The range of True's beaked whales overlaps with that of the Antillean beaked whale but is more northerly.
Stranded Specimens
The teeth of adult male True's beaked whales may be visible near the tip of the lower jaw, a characteristic shared with the goosebeaked whale (p. [70]) and the northern bottlenosed whale (p. [67]). Both these other species reach substantially greater maximum lengths than True's beaked whales, however, and should be readily distinguishable by this and the number of other highly distinctive characteristics of each species.
Females and subadult males may be confused with any of the beaked whales species (p. [74] and [Fig. 78]).
