Taxonomy

edit

“The Delphinoidea has a diverse taxonomy, with over 35 mammalia taxas. This includes the species of genusOdobenocetopsandOdobenus rosmarus[2].While also having two types of genus, they also have individual genomes with about 9 species across the three main families of the Delphinoidea. The three main families of the whale are the Delphinidae, Monodontidae and Phocoenidae.[3]
