Cuvier Beaked Whale (a.k.a. JOY)
Depth: 2.992 m
Scientific name: Ziphius cavirostris
Joy = Perpetual Smile
Joy is often regarded as a pretty common feeling, one that comes by very easily. It’s there when we hear a joke, or when we pet a Golden Retriever puppy. Yeah, come to think of it, it is common. But it is also one of the deepest feelings known to men.
Cuvier Beaked Whales are known for having a short beak with a mouth-line that curves upwards and looks like a smile. Like most whales, they display a very docile behavior which, combined with their vaguely smiling appearance, reminds us of how we could and should all live our lives: joyfully and with a smile on our faces. ;o)
The Cuvier Beaked Whale ranks amongst the diving champions of the sea, reaching depths of 2.992 m (approx. 9,816 ft).
