Ziphius cavirostris

Ziphius cavirostris, commonly known as the Cuvier's beaked whale, is an enigmatic and deep-diving marine mammal that occasionally visits the waters around Croatia.

These elusive creatures, known for their distinct beak and deep-set eyes, contribute to the diversity of the Adriatic Sea. However, they face challenges from human activities such as underwater noise pollution and interactions with maritime vessels.

Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their habitat and ensure their continued presence in Croatian waters. Let's work together to safeguard the Cuvier's beaked whales in the Adriatic!
