Mesoplodon species are generalist feeders, in that they eat whatever prey is locally abundant.

(MacLeod, et al., 2003), Hector's beaked whales may play host to a number of parasites. Mesoplodon hectori
Sie dürften in Paaren zusammenleben und sich fast ausschließlich von Tintenfischen ernähren. Between 1975 and 1997, five beaked whales were found stranded in Southern California; based on morphology, four were identified as members of M. Hectori and one was identified as a member of Ziphius cavirostris. (Gales, et al., 2002; Mead, 1981; Pitman, 2008), Little information is known about their mating system. The mother nurses the young.

Genetic Identification and Biological Observation of Two Free-Swimming Beaked Whales: Hector’s Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon hectori, Gray, 1871), and Gray’s Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon grayi, Von Haast, 1876). First Records of Mesoplodon hectori (Ziphiidae) from the Northern Hemisphere and a Description of the Adult Male. However, based on longevity data from other members of the genus, this species may be a long-lived species, living at least to its early 30's and potentially even longer. at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0014-3820.2000.tb01261.x/pdf. While ADW staff and contributors provide references to books and websites that we believe are reputable, we cannot necessarily endorse the contents of references beyond our control. Zerbini, A., E. Secchi. However, because Mesoplodon species occupy a separate dietary niche, M. hectori most likely does not compete with other beaked whales for food. Beached specimens have been found in Argentina, the Falkland Islands, South Africa, Chile, New Zealand, and Tasmania. April 11, 2012 Some research suggests that Orcinus orca may occasionally prey on this species, but no definitive evidence exists to verify this claim. living in the southern part of the New World. Würsig, Bernd, J. G. M. Thewissen, and Kit M. Kovacs, eds. Living in Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, New Guinea and associated islands. Perrini). Scholars suggest that the mating behaviors of beaked whales may be similar to those of other toothed whales. Even though specific studies with M. hectori have not been conducted, it is likely that this species uses echolocation to forage in a similar fashion to other members of Mesoplodon. (Cappozzo, et al., 2005; MacLeod, 2000; Pitman, 2008), Most sightings of live and beached specimens of M. hectori suggest that this species generally occurs singly, but researchers have seen pairs on occasion.
