 1. Description
 The body in pilot whales is robust, with a thick tail stock. The
 melon is exaggerated and bulbous and the beak is barely discernible
 or non-existent. The dorsal fin is wide, broad based, falcate and
 set well forward on the body. The flippers are long, slender, and
 sickle-shaped. A faint grey saddle patch may be visible behind the
 dorsal fin. A grey midventral line extends to the front into an
 anchor-shaped chest patch and widens posteriorily to a genital patch.
 The short-finned pilot whale has a wider skull than the long-finned
 species (Olson and Reily 2002).
