The tropical bottlenose whale (Indopacetus pacificus), also known as the Indo-Pacific beaked whale or Longman's beaked whale, was considered to be the world's rarest cetacean until recently, but the spade-toothed whale now holds that position. As of 2010, the species is now known from nearly a dozen strandings and over 65 sightings.[3] This is the only species in the genus Indopacetus.
