"In mid-October, the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life aerial survey team spotted three True's beaked whales over the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, which is about 130 miles off of Cape Cod, the aquarium announced Oct. 30 on Facebook. During the survey, the team also recorded more than 700 marine animals, including seven fin whales and 402 common dolphins."
"True's beaked whales are typically found in the "deep, warm, temperate waters of the North Atlantic Ocean" and at least two areas in the Southern Hemisphere, although there is minimal information about their location worldwide, per NOAA. The whales range from 15.5 to 17.5 feet long and weigh between 2,200 to more than 3,000 pounds with the potential for female whales to be larger than the males. The lifespan of True's beaked whales is unknown, according to NOAA."
The Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life aerial survey team recorded more than 700 marine animals during a mid-October survey about 130 miles off Cape Cod near the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument. The survey included three sightings of rare True's beaked whales, deep-diving animals that rarely surface and have an inconspicuous blow. The team also documented seven fin whales and 402 common dolphins. True's beaked whales inhabit deep, warm, temperate North Atlantic waters and some Southern Hemisphere areas. Individuals range 15.5–17.5 feet and 2,200–3,000+ pounds; lifespan remains unknown.
