Description
阿诺氏槌鲸(Berardius arnuxii)
The genus Berardius contains two species of beaked whale, Baird's Beaked Whale and Arnoux's Beaked Whale. The two species are so similar that some scientists regard their separation into distinct species as a historical anomaly. The two species are the largest of all beaked whales and collectively they are sometimes referred to as the giant beaked whales.
Baird's Beaked Whale was first described by Leonhard Hess Stejneger in 1883 from a specimen found in the Bering Sea. It's named for Spencer Fullerton Baird, a past Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Arnoux's Beaked Whale was described in 1851 by Duvernoy from a skull found in New Zealand. Berard was the captain of the ship that carried the skull from New Zealand to France where Duvernoy analysed it. Arnoux was the doctor on board the ship.
