It's #funfactfriday! #didyouknow that Beaked whales are one of the most mysterious groups in the cetacean world? Though there are over 20 species, only 4 are reasonably well studied. The group as a whole is quite widespread, ranging from the ice edges of both poles all the way to the equator. The two things that all beaked whales have in common are their pronounced "beak" or rostrum and an amazing diving ability. Thanks to a number of physiological adaptations beaked whales are some of the best diving mammals in the world! 🎨: @peppermintnarwhal #whaletales #funfact #whales #beakedwhale #beakedwhalesareawesome #beakedwhalesofinstagram #whalesareawesome #didyouknow #trivia #dyk #storytelling #getonaboat #whalewatching https://www.instagram.com/p/CNK3Z_sL1on/?igshid=1bhmqzu2uslmx

It's #FunFactFriday! Did you know that there are two species of Bottlenose Whale? The Northern Bottlenose Whale can be found throughout the North Atlantic Ocean, usually where the depth is greater than 6,500 feet and the Southern Bottlenose Whale is found throughout the southernmost parts of the Southern Ocean, including all along the Antarctic coastline. Both species of this beaked whale were named for the distinct “glass bottle” appearance of their rostrum, just like their distant dolphin cousin.⠀ #whaletales #funfact #trivia #bottlenosewhale #beakedwhale #whales #whalesareawesome #whalefact #whalesofinstagram #dyk https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9hUzzHL4y/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's Fun Fact Friday! Did you know that the distribution of the True’s Beaked Whale is truly distinct?! 😜⁠ One population inhabits the North Atlantic Ocean and has been seen from as far north as Nova Scotia and Ireland to as far south as the Bahamas. On the other side of the world a separate population swims in the southern Indian Ocean around South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.⁠ #whaletales #funfact #whales #beakedwhale #truesbeakedwhale #whalesareawesome #didyouknow #trivia #dyk #storytelling #getonaboat #whalewatching https://www.instagram.com/p/CLe4Mjinusl/?igshid=rk631w2jah91

45 children were taken out of primary school to watch this Baird's beaked whale being butchered in Minamiboso, Japan yesterday. Brainwashing Japanese children into thinking that killing whales is acceptable is a deliberate strategy in an attempt to create a future market for whale meat. #endjapanwhaling #japan #whaling #whales #beakedwhale #iwc #minamiboso https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GNfxnh9M3/?igshid=9vliq17nxcz4
