The French anatomist Georges Cuvier, in his treatise Sur les Ossements fossiles, first described the species based on an imperfect skull from the Mediterranean coast of France. It had been obtained by M. Raymond Gorsse in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône, near Fos, in 1804 from a local who had found it on the seashore the previous year. The record-breaking longest and deepest dive recorded is for a Cuvier’s beaked whale that held his or her breath for a phenomenal 137.5 minutes (2 hours and 17.5 minutes) and reached a depth of 2,992m (just under 3km or 2 miles) below the surface of the ocean in southern California.
