Question:
How many types of whales are there?
Reply:
Dear Jiorgia and Cameron from Perth Australia. There are 80 known species
of whales (porpoises, dolphins, whales). Please reference WhaleNet¹s
extensive information database to learn more about whales at
http://whale.wheelock.edu/whalenet_index.html.
Cheers!
