Melon (cetacean)
Mass of fat found in all toothed whales / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The melon is a mass of adipose tissue found in the foreheads of all toothed whales.[1][2] It focuses and modulates the animal's vocalizations and acts as a sound lens. It is thus a key organ involved in communication and echolocation.
