The Goosebeaked Whale can reach a length of 23 feet.
Females are normally slightly larger than males of the same age.
At birth, a calf would probably be approximately 6 feet long. As in the True's beaked whale, this species also has teeth located at the tip of the lower jaw. There is not a lot of information on the distribution of the goosebeaked whale. Unfortunately, data on the distribution must come from records on the stranded specimens. They have been reported from Massachusetts to Florida and the West Indies.
