The CollectA Blainville's Beaked Whale captures the elongated, spindle-shaped body characteristic of beaked whales. Its dark gray coloration includes lighter gray patches and scars, while the prominent arched lower jaw, small rear-positioned dorsal fin, and short, narrow flippers reflect the distinctive appearance of the species.
The most notable feature of Blainville's Beaked Whale is its pronounced lower jaw, which arches upwards and contains a pair of large, robust teeth. These teeth, which erupt only in males, are visible even when the mouth is closed and are used during intraspecific combat for dominance and mating rights. Females and juveniles lack these prominent teeth, having smoother jaws. The head of the whale is relatively small, with a slightly bulging forehead known as the melon, which is used in echolocation.
