Know an interesting cetacean link that isn't here? Suggest it to Wesley R. Elsberry.

I have listed below most species of cetaceans. Links will follow under each species. The listing follows taxonomic lines, rather than alphabetized common names or something similar. If you know a common name, but not a scientific name, try using your browser's search function for the common name. The taxonomy comes from both Peter Evans' "Biology of Whales and Dolphins" and Leatherwood and Reeves' "Handbook of Whales and Dolphins". There are a few discrepancies between the two. I hope I haven't confused the state of taxonomy too badly here.

Assorted Cetacean Links


Page history:  This page traces back to lists of links that I collected back in the fall of 1995.  At first, it was just a miscellany, and all was well, because so little was then available online.  Things changed, and as they did so, I began to list resources by alphabet, title, and species.  This page grew out of my species page.  I find the species links to yield the most detail.
