About us

Thank You

All whales, dolphins, and porpoises are Cetaceans. Cetaceans are divided into two groups, those with baleen (Mysticetes), and those with teeth (Odontocetes). These two suborders are divided into nine different families. The dolphins on this site are from the Delphinidae family.
