1. Description
Pygmy killer whales have a robust body that narrows towards the
dorsal fin, hence the name "
attenuata
" (latin)
meaning "thinning". The head is round and blunt and lacks
a beak typical of many dolphin species. The moderately long flippers
are rounded at the tips with convex leading and concave trailing
edges. Pygmy killer whales are mostly grey to black, with a subtle
dark cape on the side, below the high, falcate dorsal fin. There
is a paler grey area on each flank and an irregularly white patch
on the ventral side between the flippers, around the genitals and
occasionally the tail stock. The lips are also edged with white.
Body size ranges from 2.1 to 2.6 m (Donahue and Perryman, 2002).
