Ramari’s Beaked Whale
Mesoplodon eueu
Ramari's beaked whale (Mesoplodon eueu) is a medium size whale in the genus Mesoplodon. It is found in cool waters of the Southern Hemisphere. The species name, eueu, comes from the Khwedam word meaning 'big fish', as most of the strandings of these whales come from Khoisan territories in South Africa. The common name honours Māori whale expert Ramari Stewart.
