Genus Kogia Gray, 1846 View in CoL View at ENA

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.
