The Longman's beaked whale is a rare marine mammal from the beaked whale family. It lives in warm deep waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is rarely seen by humans.
The Longman's beaked whale differs from other beaked whales by its special head shape with a thick beak and convex forehead. It is important for nature as part of the deep-sea food chain and helps scientists study ocean health.
