Analysis of the Acoustic Signals from Three Pygmy Sperm Whales (Kogia breviceps)
The pygmy sperm whale, Kogia breviceps, is a small odontocete whose biology and ecology are poorly understood. The Kogiids are taxonomically classified within the Superfamily Physeteroidea due to the presence of a spermaceti organ. This organ, along with

The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) shows some of the most derived characteristics of any mammal: a large body size, large brain, complex social organization and a capacity for deep foraging dives that few other marine mammals can match.
