    Where is Mesoplodon hectori found?
    Mesoplodon hectori is found in pelagic oceanic waters in the Southern Hemisphere, primarily in cold temperate waters between 35° South and 55° South. Beached specimens have been found in Argentina, the Falkland Islands, South Africa, Chile, New Zealand, and Tasmania.

    Does Mesoplodon hectori eat other beaked whales?
    Most species of Mesoplodon tend to live near other genera of beaked whales, such as Ziphius and Hyperoodon, so it is possible that M. hectori comes into contact with other beaked whales. However, because Mesoplodon species occupy a separate dietary niche, M. hectori most likely does not compete with other beaked whales for food.

    Does Mesoplodon hectori migrate?
    While some research suggests that Mesoplodon hectori may engage in seasonal migration, evidence from other beaked whales shows long-term fidelity to specific locations; for example, one species of Mesoplodon was sighted in the same location over a period of fifteen years.

    When does a Mesoplodon hectori breed?
    Mesoplodon hectori has an interbirth period of at least three to four years, giving it a relatively slow reproductive capacity. No information exists as to the specific breeding season of this whale, but studies of other members of the genus suggests that breeding may occur between October and December.

    Is Mesoplodon hectori a suction feeder?
    Mesoplodon hectori is most likely a suction feeder like other species in the genus. Powerful muscles at the back of the tongue work in tandem with pleated throat grooves to allow the mouth to distend and create a vacuum that sucks prey into the mouth, prey that is then swallowed whole.

    animaldiversity.org
    Does Mesoplodon hectori use echolocation?
    Echolocation has been identified as a feeding behavior of this species, but high-frequency echolocation of up to 120 Hz may also be used for social communication. Mesoplodon hectori may also use non-echolocating sounds ranging from 1 to 16 kHz to communicate with other individuals.
