Cetacea Palaestina : The Whales and Dolphins in Palestinian Waters. Cetacean Species Guide for Palestine قياطس فلسطين By: Dr. Sc. Norman Ali Bassam Ali Taher Khalaf- Sakerfalke von Jaffa Cetacea Palaestina: Applies to species, individuals of which have either been sighted offshore or have beached in an apparently good nutritional status. Cetaceans of the Mediterranean continental shelf (presented in descending order of body size): 1. Sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus 2. Minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata 3. Cuvier's beaked whale Ziphius cavirostris 4. False killer whale Pseudorca crassidens 5. Risso's dolphin Grampus griseus 6. Common bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncates 7. Rough-toothed dolphin Steno bredanensis 8. Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin Sousa chinensis 9. Short-beaked Common dolphin Delphinus delphis 10. Striped dolphin Stenella coeruleoalba 221
Cetaceans of the Gulf of Aqaba / Eilat (absent from the Mediterranean): 11. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin Tursiops aduncus 12. Arabian Common Dolphin Delphinus tropicalis 13. Pantropical spotted dolphin Stenella attenuata 14. Long-snouted spinner dolphin Stenella longirostris 1. Sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus): Meaning of species name is "big head". Cosmopolitan, the largest toothed-whale and record holder of both dive depth (2 km) and dive duration (2 h) among marine mammals. At sea identification: The largest regional cetacean and the only one demonstrating marked sexual bimorphism, males reaching 18 m and females only 11 m. The crate-shaped head is disproportionately large, especially in the mature male, where it comprises a third of the body length. Unlike other cetaceans, the skin is wrinkled. Pectoral fins are very small relative to body size and the dorsal fin is essentially lacking, being replaced by an inconspicuous hump, and trailed by a series of small ridges. Color ranges from dark grey to brown, the under part of the head showing lighter coloration. The blow is very prominent and distinctly diagonal, aimed forward and leftward. Uses a "fluke-up" dive when sounding (tailstock exposed vertically, with the under part of the 222
