Description
|
|
|
|
Distant relatives of mankind in evolutionary terms, cetaceans are mammals that returned to the sea about 60 million years ago; today there are 81 species accounted for, which have colonized nearly all the world's oceans and some big rivers. This guide, illustrated with hundreds of drawings, anatomical diagrams, and color photos up to 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches, presents the most recent research on whale and dolphin behavior and biology—including breeding, feeding, migrating, and group behavior—as well as their history and place in human culture. The latter half of the book is a field guide to the different species of whales and dolphins throughout the world.
