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. |
