Sightings of Dwarf ( Kogia sima ) and Pygmy ( K. breviceps ) Sperm Whales from the Main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]
Pacific Science, 2005 Sightings of dwarf (Kogia sima) and pygmy (K. breviceps) sperm whales in Hawaiian waters have only rarely been reported. As part of boat-based surveys of odontocete cetaceans around the main Hawaiian Islands between 2000 and 2003, Kogia were observed on 18 occasions. Kogia were sighted most frequently in deeper portions of the study area (mean depth, 1,

Helminth parasites of the dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima (Cetacea: Kogiidae) from the Mediterranean Sea, with implications on host ecology [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2018 Limited data exist on the occurrence of the dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima in the Mediterranean Sea and its parasite fauna. Here, the occurrence of the anisakid species Anisakis physeteris and A. pegreffii in the stomach chambers of an adult female dwarf sperm whale, stranded in southern Italy, is reported.

First stranding record of Kogia sima (Owen, 1866) in the Colombian Caribbean [PDF]
Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2019 The dwarf sperm whale, Kogia sima, is one of the lesser known Odontoceti species, in spite of its worldwide distribution, and is considered rare due to the difficult identification in the field. Detailed information is scarce and mostly comes from stranding events or bycatch animals, just a few sightings correspond to live specimens.

Records of kogiid whales in Namibia, including the first record of the dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima) [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity Records, 2013 Dwarf ( Kogia sima ) and pygmy ( K. breviceps ) sperm whales occur in pelagic waters around southern Africa. Here we report the first record of K. sima from Namibia and provide information on the basic morphometrics and diet of that record and of two recent strandings of K. breviceps . All known records (N = 29) of K.
