Classifications The order CETACEA is divided into three subgroups: ODONTOCETI or ‘toothed whales’ - All of these species have teeth, feeding largely or fish and squid - They have an external blowhole - Their throat pleats are absent MYSTICETI or ‘moutached whales’ - A series of plates grow down from the roof of the whales mouth made of baleen (keratin),the outer edge is smooth, the inner edge is bristly in structure allowing the whales to act as giant filter feeders. - They feed on small krill, copepods & small schooling fish. - They have two external blow holes - Throat pleats are often present to allow expansion when feeding Cetaceans share the majority of mammalian features with their terrestrial counterparts: - They give birth to live young and produce milk from mammary glands - They’re warm blooded, maintaining a core temperature of 36 - 37oC - Breathe air with the aid of lungs ARCHAEOCETI or ‘ancient whales’ Now Extinct!
