Ziphius bairdii

Ziphius bairdii, commonly known as Baird's beaked whale, is a deep-diving marine mammal found in deep ocean waters. It is notable for its elongated body, distinctive beak, and male individuals often exhibit prominent teeth. Baird's beaked whales can reach lengths of up to 12 meters (39 feet) and are known for their impressive diving abilities, often going deep to hunt squid and fish. They are typically found in groups and are less understood than other whale species, primarily due to their elusive nature and preference for deep waters. They are currently classified as data-deficient, highlighting the need for further research.
