They have small compact bodies, small bulging eyes, have dorsal fins which rounded and small. They have wrinkled brown or blue- gray bodies with white or pink bellies. Pygmy Sperm Whales are usually seen alone or in small groups (6-7 animals). They spent very little time in the water surface and used sounds to navigate. They can dive around 1000 feet depth.
