Mesoplodon densirostris
2D axial CT slice through the head of a Blainville's Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon densirostris) with a left temporal fossa intracranial hemorrhage. This animal died in a stranding associated with a naval sonar exercise (related report). The mechanism behind this hemorrhage is unknown at this time but has been reported in beaked whales stranding under similar circumstances.
