Description
"This thoroughly revised second edition of Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises presents the latest research about these extraordinary animals. The first-section describes the origin, distribution and ecology of whales and dolphins, and explains the differences and similarities between the species. The second section explores the anatomy, reproduction, growth, intelligence and remarkable sensory systems of whales and dolphins, and analyzes their group social life Finally the third section reviews the complex interaction between whales and humans from ancient Greek-myths, through the whaling industry to today's greater understanding of these marine mammals."--BOOK JACKET
