Hubbs' Beaked Whale - Behavior

Behavior

Little is known about their behavior due to the infrequency of sightings (only one known); they probably travel in small groups like the other species. Due to the extreme amount of scars present on adult males, there probably is more male competition compared with other members of the genus. They are believed to feed on squid.

Famous quotes containing the word behavior:

    “As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment.”
    —Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 1 (1991)

    “The abdication of Belief
    Makes the Behavior small—
    Better an ignis fatuus
    Than no illume at all.”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “Gaining a better understanding of how children’s minds work at different ages will allow you to make more sense of their behaviors. With this understanding come decreased stress and increased pleasure from being a parent. It lessens the frustrations that come from expecting things that a child simply cannot do or from incorrectly interpreting a child’s behavior in adult terms.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
