Classification of cetaceans ; Glossary ; Resources ; Notes on contributors ; Index ; Acknowledgments. 520 $a The eighty-nine cetacean species that swim our seas and rivers are as diverse as they are intelligent and elusive, from the hundred-foot-long, two-hundred-ton blue whale to the lesser-known tucuxi, ginkgo-toothed beaked whale, and diminutive, critically endangered vaquita. The huge distances these highly migratory creatures cover and the depths they dive mean we catch only the merest glimpses of their lives as they break the surface of the water. But thanks to the marriage of science and technology, we are now beginning to understand their anatomy, complex social structures, extraordinary communication abilities, and behavioral patterns. In this beautifully illustrated guide, renowned marine mammalogist Annalisa Berta draws on the contributions of a pod of fellow whale biologists to present the most comprehensive, authoritative overview ever published of these remarkable aquatic mammals. --Publisher. 650 0 $a Whales $x Anatomy. 650 0 $a Dolphins $x Anatomy. 650 0 $a Porpoises $x Anatomy. 650 0 $a Whales $x Behavior. 650 0 $a Dolphins $x Behavior. 650 0 $a Porpoises $x Behavior. 650 0 $a Whales $v Identification. 650 0 $a Dolphins $v Identification. 650 0 $a Porpoises $v Identification. 700 1 $a Berta, Annalisa, $e editor. 941 $a 9 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409023802.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508021825.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609042135.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170112010208.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826043524.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160716010439.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160628010705.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20160402011626.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20160302013428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26F97EAACEFB11E58B87B9A4DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
