False killer whales live in ocean waters ranging in temperature from 9 to 31 degrees C, although they prefer to be in the warm end of this range. They may migrate seasonally, but the evidence for this is not yet conclusive.

The false killer whale is a small porpoise closely resembling the pilot whale, its close relative. They are rather small compared to other cetaceans, the males growing to 19 ft (5.7 m) in length, and the females growing to the slightly smaller length of 16.3 ft (4.9 m).

Groups of these whales may number from two to several hundred with both sexes and all age groups represented. These delphinids are known to emit "whistling" sounds audible to humans and probably are good echolocators. They eat squid and fish.

The single species, P. crassidens, occurs in all the temperate and tropical oceans and seas of the world (Rice 1977). The species was described in 1846 on the basis of a fossilized skull found in the Lincolnshire Fens in England. Stranded animals collected in 1862 in the Bay of Kiel allowed assessment of the external morphology.
