Distribution. Most records come from either New Zealand or the Atlantic coast of South America, but also recorded in Tasmania, Western Australia, and South Africa; distribution remains unclear due to the small number of confirmed strandings. There are no records of this species between New Zealand and the Pacific coast of South America, but it is unclear whether this represents a break in distribution or a lack of research activity in this region. Earlier records from the Pacific coast of USA have since been reclassified as Perrin's Beaked Whale (M. perrini). in Ziphiidae
