Melon-Headed Whale
The Melon-Headed Whale is a small species, seen in all major oceans, and ocasionally in Hervey Bay. It was initially thought to be a dolphin, but in fact is not closely related to other cetaceans. With a pointed, melon-shaped head and slender body, the melon-head body colour is dark grey, bluish-black or dark brown. Equipped with 20-25 pairs of teeth on both the upper and lower jaws, they are thought to prey mainly upon squid and small fish. These like the Killer Whales aren't endangered.
