This species inhabits remote areas of the southern hemisphere. Observation of this species is very hard, therefore, we have little information about them. There are only about twenty specimens known. They have been seen in the company of risso's dolphins. There are concerns about peale's dolphins being caught in fish nets and being hunted with harpoons for use as crab bait.
