The dolphin is a marine mammal of the order of the toothed whales, therefore odontocetes. It is distinguished by its long pointed nose, the color gray, his teeth and his skin very smooth. This mammal is very intelligent.

 

The relationship between man and dolphin is very special, dolphins have a reputation as a savior. There are stories like how the dolphin helped lost sailors to find their way and save shipwrecked in sea. Some dolphins have even been called ambassadors because they have had contact with men.

The orca, also known as killer whale is a toothed whale. A characterized by the odontocete teeth, so the whale is a whale tooth. Although it is known as killer whales, it almost never attack humans. The orca eat penguins, fish, sea lions, porpoises, etc.. There are three distinct types of killer whales, orcas nomads who travel alone or in small groups, they are constantly moving; resident orcas, which always return to the same location during a certain period and move in groups five to 50 individuals and offshore killer whales, which move in groups of 30 to 60. Offshore killer whales are a derivative of resident killer whales.

 

We call her whale with teeth because she are odontocete. They have black backs, white bellies, white spots located at precise locations (above and behind the eye). Females are between 6 and 7 meters only to males who are between 7 and 9 meters. With its dorsal fin that can measure 2 meters and these particular colors, is easily recognizable. Males can weigh like 8.5 tons and females, 4 tons. The orcas can live to the age of 90 years, but the average age is 50 years.

 

Killer whales can be found in the Pacific around Vancouvert, New Zealand (where they are found in large numbers), the Atlantic to Morocco and the Strait of Gibraltar, in the Peninsula Valdes in Argentina and Quebec in the region named Escoumins.

The whale is a cetacean and marine mammal. In fact, the name "whale" is among the larger animals like the white whale and the orca. At first, the whales were considered fish, but because they have no gills and vents, indicating that the whale has lungs that are considered mammals. It's kind of mammal that the longer distance routes in migration of the planet. The blue whale has a size of 33 meters and weighs 100 tonnes. This example demonstrates the size and the size of a whale. But some species may have on whales the size of a human being. There are two groups of species of whales, toothed whales commonly called toothed whales like killer whales and sperm whales and baleen whales as beaked whales and orcas.

 

They are threatened because cosmetic companies have used the fat and the flesh of whales in their product. The whaling is now strictly limited, but some countries like Japan and Norway continue to hunt whales because of the economic loss that would result. Fish are one of the main resource of these two countries and the whale eat a ton, so they want to cut off being pulled more fish to eat. The whale is also consumed in these countries, which can lead to considerable demand for whale meat, and then follow the extinction of the whale. We must therefore fight against those two countries for the last whale is protected by all countries of the world. No whales, plankton and crustaceans may turn off and completely change life in the oceans.

The line is a fish dish and with corp fin-shaped wing. There are 109 species of rays. Most lines are held in the bottom of the sea, but some species live in freshwater. They are filter feeders fish or shellfish. some species have a sting ray whose bites can be deadly to humans. They are edible, that is why they are endangered. Fishermen still exceed the limits of acceptability for the money. " And it's also because there is no law to protect the lines. About 42% of species are endangered in the Mediterranean line and 26% in the North Atlantic by the IUCN (International Union for Nature concervation).
