迄今为止，在外赫布里底群岛和佛罗里达之间搁浅的14个标本中已经记录了真喙鲸（Mesoplodon mirusTrue），并被认为是北大西洋物种。1959年，Talbot 2报道了一头成年雄性真氏鲸在南非荒野搁浅的事件。他认为这种分布范围的扩大可能表明该物种的南方变种，尽管摩尔认为这个标本是流浪的。
TRUE'S beaked whale (Mesoplodon mirusTrue) has hitherto been recorded from fourteen specimens stranded between the Outer Hebrides and Florida, and has been considered a North Atlantic species1. Talbot2reported the stranding of an adult male True's whale at Wilderness, South Africa, in 1959. He suggested that this extension of range could indicate a southern variety of the species, though Moore1regards this specimen as a stray.
