WHALE FACT OF THE WEEK: Melon-Headed Whales are highly social animals and typically travel in large groups of several hundred and up to 2,000 individuals have been seen traveling together. The whales are tightly packed and make frequent and rapid changes in direction. This behavior separates them from the very similar pygmy killer whale. They are often seen in large mixed aggregations with Fraser’s dolphin and have been viewed in mixed herds with spinner dolphins, common bottlenose dolphins and rough-toothed dolphins. savethewhales.org/Melon-Headed.html
