Description
真瓶鼻鲸(Hyperoodon ampullatus)
A bottlenose whale is either of two species of whale, members of the ziphiid family. The two species—the Northern Bottlenose Whale Hyperoodon ampullatus and the Southern Bottlenose Whale Hyperoodon planifrons—are the sole members of the Hyperoodon genus. Whilst the two species are physically similar their stories over the past two hundred years are rather different. The Southern Bottlenose has been rarely observed, was seldom hunted, and is probably the most abundant whale in Antarctic waters. The northern species on the other hand was hunted heavily by Norway and Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Norway finally stopped hunting the whale in 1973.
