Pygmy sperm whales live in temperate and tropical seas across all major oceans worldwide. This marine mammal maintains a massive global range but shifts locations seasonally to find food and breed.

Squid, octopus, crabs, shrimp, and fish make up their diverse diet.

A block-shaped head prevents confusion with other marine species. This large head represents one-quarter to one-third of the total body length.
