Pseudorca crassidens
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
Records exist for July, with the widest coverage in July. A quiet month can mean the animal was absent, or that nobody was looking.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 1 square of 25 km carry records for False Killer Whale in and around Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, and the 10 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Corcovado and the Osa Peninsula are the two atlas places where the False Killer Whale is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Portugal, Australia, Taiwan, and Guadeloupe. The atlas holds 1,230 records of Pseudorca crassidens across 20 countries.
