17 Sightings Recorded in recent Cetacean survey in the Davao Gulf (WWF- PhilippinesSMARTSeas PH 2018)


Most noteworthy observation of this survey are the two sightings of pygmy killer whales (Feresa attenuata) which have never before been recorded for the Gulf, a pod of short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorynchus) with a breaching individual, and four sightings of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), the largest of the toothed whales. There were also numerous sightings of the dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima) this year unlike in the 2016 survey where sightings of this species were few and fleeting.
