Stejneger's
beaked whales are not seen at sea very often. Males
are quite easy to identify as they have two massive
teeth in the middle of their lower jaw which stick out
on either side of their beak. Females have much straighter
mouthlines. These whales have black or dark grey or
brown upper bodies with slightly lighter undersides
which are often scarred. They often have off-white areas
around their mouths and oval scars on their sides. Their
dorsal fins are small and so are their flippers. They
have triangular shaped flukes with no notch in the middle
and almost straight edges.
