Long-Finned Pilot Whale (South Emisphere Form) Globicephala melas edwardii) Family: Delphinidae Genus: Globicephala Status and Conservation: Least Concern This is the final subspecies in this small family, and they closely resemble each other. Distinguishing them requires expertise. This form, for instance, exhibits more prominent white stripes on its sides and top compared to the other subspecies, though the presence of this pattern is not exclusive to it. This form resides in the Southern Ocean near the Antarctic Pole, as its name suggests. __________________________ Please consider joining the club where you can find more detailed information about every post here, spreads of the book that is in the making, and have access to the collectible E-Stickers.
