The urinary bladder of the cetaceans (whales and dolphins) is proportionally smaller than that of land-dwelling mammals. In the whole class of Aves there is no urinary bladder per se.

CAKUT can be classified by the degree and type of malformation as follows: Aplasia is a congenital absence of kidney tissue. Kidneys that are small for age
