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.
Of the 78 species of whales, 11 species are baleen whales, which means that they eat by straining small organisms into their mouth. The rest of the species fall under the category of toothed whales. All whales live in a marine environment, or the sea, except for four species of river dolphins that thrive solely in fresh water. Whales all share a few common features, like blowholes. Blowholes are the nostrils of the whale and are positioned on top of the head.
