National Museum of Natural History: American Mammals: Pygmy Sperm Whale

Curated by ACT

Pygmy sperm whales are usually seen in small groups of six or fewer individuals, but there are few documented sightings. They tend to stay in deep water, beyond the continental shelf, and not much is known about their behavior. Learn more about the Kogia breviceps, more commonly known as a Pygmy Sperm Whale, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
