Kogia simus (Dwarf Sperm Whale): Narrative
The dwarf sperm whale feeds at great depths. The shape and position of the mouth indicate that this whale may feed very near the ocean floor. The diet of this species consists mainly of cephalopods, fish and crustaceans found at depths of 250-1300 meters. [eng] |

Pygmy and Dwarf Sperm Whales
A few observations of live animals indicate that Kogia is rather sluggish and sometimes floats motionless on the surface. Otherwise, the genus is known largely on the basis of strandings. Some of these records suggest that K. breviceps moves away from the shores of the eastern United States and South Australia during the summer and that K. simus migrates toward Japan in the summer [eng] |
