Hyperoodon (or Hyperoödon)[1] is a genus of beaked whale, containing just two species: the Northern and Southern bottlenose whales.[2] Longman's beaked whales are alternatively called tropical bottlenose whales due to their physical features resembling those of bottlenose whales.
They are considered to be molluscivorous, eating mainly squid.[3]
