Abstract

An undescribed breaching behaviour of a beaked whale Mesoplodon sp. was seen west of Brazil in the deep waters off the Abrolhos Bank. Consecutive breaches were performed in a counterclockwise circle, the whale always falling on its left side with its head inwards where two other whales were basking.
