The southern bottlenose whale is a large whale from the beaked whale family. It lives in the cold waters of the Southern Hemisphere, has a long beak and four teeth on the lower jaw.
The southern beaked whale differs from other beaked whales with four teeth and a large size. It is important for nature as a hunter of deep-sea squids and part of a healthy marine ecosystem.
