| | Killer Whale - MSN Encarta |
| | Scientific classification: Killer whales are the largest member of the family Delphinidae of the suborder Odontoceti (the toothed whales) of the order Cetacea. | | | The flippers are also distinctive; they are large and oval, and are unlike those of any other toothed whale. | | | However, killer whale groups that have been studied tend to be remarkably stable, with males and females staying in their natal groups (or pods) for life. |

| | Whale Anatomy - Enchanted Learning Software |
| | Toothed whales are predators that use their teeth to catch squid, fish, marine mammals, etc. Baleen whales have a sieve-like structure called baleen that catches huge amounts of tiny krill for nourishment. | | | The heartbeat of a whale varies from whale to whale - in general, larger animals have a slower heat rate than smaller animals). | | | Whales lower their heart rate when they dive beneath the water - this conserves oxygen and lets them dive longer. |
