Blainville's beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris)

Known for its unmistakable arch, Blainville's beaked whale's lower jaw curves sharply upwards. Especially striking, the male’s arch is topped with prominent tusks that point upwards past the upper jaw. Denser than elephant ivory, these distinctive features have earned Blainville's beaked whales the epithet “dense-beaked whales”.
