Kogia Gray 1846
Description
Genus Kogia Gray, 1846
Kogia is often treated as a distinct Family, Kogiidae Gill, 1871, but is retained in the same phylogenetic group as the sperm whale (Genus Physeter) based on cytochrome b analysis (May-Collado & Agnarsson 2006). We followed the taxonomy by Mead and Brownell (2005). Two species are recognized, and both have a worldwide distribution.
