Figure 71 . — Goosebeaked whales have been rarely seen at sea. In these photos from the eastern tropical Pacific, note the white head of the animal on the 

 left. Goosebeaked whales are wary of boats and may dive for 30 min or more. When they surface, their blow, usually very indistinct, may project forward 

 and slightly to the left. {Photos by K. D. Sextan, courtesy of Natumal Marine Fisheries Service.)
