What Makes the Spade-Toothed Whale One of the Rarest and Most Intriguing Cetaceans?

The diet of the spade-toothed whale primarily consists of squid and fish, which they hunt in the dark depths of the ocean. Their deep-diving abilities, allowing them to reach depths of over 1,000 meters (3,280 feet), enable them to access prey that many other marine animals cannot. This specialized feeding behavior highlights their adaptation to a unique ecological niche.
