonly used in human and veterinary medicine, is reported to cause toxicity associated with its antimuscarinic action. A juvenile pygmy sperm whale, Kogia breviceps, was treated with atropine in an attempt to relieve symptoms similar to pyloric stenosis, as has been used in humans. Two doses of 0.01 mg/kg were given

Kogia breviceps (Pygmy sperm whale)

1974
Skin and lung biopsies were grown from a male specimen washed ashore 1971 in San Diego, California, USA, identified as this species by skull preparation and body conformation. The karyotype of the female was donated by Dr. Debbie Duffield, Los Angeles, California. It came from cornea preparations of a specimen captured in the Atlantic Ocean in 1972.

GASTROINTESTINAL LEIOMYOSARCOMA IN A PYGMY SPERM WHALE (KOGIA BREVICEPS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2013
An adult male pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) was stranded within a tidal pool on Fernandina Beach on the north Florida Atlantic coast (USA) and expired soon after discovery. Necropsy findings included a small intestinal mass markedly expanding the intestinal wall and partially obstructing the lumen.

Composition of milk of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1978
Abstract 1. 1. A 315cm lactating female pygmy sperm whale, Kogia breviceps , accompanied by a 156cm female calf stranded on south Miami Beach, Dade County, Florida, on 13 March 1974, were used in the experiment. 2. 2. A sample of milk from the lactating female contained less fat and more lactose than most cetecean milks previously analyzed.
