Bracho, L. & Smith, B.D. (Cetacean Red List Authority)| There is
a lack of adequate information to make an assessment of
extinction risk for this species (lack of a population estimate,

confined to South America, from the southern tip to about the
latitudes of Santiago, Chile (33°S), and northern Argentina
(38°S) (Goodall et al. 1997a; Brownell et al. 1999; Goodall
2002). The distribution may extend south well into Drake
