Description

Four individuals of cetaceans were stranded on the west coast of Satsuma Peninsula (Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan) during the period from 31 Jan. to 9 Feb. 2023, and identified as short-finned pilot whale Globicephala macrorhynchus Gray, 1846 (Cetartiodactyla: Delphinidae). Previous distributional records of this species in Kagoshima Prefecture were only known from south of the Tokara Islands. Therefore, four individuals of G. macrorhynchus confirmed in this study represent the first records of the species from the mainland of Kagoshima Prefecture.
