They possess the shortest rostrum of current date cetaceans with a skull that is greatly asymmetrical^[1]. Dwarf sperm whale skull does not have an independent jugal, has prominent supracranial basin and sagittal septum. The left naris is notably larger than the right one^[1]

There are no records of sexual dimorphism among dwarf sperm whales^[2]

Juvenile whales appear to spend time at the outer section of the shelf and upper portion of the slope; adults exist in deeper waters ^[2]

The length of sexual maturity for dwarf sperm whales is estimated to be between 210-220 cm in both females and males^[2].

Age of sexual maturity and longevity are unknown ^[2]
