The blue whale is a marine mammal and a baleen whale. Reaching a maximum confirmed length of 29.9 m and weighing up to 199 t, it is the largest animal known ever to have existed. The blue whale’s long and slender body can be of various shades of greyish-blue on its upper surface and somewhat lighter underneath.
The sperm whale or cachalot is the largest of the toothed whales and the largest toothed predator. It is the only living member of the genus Physeter and one of three extant species in the sperm whale superfamily Physeteroidea, along with the pygmy sperm whale and dwarf sperm whale of the genus Kogia.
The fin whale, also known as the finback whale or common rorqual, is a species of baleen whale and the second-longest cetacean after the blue whale. The biggest individual reportedly measured 26–27 m in length, with a maximum recorded weight of 70 to 80 tonnes.
The orca, or killer whale, is a toothed whale and the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family. The only extant species in the genus Orcinus, it is recognizable by its distinct pigmentation; being mostly black on top, white on the bottom and having recognizable white eye patches.
The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. It is a rorqual and is the only species in the genus Megaptera. Adults range in length from 14–17 m and weigh up to 40 metric tons. The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with long pectoral fins and tubercles on its head.
Bryde’s whale, or the Bryde’s whale complex, putatively comprises three species of rorqual and possibly four. The “complex” means the number and classification remain unclear because of a lack of definitive information and research.
A dolphin is an aquatic mammal in the cetacean clade Odontoceti. Dolphins belong to the families Delphinidae, Platanistidae, Iniidae, Pontoporiidae, and possibly extinct Lipotidae. There are 40 extant species named as dolphins.
