Cetacea · Ziphiidae · Mesoplodon ginkgodens    Smithsonian Institution    Copyright Notice    Privacy Notice   Mesoplodon ginkgodens Ginkgo-toothed Beaked Whale Order: Cetacea Family: Ziphiidae Click to enlarge. (58 kb) Almost nothing is known of the ginkgo-toothed beaked whale. Nothing about its behavior or feeding habits has been reported, and its geographical distribution is estimated from a very small sample. Most records are from  Asian waters, where a few were harpooned in fisheries. As with other beaked whales, adult males can be identified by their distinctively-shaped teeth, which are different in each species , but females and juveniles are almost impossible to identify by species. Length: Range: up to 4.8 m males; up to 4.9 m females References: Nishiwaki and Kamiya, 1958.  Sci. Rep. Whales Res. Inst. (Tokyo) , 13:53, 13 figs., 17 pls.
