摘要

Abstract

Observations were made on one eye from a Longman’s beaked whale Indopacetus pacificus

which was probably one of the least known extant cetaceans. The whale died shortly after swimming aground on the coast in the Nishikata Beach

Sendai-shi

Kagoshima-ken Prefecture

Japan

on July 26

2002. It was a mature female with body length 6.45 m. This paper documented the basic structural characteristics of her visual organ of the whale in order to better understand this animal.
