Description
Description

The Melon-headed whale is a toothed whale of the family Delphinidae living in the deep tropical and subtropical waters of the earth. Though they are seldom encountered, melon-headed whales or Electra dolphins or many-toothed blackfish or little killer whales are known to be ranging from small-to-medium size. Melon-headed whales' softly rounded faces and conical heads guarantee they lack beaks. They can be excluded from other whales using their sharp-pointed flippers, broad flukes, triangular head, and bow-shaped dorsal fin. Family and friendships are very important to melon-headed whales as they love swimming in large groups even with other dolphin species and engaging in bow-rides.
