Baird's
Beaked Whale is the largest member of the beaked whales,
with a long beak and bulging forehead. The lower jaw
extends further than the upper, revealing the one of
the two pairs of teeth even when the mouth is closed.
These long-bodied animals have small flippers and a
small blunt dorsal, and are slate grey in colour, which
can look like brown or black at sea. The undersides
are blotched with white. Adults are normally scarred
from the teeth of their companions, cookie-cutter sharks
and orcas.
