The False Killer Whaleis slender in shape with rounded, but not overly bulbous, head and no beak. Flippers have rounded tips and distinct bulge on anterior edge, which gives them a slight “S” shape. Dorsal fin is small and falcate, positioned midway along back. Tailstock is deep, and grooves may be observed in urogenital area. Skin pigmentation is dark gray to black, with a pale-gray patch on chest. Mature male False Killer Whales, in addition to being larger than females, have slightly larger, more protruding melons. Both jaws have 7-12 pairs of large conical teeth. Habitat. Prefer warm, tropical regions, primarily in deep offshore water. Observations of the False Killer Whale in cooler temperate waters are likely outside its normal distribution. It can be found in the Red and Mediterranean seas.
