Longman's beaked whale is a poorly known, relatively large beaked whale with a pronounced melon, long beak and a dorsal fin positioned well back on the body. Adults are approximately 6–6.5m long. Knowledge initially came from only two skulls, and the first complete animals were documented much later. Strandings and sightings indicate a tropical and subtropical distribution through deep waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans. (Wikipedia, general species account)
