Unlike coastal whales visible from shore, this species operates in remote pelagic zones where the seafloor drops dramatically, making human encounters rare and scientific study extremely difficult.

Because it occupies such inaccessible terrain, much of its life history remains mysterious, highlighting how even large mammals on Earth can remain largely hidden in the planet’s vast deep-ocean frontier.
