High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Perrin's Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon perrini) is the newest species of Beaked Whale to be described.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Perrin's Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon perrini) is the newest species of Beaked Whale to be described. It was first found in May 1975 off the coast of California, with four more specimens showing up until September 1997. They were initially identified as Hector's Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon hectori), except for the most recent one which was assumed to be a neonate Cuvier's Beaked Whale. Following inclusion of one of these specimens in a mtDNA sequence database of beaked whales, it turned out that they seemed well distinct from M. hectori (Dalebout et al. 1998). It was subsequently confirmed that the other "Hector's" specimens from California belonged to the same undescribed taxon (Dalebout 2002). The new species was formally described in 2002 by Dalebout et al.; its common and specific names are a tribute to cetologist William F. Perrin.
