Genus Kogia Gray, 1846 Kogia is often treated as a distinct Family, Kogiidae Gill, 1871, but is retained in the same phylogenetic group as the sperm whale (Genus Physeter ) based on cytochrome b analysis (May-Collado & Agnarsson 2006). We followed the taxonomy by Mead and Brownell (2005). Two species are recognized, and both have a worldwide distribution. : Published as part of Jo, Yeong-Seok, Baccus, John T. & Koprowski, John L., 2018, Mammals of Korea: a review of their taxonomy, distribution and conservation status, pp. 1-216 in Zootaxa 4522 (1) on page 125, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4522.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2610198 : {"references": ["Gray, J.
