Bryde's whale,
B. edeni
Bryde’s whale和sei whale十分相似,而且在早期,Bryde’s whale被當是sei whale.在1913,才被分為一種rorqual類鯨魚.牠的名字是由Johan Bryde改的,Johan是挪威人(Norwegian),他在南非的Durban建了第一座鯨魚中心.
當Bryde’s whale和sei whale在海的時候,即使是鯨魚專家,也是很難分別出Bryde’s whale和sei whale.Bryde’s whale比較細小,通常長12.5m-14m,在鼻子(snout)的頂部有明顯的骨脊.
若再嚴格地分,byrde’s whale還可以分成兩種,牠們是近岸(coastal form)和離岸(offshore form)兩類.
Byrde’s whale通常在較暖水的地方出沒,和一般的rorqual家族鯨魚不同,有些甚至一生都在暖水區域(tropical waters)居住,而不往冷的地方.
