Being such a canonical, standard, little-changing subject, biology articles should have quite a lot of information, and the Afrosoricida article is very small in comparison to others such as Cetacea or Carnivora.

The marine mammals of the order Cetacea that have been identified in the Pacific is described in the literature review by Miller ( 2006 ) and by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme ( SPREP ).

"' Whippomorpha "'is the clade containing the Cetacea ( whales, dolphins, etc . ) and their closest living relatives, the hippopotamuses, named by Waddell et al . ( 1999 ).

For example, the figure which characterizes the length of the hair of a person will characterize the thickness of the layer of grease of a whale if the file corresponding is placed in the rack dedicated to the Cetacea.

Throughout the middle and late Eocene periods ( 49-31.5 million years ago ), archaeocetes, primitive toothed Cetacea that arose from terrestrial mammals with the creation of aquatic adaptations, were the only known archaic Cetacea.

By the current taxonomy of " Cetacea ", the classification in " Moby-Dick " is inaccurate and incomplete as well, presenting only a fraction of the nearly ninety species of Cetaceans known today.

Piscivory, or a diet based solely on fish, is likely the primitive condition for Cetacea, and it seems most parsimonious that " Aetiocetus " fed like an archaeocete, locating fish without the use of echolocation.

Around 40 mya, a common ancestor between the two branched off into cetacea and anthracotheres; nearly all anthracotheres became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene 2.5 mya, eventually leaving only one surviving lineage the hippopotamus.

:" the persistent and unwearying exertions of the numerous Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty among Cetacea and Crustacea . . . of all the vertebrate or invertebrate animals, the fish is the least amenable to reformatory discipline . . . ."
