ADW: Long-finned Pilot Whale - Globicephala melas
The most characteristic trait of long-finned pilot whales is their large, bulbous, melon-shaped head. Long-finned pilot whales are mostly black with a gray saddle patch behind their dorsal fin and an anchor-shaped mark on their ventral surface.

Long-finned Pilot Whale - EOEarth
The long-finned pilot whale (scientific name: Globicephala melas) is one of two species in the genus Globicephala. The pilot whale is so named because when swimming, the groups of about 15 to 20 whales are often led by a single whale, the pilot.
