There are about 86 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises in the Order Cetacea, which is further divided into two sub-orders, the Odontocetes, or toothed whales and the Mysticetes, or baleen whales. Cetaceans can differ greatly in their appearance, distribution, and behavior.
But still, orcas are dolphins. As a matter of fact, they are the largest of the dolphin species growing to lengths in excess of 30 feet. Next to man, orcas are the most widely distributed mammal on Earth. In all, there are over 80 species of whales living in our world today. These 80 species of whales make up the classification order known as Cetacea. What is a Cetacean? Cetacean is the Latin name for whale. A Cetacean is a whale which belongs to the family known as Cetacea. Cetacea contains two suborders: Mysticeti and Odontoceti Baleen whales (whales without teeth) are members of the Mysticeti suborder. 1  Toothed whales, like the sperm whale, along with all the dolphins and porpoises, make up the suborder Odontoceti. 2  Altogether, the two suborders contain over eighty known species, further separated into thirteen different families.
