Replica Short-finned Pilot Whale Skull

The short-finned pilot whale is found throughout most of the tropical and temperate waters of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The diet of this cetacean consists almost exclusively of squid. Short-finned pilot whales swim in groups called pods that usually number 10 to 50 individuals. This species is nearly indistinguishable from its relative the long-finned pilot whale.
