But tell me, isn't that the noise cetaceans make when they spurt water from their blowholes?
If it was a cetacean, it exceeded in bulk any whale previously classified by science.
Old legends even claim that these cetaceans led fishermen to within a mere seven leagues of the North Pole.
The cetacean had rammed our frigate at about eleven o'clock in the evening.
The enormous head of this cetacean occupies about a third of its body.
Not only primates and cetaceans, but also other long-lived mammals, like elephants, have females playing active (crucial) post-reproductive roles.
There is one behavioural pattern seen in group-living cetaceans that is individually maladaptive but could have arisen within a system of conformist traditions: mass stranding.
Studies of cetaceans have uncovered a number of patterns of behaviour and vocalizations, which some cetologists have ascribed to cultural processes.
