Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs kˈə͡ʊd͡ʒə] (IPA) 
The Genus Kogia is a group of small marine mammals, commonly known as pygmy or dwarf sperm whales. Although there are only two known species within this genus - Kogia breviceps and Kogia sima - they are often referred to by various synonyms. These include the Latin name Physeterula, the common names short-finned and long-finned pygmy whales, and even the nickname "the pocket whales." Despite their small size - only reaching up to about 11 feet in length - these whales are known for their elusive behavior and deep diving abilities. As such, they remain a fascinating subject for researchers and marine enthusiasts alike.
