Northern pygmy right whales highlight Quaternary marine mammal interchange
The pygmy right whale, Caperea marginata , is the most enigmatic living whale. Little is known about its ecology and behaviour, but unusual specialisations of visual pigments [1] , mitochondrial tRNAs [2] , and postcranial anatomy [3] suggest a lifestyle different from that of other extant whales.

The pygmy right whale, Caperea marginata , is the most enigmatic living whale.
