🐋Ginkgo-toothed beaked whale
Japon gagalı balinası (Mesoplodon ginkgodens), gagalı balinagiller (Ziphiidae) familyasından iki dişli balina (Mesoplodon) cinsine ait bir balina türü. Bu tür 1958 yılında japon zoologlar tarafından bulunmuş ve ilk bulundukları yerin (Japonya) adını elde etmişlerdir. Türün bilimsel adı (ginkgodens) bu türün azman dişleri ginkgo ağacının yapraklarına benzemesinden dolayı verilmiştir. Erkeklerin azman dişleri dışarıya çıkık, dişilerde ve yavrularda ise saklıdır.
