🐋Bryde's Whale

Balaenoptera brydei Olsen, 1913

Der Brydewal [ˈbryː.dəˌvaːl] (Balaenoptera edeni; Synonym: Balaenoptera brydei) ist eine Walart aus der Familie der Furchenwale (Balaenopteridae). Die Art wurde nach dem norwegischen Walfänger und Schiffseigner Johan Bryde (1858–1925) benannt. Der Status des ebenfalls häufig als eigene Art betrachteten Edenwals ist unklar, aufgrund genetischer Untersuchungen wurde er 1993 als eigene Art beschrieben, nach aktuellem Stand wird er jedoch nicht als eigenständig betrachtet.
