Pilott

Pilott, also known as pilot whale, is a marine mammal belonging to the family Delphinidae. There are two main species of pilott: the common pilott (Globicephala melas) and the long-finned pilott (Globicephala macrorhynchus). Pilots are known for their distinctive black and white coloration, with a white patch on their forehead and a black dorsal fin. They are found in all the world's oceans, preferring temperate and tropical waters.

Pilots are medium-sized whales, with adults typically ranging from 4 to 6 meters in length and weighing between 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms. They have a streamlined body, with a beak-like snout and a long, slender tail. Their diet primarily consists of fish, squid, and octopus, which they hunt in groups.

Pilots are social animals, often found in groups of 10 to 20 individuals. They are known for their complex social structures, with dominant males and females leading the group. Pilots are also known for their playful behavior, often engaging in acrobatic displays in the water.

Pilots are considered a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). However, they are still vulnerable to threats such as bycatch in fishing nets and entanglement in fishing gear. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect pilot populations and their habitats.
