Layard's Beaked Whale
Layard's Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon layardii), also known as the Strap-toothed Whale or the Long-toothed whale is a large Mesoplodont with some of the most bizarre teeth of any mammal. The common and scientific name was given in honor of Edgar Leopold Layard, the curator of the South African Museum who wrote an initial description of a skull.
