Baird's Beaked Whale (species)

Baird's beaked whale is a large marine mammal found in deep ocean waters, primarily in the North Pacific. Known for its distinctive elongated body and prominent teeth that protrude from males, this species can grow up to 36 feet long. Unlike many whales, Baird's beaked whales are known for their incredible ability to dive deeply for long periods, often hunting squid and fish. They are elusive and rarely seen, making them a subject of interest for researchers. Unfortunately, they face threats from human activities, such as shipping noise and entanglement in fishing gear.
