False Killer Whale skull

False Killer Whales (Pseudorca crassidens) belong to the oceanic dolphin family. Their long, slender bodies attain a maximum size of nearly 6 metres in length and they live in tropical and subtropical oceanic waters around the world. They are a difficult animal to study in the wild and much that we know about them comes from washed-up bones and skulls such as the specimen pictured here.
