Pygmy Killer Whale

During the last several days, not only has another Whale shark delighted divers but a rarely seen Pygmy Killer Whale (Feresa attenuata) made an appearance. Distinguishing features include the white color of its lower lip proceeding down towards the chin, white scarring especially around the head and a rounded head without a beak. This one was about two meters in length, which is about midsize for an adult. Miguel’s Diving continues to inform cetacean researchers about the many sightings in Gorontalo.
