There are close to 100 species of whales, which include dolphins and porpoise. All these aquatic creatures swim in water.

In zoological terminology Whales, dolphins and porpoise belong to the order Cetacea. Baleen whales and Toothed whales are the two sub-orders of the Cetacea order.

Fine comb-like appendages hang from the upper jaw of Baleen whales, which are used to filter small creatures like sea planktons and crustaceans, which form the main food of Baleen whales.

Toothed whales have tooth, which are used to catch and chew their smaller prey.
