A234 Whales
The Cetacea order includes whales, porpoises,
and dolphins. It includes 90 species, some known
only by a single specimen. The whales are the most
popular, so this title focuses on them. By not including
the porpoises and most of the dolphins, this
poster is able to present larger images and informative
facts about all whale species, such as the
estimated world population. The “false whales,” such
as the Killer Whale, are also included, even though
they are biologically classified as dolphins.
Although whales are mammals, this poster does
not show all of the Cetacean orders; thus it is not
considered part of the Mammal series. Rather, it is
part of our Sea Life series.
Two scuba divers are
shown in the same scale
as the whales to emphasize
their great size. Can
you find the other one?
Hint: It’s a girl in a red
bathing suit
